StarSparkle Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 At least "the real big time theives" have worked for the money that they are "theiving" legally btw. Ha, ha, that's a good one. Don't think the Inland Revenue would be very impressed with that 'argument'. Those guys are stealing the same as any shop-lifter - taking what doesn't belong to them StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my argument still stands they are stealing and it is wrong no doubt but at least they are stealing what they have worked far something I see as less serious as they are not directly stealing from me like the filthy work shy waste of life from the programme last night.

Isn't stealing stealing then?, and on a far greater scale than someone making an extra 20 quid a week so that they can pay their bills, lets get it into perspective here... corperate theives are robbing the taxman of money beyond most peoples wildest dreams in false expenses alone.

The whole system stinks to high heaven. Personally, I regard tax avoidance as immoral StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like you're not really concerned about the morality or otherwise of stealing - you're only bothered about it because you think these 'dole scounger types' are getting one over on you, as you see it.... Try and see the big picture - what 'dole scroungers' get away with is pennies in the ocean as against what big companies and their employees get away with stealing StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also may a point out that you jump on your high horse saying I don't care about the morality of stealing I was brought up to believe that stealing a packet of sweets was just as bad as stealing £1m as whatever way you paint it stealing is stealing.
