I can only read what you type. How was that an obvious typo, you've posted some quite mental things in this thread so far, including smuggling your girlfriend into cinemas and posing as a child to save a dollar.

How am I meant to know that you weren't continuing the trend.


As for the filesharing comparison: :lol:

---

Ahh the difference between should and shouldn't. Gotcha.

As for the filesharing comparision: :lol: indeed.

Playing dumb on two fronts. Good, good.

I'm still loving this upstanding moral high ground you take.

In retrospect, I should have given it to someone else when I was finished with it.

It would be so much more respectful to her if you pretended she was a child to save a couple of bucks.

Feck two or three films worth and she could get a new bin.

Yeah that's stupid. You also buying a DVD for her to watch or even paying for rental. I take it she listens to music too. WTF is up with you buying that lastest CD she wanted. I'm sure TechSmith appreciates you buying Snag-It.

Fucking thumbass.:lol: :lol:

:P

Maybe I could loft her upon my shoulders and drape a rather large overcoat over the pair of us thus concealing my presence, then she could get us both into the cinema and only pay for one person. Feck, that would save me five pounds. Well worth it.

What a genius scam. You think Bell boy and Bus Girl have tried this.

You could pretend to be the World's tallest Doctor. You would probably get in free.

Nah. Just walk in the next theater door. Oh if a friend works there and he'll get you in free, stop at the box-office 1st and pay. Ya can't go around NOT paying for shit.

You know that time I was dating a cop she got us in the movies free. I should have made a citizen's arrest.

In your world, I'm sure stealing a Microwave is exactly the same as downloading a movie.

However, in the real world, the place I live, the two practices are entirely different. For example, one is directly taking money out of someone's pockets and the other is nothing of the sort, it's watching a film or listening to a CD that otherwise, I'd never have bothered with.

See.

....and enabling everyone to do the same. Nice goin.

I'm still loving the way in which you justify your stealing. A fucking thiefocrite is what you are, fucking hypocrite.

I wouldn't have bothered with a second microwave until the thing scanned with my vaild receipt and the fella loaded it on. I wouldn't have bothered paying to see Aeon Flux either.

That's exactly what I said :blink:

In your world the two things are congruent. I'm sure you'll allow me to make the distinction between theft of property and downloading a film.

Cheers for that.


By the way, my main cause of mirth is not about the stealing thing, it's the lengths you go to in order to save a couple of quid. To me, I'd never even entertain the thought of sneaking my missus into a cinema or buying her a child's ticket.

It's pretty demeaning and very childish.

Mind, that's only in my world - I'm completely sure that it's fine in bizzaro Busboyland.

I bet they just show babe all the time at your lurcal cinema manker, cause of teh hardcore sheepage:naughty:

Do you dodge the bus fare, or just say your missus is under 14.

Well in my world I don't fanny about saying stealing isn't just to have a go at someone else. You take movies, music, and software without payment to the maker.

Then you say I go through lengths to save a couple quid when actually it's just the opposite.

1. Click 'child ticket'.

2. Walk in cinema.

Damn, I sure put myself out.:ermm:

I banged a chick in her stairwell once. Why'd I do that when I could've banged her in her bed?

Damn I remember some other shit...

I get $30 subway farecards for $15 in blocks of 25 from a friend of mine. Sometimes the subway kiosk guy lets me through free.

According to thumbass I should pay full fare and refuse the half-price or free ride.

This is great.

I'm trying to point out the difference with my world and your world.

In my world, had I stolen a microwave for my Mam, she would have dragged me back to the store by my ear, and made me return the 'gift'. In my world, if I suggest to my girlfriend that we sneak into a cinema without paying, she would not be impressed, would definitely ask if I'd gone mental and almost certainly offer to pay herself rather than have me demean her in that way.

In your world, these things are perfectly fine.


I have no problem with that. I'll do my thing, you can do yours. It's likely a cultural thing and as such outside of my judgmental jurisdiction.

Yeah my mom didn't make a stink 'cause of how I got it. If had told her that I ran out of the store after snatching from off the shelf she wouldn't have wanted it. Since I used a valid receipt scanned into their automated customer pick-up, there was no problem.

For instance, a fella I play basketball with told me he can get Xbox's. I said cool get me one.

When I go up to the store, while in my car, he walks up and says for me to go in and buy something small, and the cashier that he knows will put the Xbox in my bag, and I just walk out. I told him FUCK NO I ain't doin' that. He went and got it and I payed him for it another day.

Hook-ups and hot merchandise are a dime-a-dozen.

As far as movie hopping that's done as a goof and not with hiding. There are super theater that just don't check tickets after your in and they definitely don't check adult/child. You walk out to get popcorn and walk back in. You walk out one theater and can walk right in another.

I can't imagine that on a date with the cop female that I'd have said to her, "We need to pay for our tickets."

I also can't imagine refusing half-price farecards.

As far as pointing out some cultural difference, that's not what you were doing. It amounted to "your stealing is despicable and mine is ok" (although they are both stealing). "Let's fuck with him".

Everyone has their limit as to what deemed ok like I wouldn't take something off a store shelf but would buy hot merchandise.

It's still wrong though and I can't be a hypocrite and say it's quite alright and there is nothing wrong.

Breach of copyright is not stealing here. Stealing is a criminal offence, breach of copyright is a civil matter.

Maybe our laws are just more civilized.

"When I go up to the store, while in my car, he walks up and says for me to go in and buy something small, and the cashier that he knows will put the Xbox in my bag, and I just walk out. I told him FUCK NO I ain't doin' that. He went and got it and I payed him for it another day."

Could anything be more ironic.

If you are in London and you want to go to the cinema in Edinburgh, it will cost you £225.50.

This is only because they've put the train fares up like 9% or something.
