PCB and 'resist ink pen' induced nausea

[Somicide]

again, i intend no offense, but i do my best to work within the law, but i am the poor in my community.  all my stuff is scavanged, so when i mangae to have money, i buy what i need.  I don't steal from people, i rarely steal at all.  this is the first incident of mine since about 7th grade; i really don't know what possessed me to do it.  I feel no remorse, but i don't feel a whole lot.  I'm sorry if I've offended you, I'll leave this forum if it so bothers everyone.

Somicide,

I don't want you to leave.

Maybe if you did and you got some remorse it would be a good growth experience for you, but I feel that you can experience that growth in any number of ways and you can gain much more from this place in a purely constructive context.

I'm not going to say much other than that I hope that is your last experience with sticky fingers.

I've lead a rags to riches to rags life so I know what it's like to make a couple hundred an hour as a consultant, and I know what loosing everything I had including my home, possessions, money, and then starving for several days with zero food is like. NO matter how much cash you have, integrity is priceless and you're the only one who can take it from yourself.

I would suggest a little study of Karma, or the energy of actions. The Tibetans say that the energy you put out comes back to you three times as potently. Don't think about karma as good or bad, but rather as harmonious and disharmonious energy. If you generate harmonious energy, it WILL come back to you in a harmonious way.

If you're that poor and hard up for some transistors, PM me with your address and I'll throw a few into an envelope for you. Generate harmony and it will come back to you.

In closing.... some words from a guy named John:

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah


Take care,
-Peter

Just to put stuff in perspective, I see some guy at Enron got the company to 'loan' $5 MILLION for a ring for his wife! Now THAT is stealing.
Alternative take: let the person who never took a pen home from work cast the first stone.

thanks, I do feel a little remorse, though it feels a bit forced, its really more of a shame...  
but i won't ask for any components, though the offer is appreciated.
