Re: How many of you steal?
Walmart I believe is 1st in the Fortune 500 list. They have so much money that money literally does not matter to them. Giving meals to those in need would literally do nothing to their profits.[/quoted]
I just looked it up and Walmart does give millions to foodbanks.
If you take a cup of water out of the lake, it just a cup of water. Does it take 'literally nothing' from the lake? No, it takes a cup out. If you start taking dozens of cups a day, then a couple of baths worth, and multiply that by a city, if the lake isn't constantly replenished, it can shrink down. A drop out of a bucket looks like very little. Poke a tiny hole in the bottom that releases a drop every few seconds, and your will come back in a few hours to find an empty bucket.
But 'shrinkage' from theft does affect profits. They measure that amount. The (sometimes old) people they put by the door who check your receipt if something is not in a bag are shrinkage agents. Shrinkage is big enough of an issue for them to pay those people's salaries.
But it does not matter how rich Walmart is. Don't steal so that ___you___ won't be bad or compromise your integrity. I don't mean to single 'you' out. That applies to everyone.
Where did that come from? The Democratic party is too divisive. They support weird social experiments that damage people. 30 years ago if a little boy told his parents he wanted to be a girl or a little girl told her parents she wanted to be a boy, the parents might gently talk some sense into the child, find out why (getting to go to the slumber party, paint faces, climb trees with boys who don't want to play with girls.) Now, weirdos have got funding to go into schools and confuse the kids by telling the boys that they might really be girls on the inside or telling the girls they might really be boys on the inside. Which political party backs this garbage up? Of course this creates division because parents who aren't easily brainwashed by the placement of trans characters in TV, the rhetoric from liberal teachers, and the whole propaganda campaign are going to oppose schools trying to convince their children to get castrated or to get their breasts chopped off.If you say you're a Christian, then you would know that Jesus was a compassionate and generous and loving person. He would give to others in need. He would want to bring people together instead of separating others. In all the countries I've been to, the ones that are the happiest and live in peaceful harmony are the ones where the people say hello to strangers and are nice to each other. Colombia for the most part was one. Most definitely Vietnam. Some parts of America (smaller towns).
I encourage you to vote for the Democrat ticket on this year's election sir.
I don't want to vote for the pro-child-castration party, or the kill-the-baby-in-the-womb party, or the raise-your-taxes party, or the bizarre-social-engineering party.
If you care about the poor, give to the poor. Don't vote for a party to raise taxes and give some of it on the poor, and spend some of it on pork barrel, and some of it on damaging and offensive social engineering projects. I heard a researcher describe his research on who gives more, conservatives or liberals. Based on percentage of income, conservatives gave much more of their income, surprisingly even to environmental causes, than liberals. Church going conservatives gave much more. Occasionally, I run across a liberal/progressive who tries to paint conservatives as stingy because conservatives generally don't want the government to take even more money from people to give to inefficient social programs and other issues. But whether one is stingy or not is best measured by what one does with what one has. Voting Democrat is not a good work. It isn't giving to the poor.
I already emailed a Democrat senator who represents me. Usually, if you email them, you get some kind of response. One of my Congressmen will have aides call us back. But I emailed my senator and told him that though I never served in the military and wasn't of retirement age, I identify as 6 retired 5 star generals and I haven't got my paycheck yet, and I haven't seen a single email or heard a single phone message back from him on this, and he hasn't sent me a check, even though he supported giving trans people special legal protections that other people do not get. So why should I vote Democrat?
Regarding unity, Jesus did not speak about unity at all costs. He said He came not to bring peace but a sword, talked about setting relatives at variance with one another, and a man's enemies would be they of his own household. Families would be divided over him and Christians would be persecuted. The Bible does speak of the benefits of unity, but we have to be united around the right things.

Exactly because no one else would even take out the time to do that just because they want the attention. I wouldn't go into a piss poor country just to exploit the condition for online hits, places like that would make me uncomfortable but I live in America aka California. We have shitty living conditions just like the situation in that India travel video, except it's even worse here because the high rates of violent crime everywhere on top of the poverty.

Re: How many of you steal?
A rainbow robber?
I notice you didn't claim the other orifices of these homosexual men were 'virgin.' Did you mess with the guys other non-virgin holes that the previous homosexuals had accessed?
Re: How many of you steal?
if stealing is illegal, then hookups should be too.
the myth of consent is that a female can do whatever she wants as long it doesn't hurt anyone so because a man can have as many sex as possible while leaving others sexually frustrated is perfectly fair.
But this is wrong. There is a concept called victimless crimes, in which whether it involves a victim is debated. An example includes stealing...no direct victims but if you look into it, it eats up the profit of the company, encourages a culture of stealing, and is generally antisocial.
If you look at it that way, which one has more "antisocial" damage? Hookup culture causing 60% young men to be sexless, or stealing in which large corporations are still in businesis? Keep that in mind, unlike stealing, hookup culture has also destroyed the society, culture, and actually harmed MANY people over it, more than worst genocides in history (mainly abortion but also many familiies destroyed).
So, all in all, hook up culture has victims, it is making us harder to get good wives, harder to get a girlfriend.
Also, as a fascist, the idea that sexuality "freedumb" is stupid. Everyone must serve their community and that includes making pro social changes to it; When you give people too much freedom, they get hijacked by malicious forces, and destroy social cohension/unity/identity.

