Default Re: I need help understanding this mindset

That brings up another point. This line of thinking seems to suggest that stealing is justified by hardship...any stealing, not just survival needs. They're poor, and what little they have is gone, so it's justifiable that they steal back what was lost, plus interest. Somehow, it's owed to them, or something.

Wish I'd known about this when Bonfire collapsed at Texas A&M...all the mental and emotional trauma I suffered could really have been soothed by a brand new stereo system or a new car.

Can't believe I'm agreeing 100% with Bicycles on something. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
