If there's an alternative (e.g. working in McDonald), it probably would be a better choice than stealing.

I want from every memder to vote

[angel]

why no bodey have vote

[Bomadeno]

Not everybody will ahve found it yet, in time they will vote.

I voted no, its not the best option, seeing as its moraly wrong. In hindsight I may pick 'maybe' because sometimes it may be right (e.g. to live)

Although, saying that, if you steal once and it works, you'll be less motivated to become unpoor, because you know you can steal again. Tricky one. Some people have no choice - tub do they _really_ have no choice?

[angel]

you are completely right< but think of stealing as a step of getting money

[Math_nerd]

It is a step of getting someone else's money. in exchange for nothing. I most cecustances, money is traded for something. Sometimes, beggers for example, get money to make others feal good about themselves. But stealing is taking without any compensation.

[Bomadeno]

Despite this, the talent of a thief is a skill... technically speaking, they have to work to steal it. I disagree with stealing, and am merely playing devil's advocate, but you cna be a 'good thief' or a 'bad thief' and it affects your 'pay' - much like any other job.

Angel,
Stealing is no really an option. I live in a poor family my parental unit makes mininum wage which for a family of 4 isn't that much to live on. If one of us stole the we would have to deal with the authorities. Which means the money my parental unit makes would have to go to court costs, restitution and probation officers and not to us.
But we get by,we barter( we trade work for services) and we are helped by our friends. But we are lucky because us kids eat at school, while my parental units don't eat some meals. Plus there is always top ramen -yuck!! but it does fill an empty stomach.I do alot of babysitting and I help with what bills I can.Last summer I babysat and saved my money so I could get one new outfit of clothes for my siblings and I to start school.Plus my next door neighbor is always bring us clothes and food that she salvages from somewhere. Mum is too scared to ask-I think a dumpster is involved.

Some folks might say it's all well and good if "the poors" steal from someone else, some big corporation, but wouldn't they kick up a fuss if such a person broke into THEIR home and stole something from them?

There is always work available, even if some of it isn't so glamorous. Nobody "needs" to steal from others in order to survive.
