Do You Think Shortage Of Money Can Convert One Criminal ?

I would probably steal if I was very hungry. Who knows? But I would not kill. And I would not resort to crime for greed. Corruption is more about greed than about hunger. Rich people are worse than small thiefs.

Worst comes to worst maybe i would beg for food and if no body give me food, they have not to blame but i will steal food from those who are not worth to have millions because if greedeness. But i know for sure there's a lot alternative things to prevent stealing. I will go to the mountains and pick some root crops for eating.

Yes, you are very correct and you have given here the reason also. The criminals are generated either for money or if money is not the reason then the main reason is ego, which is always the main matter for the peoples.

I think it depends on every person...However it may happen if they are in Shortage Of Money for long time... In my case, i rather die of starvation than become a criminal ...

When one is jobless, broke and desperate for money, I think one may resort to rob. Food is a need to survive. Or we live to eat! I was told that I may get a pay cut of 20% effective this month. Currently I am trying to make ends meet .. I am doubtly what will happen next .. rob, beg or a 2nd job.

This is a real question but I think the morality of the person has a lot to do with it too I have been on a very strict diet---because there aren't too many groceries in my house because of circumstances but I'd never steal from another person I just couldn't conceive such a thing and there are lots of folks in more difficult situations than mine that wouldn't either

The end does not justify the means - and this is always what i have thought. I think when it comes to one sticking up to their values and remaming true as to who they are - they should not let hunger or anything else destroy their name. As my brother always say... when you have nothing and you only have your name - you should protect and keep your name clean and not corrupted. Name goes on to the people and you will pass on your name to your children and their childrena and if that is tainted, people will always know... i believe that one's hunger can always be solved. like money they say is the easiest of problems to be solved, right?

I would choose hunger because I know God will supply all my needs; so I might be hungry now, but I know it will not last. Why commit an unnecessary crime?

That happen because people don't know that money is not real. Yes, money is not real. It is only an idea. And most people, with their lazy minds, forget to think of ideas, I mean good ideas that are equivalent to money.

Ganesh: answer to your point is YES. This does not mean I support resorting to crime. My answer now is hunger-- but what I may do in real hunger can be seen only when I am in real hunger. criminals are made. society makes people good and bad.

For some, but I know there are still many who will still do the right thing given in that situation. The truth is those who already have plenty of money are still the one who steal and worst they get from the people that they supposed to serve. If I will be on that situation, I'll choose to starve rather than make something bad.

If I'm close to dying of starvation but I have no money, I would steal of course. But luckily I have money to survive. Yes, quite a few turn to crime because of the lack of money. Besides it will take a long time to find work and even if you did find work, you won't have the money immediately.
