mercedo's Journal: Serious Crime, No Punishment

We've got tens of serious crimes out there and it was strange to find that the serious crime pays and less serious crime doesn't pay.

If criminals had a piece of conscience, he would be likely to be caught much more than the cases determined criminals who committed serious crimes with no feeling of regret, remorse, mercy. As a matter of fact, criminals who were caught were much more the ones those who committed it accidentally, with no particular intentions to do it, without convictions to do it, etc. By and large the criminals who were caught are the ones thought to be the offenders of less serious crimes.

The crimals who had a slightest of conscience are likely to be caught and punishable by very strict crimal codes as opposed to the criminals who didn't have the slightest of conscience, who had a full of malicious intent. As long as they are at large, they might be laughing behind the scenes or are they suffering from the pain of conscience for good?

In today's world, where we are enslaved by unscrupulous lawmakers, ruthless businessmen with no regard for human life (See Sego Mine incident in West VA for latest example) and pyschotic religious fanatics ready to kill us all to get their godly words accross (I'm talking about Bush and the Televangelist Sect here, not the Islamics).

WHAT THE FUCK MAKES YOU THINK STEALING FROM THEM IS SUCH A BAD THING?! I applaud ANYONE that takes cash from b

Back in reality, those same people who have been stolen from use theft as a common excuse to charge us more and pay us less. Why is gas here 15 cents more than over there? Drive-offs. Why can't you pay your employees a living wage - too much theft in our stores kill our "low-low profit margins".

So, when Sen Kennedy makes his annual call for a higher minimum wage, he'll be knocked down because of these excuses. You can advocate that the excuses exist - theft or no - but why advocate proving their pos

Oh child, naive you are.

And naive EVERYONE is... did you know that down here in VA, and in MD I think as well, there is a law that states that a gas station CANNOT change prices unless the tanker is there and docked??

Well you should've seen those fuckers, they left the third digit empty at times and kept rising it 2 or 3 cents every half hour.

Drive offs my ass. Ever notice how if they are ALONE with no competition the prices go up?? It isn't drive offs, its trying to make a quota of sales, afterwards, the
