1. Someone spends a week working and gets his paycheck. If there were absolutely no consequences and nobody would ever know you stole it, would you?
2. Some guy is in a relationship with the girl you really like. Their relationship is a very happy one, for both of them. If you were able to, and nobody would ever knew you did it, would you ruin their relationship and take her for yourself? (In this hypothetical situation, she would go to you if her relationship with him were to end. Also, just switch those genders around if you're a girl or gay.)
3. Someone you don't know spends a week playing a game that you also play, and he gets the best weapon or armor in the game. If you had the opportunity to steal it, would you?
4. Someone spends an entire day working on a personal project, such as piecing together a large Lego set. If nobody would ever know you did it, would you destroy it just for the fun of it?
5. Someone finds something that any other person would consider unimportant, but he has taken a liking to it. For example, a pinecone. He found it and now keeps it in his room because he likes it. Would you take it and throw it away for the fun of it?

[quote]1. Someone spends a week working and gets his paycheck. If there were absolutely no consequences and nobody would ever know you stole it, would you? [/quote] Depends on the person. Couldn't steal from an individual supporting their families or trying to get their life together. If it belonged to some manager with a healthy coke habit and the tendency to put you on double shifts for a month straight then I'd be tempted. [quote] 2.

[/quote] No. I'm a toxic individual by nature and if I truly did care for their well being, I'd stay as far away from them as possible. [quote] 3.

[/quote] I would hold it hostage for twenty bucks. [quote] 4. Someone spends an entire day working on a personal project, such as piecing together a large Lego set. If nobody would ever know you did it, would you destroy it just for the fun of it? [/quote] I've killed men for lesser crimes. [quote] 5.

Would you take it and throw it away for the fun of it? [/quote] Certainly not for fun, but if it grew into a hoarding problem I'd definitely take steps toward an intervention.
