sorry man .... they probably took it over the road to Boss Man ... I would be kicking myself if I had lost that ammount , so sympathy to you

So many to reply to! Where do I start?! I'll reply to multiple people in this one post.

Firstly, Fuck you pretentious faggot #1. I have a different opinion to you, and you don't like it. Boo-hoo, grow the hell up. If someone saw me pick up a wallet and begin looking through it, chances are they'd do nothing, because that's the moral fibre of the general public. You're quick to throw your point of view in when hid behind a monitor, but you'd be less likely to act on it IRL.


Let me put it this way. Say you're walking down the street and see a nice shiny pound lying there on the floor. You'd pick it up and say "Ooh, a shiny pound, how lucky am I?" despite the fact that pound doesn't belong to you, and using your own definition; you're stealing. Now you're probably going to assume the position of "Yes, but a pound is completely different to ?100" but the simple fact is it isn't. In order for you to cling precariously to those morals, you'd have to turn in that pound, wouldn't you?


If I see money hanging out of an ATM, I'm going to take it because someone else will if I don't. If I see a wallet, I'll take the cash as a finders fee, and hand in the empty wallet. If I see cash on the ground, it's mine. You may not approve of my morals, but at least I'm honest about them, and don't attempt to pass myself off as a self righteous bastard.


So the question is: When does "Luck" become "Greed"?

mmmm...


some people on the EDF were far too cool to be worried about the common man's petty obsessions with MPs expenses - but Starmix is beyond the pail for being honest about taking advantage of someones misfortune...(or if not honest at least taking a contrary position)


*Goes away scratching head once again*

I saw it too, it was puerile, homophobic and totally beyond the pale.


Quids, you've seen a whole raft of points of view expressed on the forum before, do you really think a message would be removed for saying you should take the money from a cashpoint? If so, how come all the previous posts remained?

I called a member a pretentious faggot after he/she began flaming based on assumptions. I was right about the pretentious part, but I apologise if the word offended anyone. I suppose you could just wordfilter that out and this problem would never occur again.


HOWEVER.


After I'd dealt with that insipid member, I continued to go on with the topic of the thread, in specific saying that if you found a small amount of currency (a pound, 50p I forget what) it would still constitute as stealing, however your conscious would register it as yourself just coming into a bit of "Luck". I then went on to pose the question: When does "Luck" become "Greed"? In which I meant how much do you have to find before you consider turning it in?

Personally I see no issue with taking a finders fee from a wallet, (In the position of victim I'd be happy to have my wallet back, regardless of the loss of cash) or taking money from an ATM that the user has been too stupid to take for themselves. (In the same position, I'd curse myself for being such a damn idiot, and then get on with life)


[sarcasm]Brendon, I apologise if my grammar and spelling has made your visit to this thread unpleasant. Please, PM me any wikipedia or online dictionary articles you think would aid me in my eternal quest for perfect literacy.[/sarcasm]

I'm counting at least two chips on your shoulder here.

I'd take a deep breath and try and engage in a slightly less confrontation

manner.


On your plus side, a thief you maybe but at least you're an honest thief and your steering clear of pejorative terms like your agesake ;)

    • I’d just like local family businesses to not be shut down by big chains, and I think we should support local businesses and our community. I’m sure they are very nice people who pay their taxes too.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets.
