POLL: Do you consider this theft? (Page 5/9) JimmyS SEP 19, 10:46 PM Oh lookie <~~~ it's sad that it took a thread like this one to get my ratings bar to show up. Fastback 86 SEP 19, 10:55 PM quote Originally posted by JimmyS: Why shouldn't I leave the username in? He posted it himself and obviously isn't ashamed of his actions so why should I delete the name? All I did is quote him with his own words. It's not like he called me and told me all this on the phone and then I came here and posted it. He made the post himself in "THIS" forum and I simply started and new thread to discuss the post he himself made. Geeze people, hate the guy who did the crime not the guy who wanted to see what everyone else thought of "his" actions. So if he freely admitted it, why did you feel the need to repost it for everyone? It was plain to see in the original thread. Do you feel better now that you've taddled on him? What did you hope to accomplish? And for the record, yes it's stealing, and no I don't care. Emc209i SEP 19, 11:08 PM So it was the fact that he bragged about it that made you feel you had the right to rat him out? That somehow wasn't enough, you had to air what he said to the world so they'd come down on him? I'm lost, who told you you had an obligation to point him out?

That somehow wasn't enough, you had to air what he said to the world so they'd come down on him? I'm lost, who told you you had an obligation to point him out? He ratted himself out by posting it to begin with. "He" aired it to the world when he posted it on a open public forum. "He" pointed himself out by saying...look at what I did! You can be ticked at me all you want for starting a thread but I tell you what...it sure doesn't say a lot for your character by defending his actions. If you notice that I have'nt repied to all the people that said what they had to say about the question at hand... It's because no comment was needed. I read their opinion and left it at that (reason I started the thread to begin with). You on the other hand just seem to go on and on and on about me slamming him when all I did was quote "his own words". If he feels so strongly about being called a thief then he shouldn't have made a post saying he stole stuff. UH DUH! Talk to any detective and they will tell you that most crimes are solved due to the fact that the perp. couldn't keep his fat mouth shut. Lets all go commit crimes and then brag about it and get all ticked at the world when we get caught. Makes sense to me. NOT! Emc209i SEP 20, 12:26 AM He posted in a thread, he didn't start one about being a thief, you did. What you did was slander him. I think what you did was more uncalled for than what he did. His past doesn't define him, he's still a human being. You think that because he swept some things in his pocket he's no longer entitled to his dignity? Why did you take it so personally and involve yourself, it had nothing to do with you! You think because you feel you've been cheated before you have the obligation to tell other people about everything you read?

You think because you feel you've been cheated before you have the obligation to tell other people about everything you read? Your ignorance is really starting to show here. I bet I would have an easier time, in court, proving he is a thief then you would have charging me with slander. You need to look up the definition. I could not be charged with slander for quoting his "own" post. Your morals are messed up if you think theft is less of a crime than quoting a confession. If he was worried about his dignity then he should not have posted his crime on an open forum. There seems to be a lot more people in this thread that agree it is theft, then there are people who agree with you. I'm through discussing this with you. Emc209i SEP 20, 12:52 AM I don't care what other people think... You need to get laid. WhiteDevil88 SEP 20, 12:58 AM Speeding is against the law, too. Steven Snyder SEP 20, 01:51 AM quote Originally posted by WhiteDevil88: Speeding is against the law, too. Well said. This thread is like cross-posting a video someone posted of them driving on the street at well over the posted speed limit (there are probably hundreds of these on Pennock's alone) in a new thread with the title: "POLL: Do you consider this speeding?" JimmyS, why don't you call out the speeders too?