Re: How many of you steal?
also as the rich people, chads and female have unfair work related advantages, which entitles them to higher pay and more promotions.so stealing is justice for happier abroaders like us who don't have life advantage.
Re: How many of you steal?
There is a percentage of Blackrock owned by rich people. But so what? If someone is rich, that doesn't mean it isn't stealing for you to steal their food. But Blackrock and Vaguard control a lot of the stock market, but what they do is offer investment packages to people who work for companies (or government or nonprofits) who then become the little old ladies and old men who collect retirement from these plans. Someone does own it on the other end. Stealing from corporations is not a victimless crime.Pixel--Dude wrote: ↑January 17th, 2024, 10:05 amOf course I don't consider it stealing. I don't think these massive corporate supermarkets are owned by little old retirees who might have shares and earn a pittance from these corporations, they're owned mostly by either bigger corporations like Blackrock or by super rich families who rake in billions in profit.MrMan wrote: ↑January 15th, 2024, 9:49 pmthat doesn't make it any less stealing to steal from them. And Walmart is owned by shareholders. There are people who work and have 401Ks or other retirement plans who get a tiny sliver of Walmart, and when millions of people like yourself steal from their business, they may lose money they would have otherwise gotten. That includes retirees.
What if a mom and pop store incorporates? In the US, a lot of small businesses incorporated as Limited Liability Corporations, where profits flow through directly to personal income tax without being taxed twice. Do you think it is okay to steal from your neighbor's store if they incorporate?
I've spoken with Walmart employees and they pay more than minimum wage in the US. I wouldn't trade jobs with a Walmart employee, but most of them haven't got as much education as I have and couldn't do my job. I know someone who works at Walmart, and Walmart does offer them a chance to get a degree, and he is working on his, online.These supermarkets, like Walmart just as an example, pay their workers minimum wage and make up some bullshit cost of living crisis and blame "people like myself" for rising costs, yet somehow despite a cost of living crisis and dirty tea leafs like me their profits keep getting higher and higher. How are they making so much in profit while everyone else is struggling? Something isn't right.
If you don't like Walmart prices, you can shop elsewhere. They beat a lot of other stores for price by negotiating prices down with suppliers and by using efficient logistics.
They don't own all the world's food. If they own or rent the land and grow food or else they buy or trade for food, they own that food. They sell food. You can buy it if you want. Stealing it is wrong.So what makes all of the world's food Walmarts property? What right do these assholes have to dictate who can afford to eat and who can't.
Why don't we put your face and address up on poster around your neighborhood with a notice that everyone has a universal right to eat at your house.There was nothing wrong with what @kangarunner suggested, you just don't get it because you're a brainwashed NPC and naturalised slave of the system who would rather support corporate profit than a universal right to eat.
I am all for giving food away. But I don't like it when people think they are generous because they want to vote or demand some other entity feed everyone else.
Jesus told the disciples, "You give them something to eat." He didn't say to send the people to the villages and demand the villages cough up food.A Christian thing to do.I guess Jesus should have had two fish sandwiches and told the five thousand to
If Walmart's shareholders vote to give out its food to the poor, that's great. If management does it as part of inventory management, PR, etc., that's fine with me. Otherwise they can also distribute their profits as dividends and shareholders can give to the charities they choose.the right thing to do you said would be to feed the poor, but you don't think a corporate entity that makes billions in profit a year should be held to that moral standard?
That's fine. They want to do that, and they try to do that-- reduce food waste. That's why, right before the meat expires, they spice and cook it and mark up the price."According to a report by The Grocer, supermarkets throw away 100,000 of edible food annually in the UK alone. In fact, it's estimated that the UK's total food waste could feed upwards of 30 million people a year. As a result, supermarkets have a responsibility to reduce food waste as much as possible."

