Re: RE: Sad - but true
So basically what your saying is that you aren't a petty thief but an ungrateful beep.... nice jeez a piece of fruit, most people charge 20 for a hone if your lucky. I'm honing my razors atm but if I do go public please don't send me any business as I once ate a blackberry from a pick your own farm.

Nice bloke or not - stealing is stealing, a thief is a thief. The fact that it seems to be accepted here to the point that not only will someone admit to it in a public forum, but suggest that others do likewise then have these views supported by other members of the forum, I find totally baffling. Clearly my standards of honesty are at odds with the accepted standards of behaviour here. Sad, but true indeed.

That is theft by deception. It is amazing how fast ones opinion can change of people. Casual shoplifting is despicable.
Coming from a company that fed you me and a few million British people Horse meat for god knows how many years and they barely got away with a slap on the wrist and I see it as a poor form of compensation they've taken a lot more money off me through the years than I will ever take off them FUCK THEM! I'm the type of person that will go the extra mile to help the right people never made a insurance compensation claim in my life home or car, never claimed benefit even when I was entitled to it, I confront trouble makers in my community my neighbours call around regular I class myself as a honest person but when I deal with multi national corporations I have a different mindset after all we are talking about the biggest criminals on the planet, maybe I should have charged you more than the miserly £10 for honing your Kamisori and actually given Tesco rates which would have been more fitting.
Stealing is stealing is stealing no matter how you justify it to yourself. Our definitions of an "honest person" are clearly very different.
I fervently wish I had seen that post of yours before I ended up sending my razor to a self confessed thief.
It would seem that my version of honesty puts me in a minority here so I will trouble you no further.
