Sociopath Community

Economic problems at first, then it becomes habit.

It depends on the society the criminal is living in. I would say that most criminals here in Australia commit crime for three reasons: 

boredom, greed and/or to feed a drug habit.

Is society to blame for that? No, I personally don't think so.

The idea that people commit crimes because they are bored enrages me. 

I came up in a bad area where I watched genuinely good people resort to crime to get by. One of my closest friends was forced to sell drugs to help pay bills because his mother was disabled. No one wants to be in that position. He was arrested but luckily we weren't adults at the time. There are people that steal and rob to survive and the fact that someone does the same thing because they are bored is sickening. 

I pity those individuals who choose crime as a recreational activity.

The idea that people commit crimes because they are bored enrages me. 

Why?

Do you think committing crime is wrong unless it's for survival reasons only?

If they're not stealing from you, why does it matter to you what their motive is?

Coming from a bad area, trust me you don't want to be there. As much as you think you'd like to be, can't you find something more productive to do?

That doesn't answer my question.

I too have lived in areas that have a fairly high crime rate. I'm not sure what any of that has to do with why you're so against other people committing crime out of boredom.

Were you stolen from in the past. Is that why it enrages you?

The ghettos of Australia are nothing compared to those in America.

I've had things stolen from me, yes. It isn't the reason I'm angry though. My anger stems from the ignorance of those who commit crimes of their own free will, because if those individuals were put into a situation or scenario where they had to break the law just to put bread on the table it wouldn't be so fun anymore. 

Most of your people who choose crime as a recreational activity do so because the haven't experienced any form of hardship or endeavor. They don't understand how poverty works. Ask someone who is actually in the struggle, they would kill for the chance of a average life.

Well if I stole some gum, I don't think hordes of innocent people should be blamed for that even if gum stealing was glorified in the media. So.. individual.
