When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

I've done a few tests, they don't tend to put me in that group. Never harmed any animals for example, always been tender to them instead. Tender to people weaker than me too.

People tend to forget that 'disorders' such as sociopath aren't black and white. They're spectrum disorders just like autism are. You have one extreme on one end of the scale, with the other extreme on the other end, and most people falling in the middle.

I'm absolutely confident that you fall towards the sociopathic extreme of the scale, away of the common average. Does that mean that you are sociopath 'enough' to be clinically diagnosed as one? Perhaps, perhaps not. Does that mean that you are as purely sociopathic as a person could possible be? Nope, probably not. Very very very few people would be.
However, that doesn't change the fact that, based on the short account you've given in your opening post, and the nature of your subsequent reactions to other people's responses, you're fairly clearly on the sociopathic end of the scale.

Since I've lurked here I've always admired and respected your opinion but I will not discuss this further in public. So if you would be kind enough to indulge me privately in one way or an other I'd be thankful.

Yep. It's called being an adrenaline junkie.

You're getting your thrill from the rush. The boasting of "you've never been caught just adds to it.

It's more likely intellectual pretensions than thrill seeking, from the terms used in the OP: "Oh, I can get away with doing this because I'm so much smarter than the scum who are working there on minimum wage. That nobody's ever caught me proves it."

(Which does make it pretty funny that the OP hasn't thought of your other point, I suppose.)

Why don't you go to your local Wal-Mart and tell the cashier she makes less so you can have your fun?

Not to mention, people get fired when people steal and aren't caught by the employees.

I agree. I wonder if she would get the same thrill if she realized that minimum wage employees probably just don't care if she steals.

They are both being harmed but since I will take the coins I save there to a company that potentially treats its workers better I am tilting the balance ever so slightly in favour of small town mercantilism over corporate capitalism.
Not that I care. I just know I can keep doing it without feeling guilty about it. Meaning I am not doing it to do good, I just can keep doing without feeling I am doing anything bad.

But you're happy with your opinion of me because that enables you to stay ignorant of facts that would make you uncomfortable. Making you a fool and I'd much rather be an idiot than a fool for one is an affliction of low intelligence and an other the choice of someone with weak a character.

Thank you. That's exactly the sort of snotty condescension that makes me suspect your taste for shoplifting is all about a false sense of elitism. You're not doing anything to disprove that one, I'm afraid.
