    Found myself skint tonight and was forced to nab some vittles from the supermarket. Expensive range Lasagne, a bottle of irn bru, some Popcorn and one of those Galaxy chocolate drinks.

    Payed for my skins though.

    I have strong self-justification on ideological grounds.

    And I'd bet 1 out of 10 people here have shoplifted more than 2 items from shops since january 2005, and 9 out of 10 of you have been tempted :yes: .

    How do you get away with nicking that much stuff?

    I used to nab the odd thing, wouldn't even dream of it anymore though.

    There is no excuse for being a pikey unless you are one and in that case if you are so skint that you have to ask for freebies everytime you try and buy something why don't you sell your luxury caravan 3000 along with your brand new tax-free 4x4 toyota. OR if you really wanna, ask your gf to shit out a sprog so you can claim child benifit and get a 4 bedroom council house all on the tax payers expense. :lol:

    Anyway, to add something to the discussion... For those who have said stealing is against the law, and that it's immoral... well it is, obviously, but the law itself recognizes there are exeptions to things like stealing if you are under a "state of necessity" (as how I assume its translated into English). If I'm not mistaken, this principle was introduced by St. Thomas Aquinas. And basically what he said is that if you perpetrate an act that's morally wrong to avoid the occurence of a worst one, then your action is morally justified. This is applicable to someone who is starving to death, and to avoid dying of starvation, steals food (as obviously saving a human life is a superior interest than some food getting stolen).

    I believe this principle has been adopted by the laws of most western countries -at least- (I'm assuming the UK is one of them) and it is also used in international laws. If the "state of necessity" is invoked, and resolved in favour of, the criminal act that in another circumstance would go punished, in this case won't.

    Now, of course a "state of necessity" is very hard to prove, and courts will only accept it in really extreme cases... and of course there's room for a lot of debate as to what consitutes a real state of necessity, but there you go.

    Oh, and just for the record, I think it's pretty clear that Spliffie's little immoral act doesn't fall into this category. And no, I've never stolen, was tempted to when I was a kid, hope I'll never do it.

    Do you? Yes he has no morals. He is well chuffed he stole crap, and expects everyone to high five him on this thread and that shit won't fly in my eyes.

    If you don't agree with him getting high or stealing than give him grief about that.

    I'd stop throwing around stupid insults such as 'ned' though.

    YOU think it's stupid, but I think it fits him in his character he's portraying.

    it seems everybody has a different interpretation on the term and it's fucking stupid.

    Everyone has a different interpretation of EVERYTHING. It's called human nature incase you didn't know.

    And as I've worked in Trongate - Junkie/NeddyVille for three years on the trot, and lived in Glasgow etc. I think I have the right to say he does sound like a ned, he might not be, but from what he's telling us here, he does have neddy tendencies.

    So tough titty.

    Yeah, it's just a handful of people right now thinking that.

    I, on the other hand think he's a thieving pillock who deserves nowt but crap on his plate. Nobody owes him shit. So he needs to lose this attitude ASAP.

    You're an expert then. :)

    Ned, Chav, Pikey ect - just bone stereotypes thrown around by stupid people. That's the point I was making. They're so ambigous they mean nothing.

    No he's an intelligent person, if you look around the boards you'll realise this.

    And the insinuation I was making was based on your assumptions and tendency to use stereotypes, Spliffie does drugs and steals therefore he's a chav, you like sex so you're a slut. Sorry, that's the way it is...though we know it's not.

    When did I say that?

    I'm saying he's a ned because he has a stoner AV and he thinks the fact that he paid for his Rizlas justifies that he's a good guy. *sniff sniff* I smell shite.

    He then went and had a bitch about Glaswegians and the neddish culture because of Jazza's Mam, etc. Not nice. PLUS, he has a MAJOR chip on his shoulder.

    Quite the characteristics of a ned.

    I'm a ned because I have a stoner AV? :confused:

    How exactly does that work? Not that you want to get onto that subject - you'd only end up looking even sillier.

    I suppose the same goes for some of the most famous and respected minds of the last century, spiritualists and mystics, the majority of successful musicians and the sharpest journalistic minds of our time?

    Some real ignorance you've got here, 1983 - and a serious double standard when it comes to your supposedly oh-so-superior sense of morality.

    Oh yeah, and I'm a Glaswegian myself - and it quite clearly isn't a "bitch".

    Living in fairyland nice is it?

    It's a term for dick, stupid, whatever you want to call it, i'm just after a big spliff.

    If people decide to steal they can, it's none of my business unless their stealing from me, some people have to do it and others just do it for the buzz, i've taken a couple of chocolate bars and stuff nothing serious but i know people that go into shops robbing things they don't even need just for the craic, stupid.
