Kleptomania is the inability to refrain from the urge to steal items for reasons other than personal use or financial gain.

Don't see how you guys don't understand that.

Wow...let's just split hairs?!!?

My post was about the poor stealing vs those rich.

Are many rich folks getting away with kleptomania as a whole (percentage-wise).

Are you poor and defending your kind?

My post was in response to Linux23 using the word klepto in response to your post, which was an erroneous use of the word, you subsequently slipped into using that word in response to him, also erroneous. Not splitting hairs, just preserving language.

Dunno how to respond to the last part of what you said.

Of course there is. Were the people ransacking grocery stores for food and diapers when there was 4 feet of water everywhere in New Orleans not stealing out of necessity? I will admit the people looting the BestBuy are just lazy pieces of garbage, but those that had needs and were stealing it aren't really bad people.

A person suffer from kleptomania doesn't steal for any need other than because they have a compulsion to. The same way people with other disorders have the compulsion to have sex, regardless of pleasure derived or not derived from it; people who have the compulsion to wash their hands every 30 seconds; and people who have the compulsion to lie.

It has nothing to do with economic status.

They looted because they were too lazy to get a job and pay for it, not out of need. Duh.

He's just trolling and wanted to see me boil. You DON'T want to see me boil over. Trust me. Bad for all involved.

Interesting.

Straight Tito's, occasionally chilled, but usually neat, is our go-to drink at home (wife likes the low calories).

I don't notice the finish you describe. Looks like further research is in order. :sneaky:

I'll give it another try this weekend and see if my taste buds were off. My allergies have been bothering me this month so who knows. My wife also tried it and she wasn't a huge fan of it straight but said it works for a mixed drink.

The problem is you think I am trolling, I am just answering pretty honestly.

However; you mad bro?

You sound mad.

Are you a kleptomanic robbing your boyfriend's stuff?
 
Get a room. Obviously there's a difference between being a thief and kleptomania. Holy crap you guys are ridiculous.

When you have person claiming all poor people are thieves and another claiming rich people can be kleptos, which is then countered by the first person saying "nuh uh!", both incorrectly using kleptomania AND then, yet another, trying to imply you can't steal out of need, what do you expect?
