Have you ever entertained thoughts of being a criminal?

These might be intrusive thoughts but i could see why it would look fun. Movies make it feel like an adrenaline rush though i doubt in reality its the same

I fantasised about becoming a vagabond when I was a small kid. And taking my little brothers with me to care for ourselves. And roam the streets. Don’t think it would have been as free and fun a life I dreamt it was. :slight_smile:

(Also, police would have brought us right back).

I might have bended the rules a few times, but I haven’t really stole since one time I was in 2nd grade. And then it was like pressure stealing. I was with three other kids that urged me to steal. Took a pack of gum. Didn’t like it. Then we kind of got caught by the manager and I returned the gum. The other kids didn’t hand in their stuff claiming innocence. And that was the end of my criminal career. :relieved:

I hated the feeling of stealing. It’s just wrong to take something that isn’t yours. Unless it’s desperation, like you have to steal food to survive or something.

Ive done a couple of years in total. But trust me - they deserved it.

Some people simply need a slap to adjust their behaviour. And i am a very moral person.

Wherever you walk in life - your gonna come across a scumbag - and in the past ive dished it out.

And i would do it again.

when I was 17, I raided my rich aunt’s boyfriend’s coke stash before I left on a plane he took me himself…I had it in my crotch and no one suspected…no trouble for it either…all my aunt said, was “Ken, get off the phone !!” when she called to see that I made the flight.

@broken Just because it’s “standard procedure” doesn’t make it hurt any less. That’s like saying war is standard procedure. I still think it’s time to stop yanking them out of throats and finding an antibiotic for the tonsils that get infected.

i dont think antibiotics woudl be a good idea cause usually they remove those because they keep swelling up. they would have to give antibiotics over and over for life. and antibiotics are really bad for you body to keep taking and they also cause resistance

I have helped my wife plan crimes, but for unpublished crime stories she has written.

I’ve thought of that before, in my less lucid moments. I would never try to earn my living like that, though.

I stole with a friend from the grocery store once. When I was a kid. I guess that’s the most criminal thing I’ve done. I’ve imagined how it must be to be part of some criminal group, that it must give you some sort of kick, but I would never do it.

I have always been a pilferer. Mostly cannabis. I could never manage my impulse control.

But in all seriousness what is crime? A lot of crime, like drug dealing, could be decriminalized.

I think we will always penalize murder but will get over the dick wolf fetishization of condemnation and retribution.

Rehabilitation is the key

Last night I went to the hardware store.

I had to go through self checkout.

There was a ton of crap in my basket and when I got to my car to unload everything,

I realized I hadn’t paid for one item.

On any other day,

I would have gone back and paid for it.

But it was under $10 and I’m moving.

■■■■ it.

Cold hearted criminal.

In the summer I went into an ice cream parlor picked up a feast and then joined a long queue to pay but sneakaly walked off without paying.

When I was a kid yes, I wanted to genuinely murder my abusers. Took me a few years to grow out of it. I was hatching torture plans and everything.

These days no, Im such a bad liar the police would find me out in an instant. I’ve never even stolen so much as a candy bar from a store. So murder is not on my mind anymore.

I can’t believe you felt murderous intent. So sorry! That must be traumatic

I’ve never entertained the thought of me living a life of crime. I have watched crime shows though looking into the behaviour and psychology of criminals. I find that quite interesting. It can make me paranoid though so I don’t watch it often.
