will hook up my hidden wire and see what happens. Thank you all once
again, I love these groups for all the knowledge everyone has on such a
variety of topics. I could, however, do without the moral questions of
if I'm stealing or not.
At first, you might have been able to pled ignorance as to how you are
getting cable TV service. But now, after reading the above, it is clear
that you're a thief, plain and simple. Better hope you don't get caught.
I, for one, welcome the moral discussions here. This isn't a cable theft
group.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone saying "I won't help you do
something unethical, immoral or illegal." We all are volunteering our
knowledge, and that means we're allowed to do so based on our moral
compasses, and to indicate our opinion as well. No poster has a right to
insist that I freely give away my knowledge.
Jesse, we can't change the fact that you have been steeling cable service up
until now. As Gary pointed out, you might have been able to pleed ignorance,
and my moral compass allows me to help you correct your mistake. (Although
your original post seem to indicate that you weren't ignorant.) I have no
problem with letting the past be the past, and if you're willing to become a
paying customer *before* the cable company catches you, they generally will
allow the past to be the past.
But now I really have to question your character. Not only do you no longer
seem repentant for your crime (and yes, it is a crime, not just a tort), you
are so lacking in character that you're announcing that you plan to do it
again! Not only do you lack character, you're an idiot.
I supose I shouldn't complain. Law enforcement would have an easier time if
all criminals announced that they have committed a crime, and are planning
on committing the crime again in the near future.
So don't get on a high horse about how calling a thief a thief is something
you can do without, and how everyone should help you in your criminal
endevors. Your position does not have the moral high ground. You're just a
common thief no different than a shoplifter or pickpocket. If that doesn't
bother you, then I feel very sorry for you because even if you don't get
caught by law enforcement, you will get caught by Karma. And Karma can be a
bitch.