I also heard that about a third of the food in the US is wasted, due to rot, expiring, etc. That includes private homes. A lot of individuals and families have refrigerators and rotate through a large variety of food without making sure to eat their leftovers.
If you are the type to cook and have a full refrigerator, Walmart may be more efficient about decreasing food waste than you are. A lot of people order more food than they can eat, put it in the refrigerator to eat it tomorrow, and forget about the spaghetti they ate for lunch, and that bowl of rice, and even those steak leftovers from two weeks ago.This is what kangarunner was talking about you senile old fool. These cunts are throwing tons of shit away that they could just as easily give to millions of people. These figures are from the UK alone! Imagine how much food waste corporations produce collectively across the entire world. It makes me sick! What's even more sickening is brainwashed wally brained idiots with their tongues stuck up corporate asshole.
Like I said, grocery stores donate food to food banks right before it expires. I've bought this food with the group homes funds and fed it to the children. But if the food expires, are they going to give it away to the poor?
The homeless around where I live seem to be reasonably well-fed. Foodstamps, or now EBT, provides food. The homeless have problems with temperature, bathing, washing clothes. They could also be hungry at times, but there are soup kitchens.
We wouldn't have a modernized world without work, and a less modernized work requires a lot more physical labor just to survive.I don't think people should have to work as slaves to be honest. I think people should be free to enjoy their Iives as much as possible. Work is evil and drains people of their mental and physical health. It's little wonder so many people in the modernised world have so much mental illness and so much disconnect. It's all because of the toxic cult of hard work.
Let's try Kant's approach to ethics. Would you want to live in a world where everyone stole from the store if it was owned by a corporation? Would you want to live in a world where no one worked and everyone went traveling. If you manage to get to the airport (with no gas stations) the pilot doesn't work. There is no one to check you in at the plane and it isn't flying, so you decide to sail to Colombia instead of fly, but no one is working on the boat docks. The farmers do not want to farm and the truck drivers will not deliver. How fun would a world be where everyone has the right to travel, no one works, and everyone steals from corporations?
There are retirees who can get thousands a month out of their retirement plans.I think this would be the equivalent of people buying a millionth of a bitcoin in cryptocurrency. Follow the numbers and all the profit is being funnelled one way and one way only. Right up to the top. Poor old Margaret across the road doesn't even get a sniff.
Paying an extra quarter on 4 dollar a gallon gas hurts less than paying an extra quarter on 2 dollar a gallon gas, in some people's minds. They may make more money when there is scarcity in profit, the oil companies that is. You can still choose not to travel or buy gas/petrol, or choose the cheapest location, or ride a bike, or try to buy an electric car. Oil company profits might look like they are more if all prices go up by 10%. So would their profits.Maybe you should watch a video about how corporations work. They have shareholders. They don't just own themselves.
I don't know if they are 'artificially raising their prices.' That probably happens in some cases. In the US, during Covid, the government invented more money and doled it out when fewer people were working. Our flimsy fiat currency is supposed to be backed up by GDP. Fewer people working and making stuff means our money is worth less, and they were doling more out (digitally), so a little while later, inflation was sure to hit, which it did, and we are still feeling the effects. In the US, the Dollar Tree used to sell everything for a dollar. Inflation went up pretty quick. Instead of filling all of their stores with even cheaper junk from China, now just about everything there is $1.25. Did they artificially raise their prices? Probably not. They probably couldn't afford to buy the same junk and sell it for $1.00, so they had to sell it for $1.25.
If what you said here was true we wouldn't see their profits increasing so drastically. Look at all that shit with the fuel crisis! They were charging a fortune for gas and blamed it on the war in Ukraine. Then when you look at their profit numbers the profits keep on getting higher and higher. So if it was costing them more to produce the same stuff and they had to sell it for a higher cost you would see their profits would stay roughly the same or raise marginally, not as exponentially as they have done. These bastards are robbing us blind!
How many people starve in the economies dominated by large supermarkets? Is starvation a big issue in the UK? We have some hunger in the US. Starving to death? I don't hear about it a lot. Have you looked up what percentage of food is given to foodbanks? You can look it up and tell me if it is a tiny percentage. Do mom and pop stores have less waste and give more to the poor?They give away a very small percentage to food banks. Just enough so they can white wash their way through life and trick gullible fools into believing they're a benevolent entity, when they're not. As for the point about legal liability is this really a reason to allow people to starve? I'm calling horseshit!
If grocery stores gave away food that made people sick, even for free, they can get sued, at least in the US. And there may also be some legal restrictions on giving away expired food.
So do you think Russian communism is the answer, so nearly everyone but the government elite can be fed and have the same poor, crappy lifestyle?The right to eat should be a universal human right.
Re: How many of you steal?
SinceI live in woke, anti-white male cesspool like Cuckstralia, I get revenge by shoplifting against woke cuck corporations like Woolworths, Aldi and Coles, mostly Coles, as they are the wokest of the lot, sponsoring Pride parade and doing faggy "land acknowledgement" for Abbos. Today I shoplifted $21 of snacks from them, so I feel much better, I had to find some way to cope with my shitty life and get revenge on woke scum, this is the only way to do it, and good news is, only woke Karen cunts will ever care if they see you shoplifting, happened to me once, but luckily I managed to avoid the store employees and just leave all my item in the shopping trolley and left the store, and they didn't call the police on me. That is why from now on, I ALWAYS wear a mask while shoplifting, so they have much tougher time identifying me.
Although I am the ONLY person now that wears a mask to the store, but it's better than risking an employee seeing you shoplift and know what your face looks like, these employees see thousands of faces a day anyway, so they don't remember you very well unless you do something to piss them off. One cunt nigger store employee at Aldis asked me to empty my pockets after the old cunt told her I was shoplifting, so I just walked out, and then about 11-12 weeks later I felt safe to go back to Aldis and start shoplifting again, even without a mask and I saw the exact same nigger bitch and she didn't recognise me at all.

Re: How many of you steal?
I encourage EVERY happier abroader to shoplift, providing they can get away with it. If you live in blue state in America, it should be SUPER easy to get away with it. I hear they don't even prosecute any shoplifters in California unless they take $900 worth of stuff.
