law abiding citizens

[goldenfinger]

So how can claim to be a pure law abiding citizen, NEVER broken any law, no speeding just over the limits, a little drunk driving, nicked something here and there when young, sexual conduct against the law, oral and anal sex is against the law in some states in the US, and other places.
So I'll start with myself, I am not one, but I have no record of not being one.
I'll guess I wont get too many PURE law abiding citizens coming forward here :bigrin:.
I have no stones to throw.

This is not a phrase that I would use as it reminds me of politicians or someone wanting to be in an elected office...lol

I believe that we may only reference the present when thinking about whether we ourselves are law abiding. If you stole a candy as a kid but not out breaking major laws, then feel welcome to consider yourself law abiding. There are those of us who perceive this as degrees of law abiding citizens. Generally, most in society would be considered law abiding citizens to within a degree or two of that term. Otherwise, the jails would be full.

I fully agree with that, Tenni. I have no memory of taking candy from a store but apparently I used to help myself to my grandma's Circus Peanuts quite regulary. I did, however, have the embarrassing pleasure of taking my son back into a grocery store and having him return the pack of mentos he had taken. He has never done it again, thank goodness.

I speed, that's my main illegal act. I remember once going to Onondaga State Park down a long straight stretch of Missouri highway doing 100 before I knew it in a Toyoto Land Rover. They had to upgrade me on the rental cause the seatbelt was malfunctioning in the nice midsize I had rented. I'm just very lucky that I have a sixth sense for cops and always manage to slow down to acceptable speeding speeds before passing a speed trap.

But at the moment I might get picked up and go to jail thanks to my darling little meth addicted brother that stole checks I thought I'd thrown away before I went to NZ. The account was closed for more than a year and I recieved no notice from a bank on bounced checks because of it. Instead I get a nice letter from the Sheriff's office saying someone has sworn out a theft by deception warrant. I call the place and find out yes it was brother, they knew him. I said I don't even know where you are located let alone have I ever visited and can you explain to me why I was 9k miles away when the check was written? I had to go the State Police after getting a couple lovely things from Telechek regarding checks to Home Depot for a total of over $1800. I filed forgery charges but not much anyone can do. He is currently in jail for a multitude of offenses and has been passed around to three counties already for different charges in each different county. So while I protected my ass, I hung his out to dry. But it was that or me be responsible for checks I didn't write. There is still a warrant outstanding I think on the theft by deception because the County Attorney's office needs a police report, the police need the County Attorney to file charges against my brother. So it's at an empasse right now, I just dread a knock on the door and police being there.

How awful about the cheque stealing. Family...:(

I think that as kids we do sometimes not understand property barriers at certain ages and then later it may be testing the boundaries. You did a good thing with your son in my opinion. As a kid in grade 4 I knew that stealing from a store was bad and I certainly didn't want to get caught.(my parents would not like it) When I was in grade 4, I stole money from my mother's kitchen stash though. She kept small change there to buy things at the corner store. I (blush) had a crush on my grade 4 woman teacher. We were doing a project that involved cellulose tape. She made an innocent statement one day that the class wouldn't have any more tape. Each day for a couple of days, I brought in tape that I bought with money stolen from my mother's kitchen money. Finally, the teacher told me not to bring in any more tape..after thanking me the first day and second day...:rolleyes: I somehow thought it was more important to "impress" my grade 4 teacher than see taking money from my house as stealing. My mother never figured it out...or so I thought. Years later in my 20's I confessed to her...lol I knew that it was wrong somewhere deep inside me. That and Catholic guilt will get you...eventually..lol
