    This was 5 years ago. It cost about 2pounds sterling. But it was literally a pinch. Enough for one dish, maybe two if I diluted it in white wine.

    Fuck yeah! We used to steal hella shit from the student store back when I was in the 12th grade. The greatest thing was stealing chasers for the alchy my friend would steal from Albertsons in the morning. It was a weekly thing. Orange juice and Grey Goose with a Chimichanga. Nothing better :)

    i've only been homeless for slightly more than one week; and then i was still able to scrounge up enough money for a dollar menu... after that i got a shitty job and was still able to support myself and my drug addict piece of shit roommate until i finally kicked him out, while actually saving money and not stealing food (a ridiculous amount of ramen was eaten that summer though)



    i don't think stealing food is wrong if necessary to survive... but i also can't see being in that position for an extended period through anyone's fault but your own

    Heh, something like that. Disagreements about chives.

    Not the person who I had the chive argument trying to shoot me. It just enraged him so.

    yeah..I only remember it because it is the most expensive in the spice aisle..it is just a little bit to.

    I walke/ hitch hiked from Florida to California when I was 15 and bounced from place to place till I went in the Army when I was 17. Lots of shoplifiting and garage raids for food during those years.

    I don't thinking stealing anything is wrong

    especially not fucking food.. it makes me SICK how much food is thrown out of supermarkets because it supposedely "expired" (but it doesn't actually go bad until well after the sell-by date, I know, I've tested it) but they just throw it out, when hundreds of people starve outside.. I can't deal with supermarkets.. ALL this fucking food.. who is gonna buy all this fucking food??

    No, but that's because my friends and I take care of each other.

    I can't stand to see people go hungry.. just knowing there's so much food. Just like.. all these people living in huge houses with.. 10 bedrooms.. and they only use like 3..

    Yeah, like I said, if it wasn't for friends, I could have been homeless for a long time. I wasn't really prepared to take care of myself at 16.

    I'm going to drink tonight and call up some people. :)

    I like your passion of the subject matter! You inspire me to rob Save Mart next time I go! I owe them one anyway, bastards.

    Perhaps anyone who has over $10 million should have a quarter of their wealth docked and redistributed into healthcare, education, and other social services to improve communities.
