    buying stolen goods

    is buying stolen items a sin.
    is it the same as stealing?

    Depends where the stuff came from. I would'nt buy stolen goods from a house robbery but from a business no problem or rich people.

    I once got bought a set of golf clubs maybe 10 or so years ago that where hot. I think I paid like $50 for a new set of Callaways and resold them for 5 or 6 hundred. The funny part of this and the reason I don't feel too bad about it was the golf balls in the bag had the name of the owner and he was know at the time where I'm from and he was a multi millionare so I didn't lose sleep over it. (I think these were stolen out of his car)

    I do have a problem with people breaking into house and robbing the place thats not cool.

    gamblers and their moral compass

    dude gets shit stolen from his car and that's okay
    but if its a person's house, suddenly, that's not cool

    Why do you worry about blue collar crime when white collar crime is epidemic?

    An extremely prevalent attitude in the US unfortunately, most people think that somehow stealing isn't wrong if the victim has "too much" (in the opinion of the robber)

    Did buy sometimes years ago until I had my place robbed when out of town at a funeral.

    It's easier to justify stealing from corporations and the rich but morally speaking, it is wrong.

    The way things are going nowadays... 70% off retail.... or no deal. Not a penny more to these crack addicts. They'll take anything.

    the crazed crackhead thieves i have see could havte easily had 100k over a 12 month span selling the brand new merch online, but probably have 5-10K crack money. I love drinking, never understood why people use a drug that makes you a nervous wreck.

    I dunno why people do it either. It's the same reasoning I use to not smoke cigs, or anything harder then weed. What if I try crack, and I really like it, I'm not going to become a crackhead, so why bother trying it. Same goes for meth, heroin, etc.

    i have done it all. when you drink heavy cocaine feels GREAT! if you don't drink and use coke it's not enojoyable, it makes a person feel very anxious. I get why people drink heay and use coke, i don' understand why a sober person would even be tempted to use coke.
