Thou Shalt Not Steal

if eveyone lived their lives using the ten commands as a basic set of rules

I, for one, am going to find it hard to rest on a Sunday, seeing as that's one of only two days a week I get to do anything

[himzol]

Ummmm.... sorry to interupt but you guys have lost me .. again :confused:

Is this a discussion on good verses evil and whether it's inherited or taught,

income tax, interest? All evil and the work of the devil.

or a gripe about tax and the devil in canberra ( aka the taxman)

Fluoridation.

That's what's caused everything.

Before they thought of putting fluoride in our water there was not one record of a DVD player or MP3 player being stolen.

True.

Wer'e all doomed ,and the grim reaper is gonna come down on this thread and burn it.

Evil Giant with Axe will arrive in due course

In the mean time, regardless of your religious beliefs, if ya got 'em or not, if eveyone lived their lives using the ten commands as a basic set of rules the world would be a far better place.

So what if we start teaching a "PC" version of the 10 big ones in Grade 1?, or is it too late then.

P.S. I hate income tax, superannuation and workers comp.

Payroll Tax would have to be one of the biggest dis-incentives to employment I've ever come across.

had to phone the ATO last week having decided that I needed a couple of their publications in order to complete my tax return.

nice man in their publications office said "doesn't exist" to the first two that I asked for but confirmed that

a) they were both mentioned in the tax pack on the pages I said and
b) they were on the ATO site under the NAT numbers I'd given and
c) in both places it did say contact his department to get hard copies ( especially the one that's 135 pages long)

but no he couldn't send me any because HIS computer system said the documents didn't exist.

I wonder if the tax man will wear me saying well I didn't fill in that section because I couldn't get hold of the documents to tell me what to put there!!!

....I must admit that a thief with a hand cut off is pretty drastic but then again can we afford to be ever increasingly considerate of criminals who dont give a damn about their victims. The courts seem to have forgotten that the punishment should fit the crime.

Damn right! And as for those adulterers.....

Wer'e all doomed ,and the grim reaper is gonna come down on this thread and burn it. Why?

In the mean time, regardless of your religious beliefs, if ya got 'em or not, if eveyone lived their lives using the ten commands as a basic set of rules the world would be a far better place. I Agree

Same here.
The biggest problem I think is that a lot of people have lost respect for themselves hence no respect for others or their property.

I always try to treat people the way I would expect to be treated.

What if hypothetically I offered a ***** for free to someone on the bulletin board, and if they felt appropriatepay the $10.00 postage, (which they agreed to) and they kept the plane and did not pay the postage.
Would this be stealing?
Or is this just unfortunate.

Please disregard my last post, it is all in the past. Forgotton until this topic came up, anyway, sometimes it is easier to give with little or no expectation from the other person, not always right ...........but easier.

So this thread has a topic does it?

[bitingmidge]

So this thread has a topic does it?

I didn't think it did, which explains why it has been so damned hard to throw it off in another direction!

So Tomartom, you have been the victim of a plane hijacking it would seem, and lived to tell the tale!

Is hijacking a thread any different?

Personally I think that we should build a big motel and the bad buggers should all be made to live in it together, and not allowed out until they can recite the ten commandments.

Backwards.

Poor , its just that I though Religion was a no no, and looking carefuylly we came close once or twice. Anyhow I like your philosophy, I try to do the same, must admit I stuff up pretty often.

Grandpa was a lifetime Rotarian. I always remember after he died (I was 11) Dad put his badge up on the shadow board in the shed and next to it a sign. It said:

"Do It Once, Do it Well, Build a Better Australia"

Never forgotten that and I aint a rotarian. Seems it was good enough for the old boy....just something I thought of.

I do not feel that I "highjacked a thread, I however do or should I say did recognise that the comments were inappropriate and not in the 'spirit of this forum' and immediately asked, my previous comments to be retracted.
Hardly do I feel that I hijacked a thread, I have (if you choose to look at previous posts) been a supportive, long term contributer to these forums and certainly appreciated the dialogue in return.


kind regards
