Crime and Punishment


Posts: 977

This is the situation: You have to steal food from a store because you are starving and will die if you don't eat food.  You know you can probably get away with it but there is always the chance you might get caught because nobody is perfect.

If you get caught in Store A, the owner will call the police and you'll spend 6 months in jail.

If you get caught in Store B, the owner won't call the police, but will beat the fuck out of you then let you go home.

 

Which store do you pick and why?

well, if you're so poor you need to steal in order to eat, jail for 6 months would make much more sense... they feed you daily.

ok imagine you are only temporarily starving and you'll be fine tomorrow, you just have to eat right then or you will die.

Which store would you pick in that case?

There is just too many variables involved for each question. But if its down to a straight, get beaten up or jail. It would have to be jail because if I was beaten up, I wouldnt rest until I exterminated the wanker who did it, so I would no doubt end up in jail anyway. The quicker route would be to be jailed in the first place.

 Option B.

If he or she tries to fight me, I'll fight back and still get to go home afterwards.

neither option
smile, be humble, use your charm to talk the owners up. Never ask for food. Make them want to give you some.

That is not an option.

I am trying to determine the purpose of laws.  In this scenario you have to break one.
