No, you miss the point. By judging other people you set yourself up as superior to them, which is the very thing you complain about in other people. The better approach, in my experience, isn't to try not to put other people down.
In my eyes it is stealing.

When we talk about stealing we tend to think of immediate theft of items. This kind of thieving usually involves us 'plebeians'. Such cases as drug addicts shoplifting to fund their habits,children nicking pick'n'mix,those on JSA 'fiddling' their benefits etc etc,but what about those who have such vast amounts of wealth who don't need to steal because of their wealth, or because they get things given to them they could easily afford. Why for example doesn't this man

stick his hand in his pocket and pay for something himself instead of the taxpayer footing the bill? This to me is legalised theft!

Exactly. Consider it as reparations.

Fair comment, I think we all judge people though, I just do it/admit to it openly. Believe me, I'm not trying to make out I'm in anyway perfect. I am very aware that the way my bluntness and sarcasm can come across can be Un nice, and I'm sure it has upset may people and lost me some friends in the past. Believe it or not I used to be sarcastic to the point of nastiness and there was a remark said to everyone's comment - years ago I made ago conscious decision to stop, and have for the most part.. ( I'm talking in "real life")
I have also smoked drugs for many years of my adult life ( gave up overnight off my own back 4 years ago) and have broken many laws, though I do not have a criminal record.
I am very opinionated and in no way believe I am better than others (other than cases where most would do)
I have stolen small things in the past, but I never once broke a law in order to fuel my smoking habits, and never moved on to any sort of harder drugs.
Anyway, this threads not about me, so I apologise again - I'm just saying to take my words in context to anyone who doesn't agree with them, I understand my words are not the law.

Lol.
What makes ,every laugh is the fact we used Australia as a penal colony, but nowadays it's one of the hardest places to try to emigrate to. And one of the most sought after destinations.

So sought after that 7 out of 10 immigrants have buggered off again within a decade.
