What would you have done?

[StlKj]

Everytime people report another they are taking over the judgment and punishment, to the extent that they get pleasure from knowing that another person was made to suffer, and a greater personal gratification after having contributed to that suffering by reporting or sharing their opinion on the person's guilt.
The person may have done wrong, and we may have seen it, but if we judge them (whether we report it or not) then we have done a greater evil than the person who did the original deed.

Respectfully...horsecrap! I hope to God that if I'm ever attacked by someone that the bystanders who witness the attack do not share your opinion. If you witness someone doing wrong/unlawful acts and remain silent, you contribute to the crime. As another poster pointed out, shoplifting hurts all consumers as it passes the loss of revenue on to us in the form of higher costs. It also hurts the business person who is trying to make a living from selling goods. Reporting people who do such a thing not only helps consumers and business owners, but it also often helps the shoplifters, many of whom suffer from a compulsive need to take things and an unhealthy need to be caught and stopped.

I've reported people in the past for stealing, and would do so again in a heartbeat. While there may be consequences on my soul in the way you look at the situation, I KNOW the consequences on my soul if I stand by and compromise what I know to be the right thing just because I would rather not get involved.

Sounds like "illusions of grandeur," to me. Is this supposed to happen before and or after the stint in the world of porn??? Or have we given up that idea?

Oh Michael! The stint in porn idea was at least more than 4 minutes 23 seconds ago. We have had 298 board-clogging fantasy/nonsense threads since then! We are into knitting now - I am hoping it is a straight jacket being knitted seeing as the word straight comes up so often.

I have heard of post whores but is there such a thing as a thread whore?

This got buried in the shoplifting thread but id like to know what you would have done.



I was at the check out line today and the lady infront of me put 6 items into her purse and a bag that she didnt pay for.

If you were behind this lady and saw what she did would you,

A) Pretend you never saw it

B) Tell the chasier

C) Tell the woman, not to do it

D) Let the woman know you saw her, and just give her a certain look

E) Take the items out of her purse and purchase them for her

F) Just Do nothing.

i would wait til i was outside, go up to her and tell her i saw what she did...and if she didn't split what she shoplifted 70/30 in my favor, i would turn her in...if she gave me lip, i would pull a seinfeld and grab the items from her and run...

just because i miss my youthful shoplifting sprees...

I'd say very loudly to no one in particular that it's amazing how many items you can fit into a standard handbag just to see her get busted. I'm not judging her, I just want to see thigns play out. Good fun and all that.

BTW, you're a great reader of digital sarcasm, especially when the answer seems pretty clear and straight forward. Maybe I'm being sarcastic, too! Maybe we're all being sarcastic! Holy crap!
