It's still real life money.
When i hack someone on gaia, i sell it for real money most of the time.
So it's still stealing. wether its for game currency or USD, someone's real money went into it somewhere. You have to think more in depth about things like this.

You steal some ones credit card over the internet. It's still a real life situation.

Someone's 'real money' didn't necessarily go into it. Someone can play gaia without spending their real money, it's not mandatory after all. Just because you sell it for real money most of the time, as well as a lot of other people on the site doesn't mean that. You have to think more in depth about things like that and be more open-minded. The situation about stealing a credit card online is very different from stealing something on gaia though.

And yes, I have stolen something, when I was like..6 years old, from the dollar store, lol. I didn't even know what I was doing until my mom yelled at me. Haha. I think I stole a colouring book, I don't know how though..LOL

I guess so. I could be a smartass about it but I'd rather not, I see your point though.

Well. I guarantee you guys have all borrowed a pen from someone and didn't return it! Stealing is a very broad category... As for myself, I guess I steal from users on gaia. I have stolen a piece of candy from those buckets of candy before =P

You like it, so they're doing their job.
You pay to watch movies in a theatre right?
You don't get to keep it, just see it. What's the point?

I don't know if I would call something like that "stealing". That's more like innocent borrowing and forgetting. It's not like you took the pen with the intent to never give it back.

That's so sad.
It shows how low people can and will go just to survive

**Smithno13** · 13 Nov. 2009 08:41pm
