I suspect you’re not familiar with NZ banks.

Actually they're not NZ banks as just about all of them a foreign owned and have a single purpose... to screw every last cent out NZers any way they can. And their near total monopoly ensures they do a stirling job with their numerous fees and exorbitant credit/mortgage interests rates.

So yeah, if I can get one over them without breaking any laws I would jump at the chance.

And as for any poor slobs who lost their jobs working in a crooked industry because of my hypothetically "alleged" dishonesty... tough!

I prolly did them a favour; they should sleep better at night.

And Besides, McDonalds are always hiring.

RPM!!!!  Good job!

A shame other's have hijacked this thread.

[B@tfinkV]

i would like to point out my first post was not a hijack.


the problem comes when 10 people jump all over me because my views are impossible for them to come to terms with without at the same time labeling me with many horrible names and assumptions about my character.



if the phoney moral crusaders here would just let other people have a view and not jump on them for it, hijacks wouldnt happen near as often.



 Excel, you're one of the few who is being honest here, salute

B@tfinkV,

A society that accepts immoral behavior and makes no effort to try to correct wrongdoers is doomed.

This is one of the ways that society teaches morality:  Do something immoral and you will be shunned and criticized.  Different groups within society have different standards, but the principle is the same.  A typical group of junkies will probably disapprove killing for drugs while a stuffy church group will probably disapprove jaywalking.  It is effective and keeps many people in line.  In countries like Japan societal pressure to do right is  nearly 100% effective (at least historically).  

Don’t say you could care less what we think; the fact that you have responded to this thread 10 times shows that you care what we think of you and you seek to be understood and accepted.  I doubt if your participation in this thread will turn you straight, but I also bet the next time an immoral opportunity knocks you will at least think twice.

BTW, I don’t find you to be a horrible person just because of what you have said in this thread.  You certainly wouldn’t make my top 1,000 people I trust either.

[lasersailor184]

Keeping the money may have been dishonest, but you are talking about a bank after all.

But the money is not yours, nor have you done anything to earn it.  Just because the bank is full of *******s, it is not your right to steal it.

There are probably at least a billion people on this planet who feel that you don’t deserve what you have and feel that you and the citizens of your country are wealthy because your nation has taken advantage other poorer nations.  They would love to take what you have.  Does that make it right?

If the banks are making such a huge profit, why haven’t a few bright New Zealander businessmen gotten together and formed a bank or credit union with better rates?  It seems that everyone in New Zealand would want to join NBNZ and stick it to the foreigners.

Very well said Eskimo.

Stealing is stealing, no matter how you slice it.  When you stoop to that level, you break a moral guideline which just gets easier and easier to break the more you continue.  

Go ahead and be proud of your "petty criminal actions" Batfink, Excel, feel free to think it is ok to screw a corporation just because they are a corporation, in the end, the two of you will definitely have some wonderous kharma (as Storch put it) to answer to.

[B@tfinkV]

don't talk to me about karma bodhi you lemmon faced fool, i have studied much about buddhism and you know nothing of karma....or you dont yet anyhow...and i dont think storch does either if he spells it kharma...


most of you are all full of piss and wind.

you can't expect to sound credible on your moral crusade in one direction, when you regularly break other moral codes quite plainly every day on this forum.



the spectrum of morality is so pread out that no body is perfectly moral.


how many of you have cheated during a relationship?

how many of you have lied?

how many have bullied?

how many have been cowards in a moment requiring bravery?


who here is not guilty of being immoal at one time in thier life?

man, considering im only 24, and most of the real 'moral saints' posting here are probably almost dead, you are acting like. the rest of you pretenders know who you are, and the truly 'good' people here who post against me i appreciate that what you see in my responses is immoral, but at least i am strong enough to observe my own weaknesses and share them openly....and i still maintain that if i had a bank account and it put £20 too much in i would spend it.

i once worked in a butchers, when i was way too young to work anywhere, in the village here. cramped little community. the second saturday i worked there i was cleaning the main walk-in freezer before closing and i found a £1 coin on the floor.  poked my head out the door and said 'oi howard, i found a quid on the floor'.  he took the coin, smiled and told me i had passed the test, gave me a mini pork pie. (i thought that was pretty tight after pulling a nasty trick like that, i should have got the coin not some stupid mini pie.)

in the first year of going to a big institutionalised 'school for the gifted' (which i jumped out of soon as i could age 16) i got suspended for stealing a choc-chip muffin from the canteen as i had no money for lunch, probably to show off to my mates. we stole food, chemicals from the science labs, we used to have commando raids at lunch times to remove the chalk and board cleaners from as many class rooms as possible without being caught.



thats just a quick view of what i see as 'fair game', and a time when my morals acted without me thinking.


maybe when some of you grasp a true sense of what morality is i will consider you not fools.

 untill then 'moral crusaders' like bodhi can go back to mocking total strangers he knows nothing about in fits of acid spitting typing,  for anything they say...

...between his seminars on not stealing being important in morals

[Golfer]

No way you're 24...

the level of (call it...obsurdity) you've achieved takes many many more years or refinement and training to achieve.

You also got played.  I remember a pizza guy trying that except the other way.  I asked if he could change a $50.  He said "nope" thinking I'd give em the cash and be stuck with a couple expensive pizzas.  Instead I shut the door on him.  It was amazing how fast he was able to come up with change without having moved from my doorstep.

I didn't ask for any coins in return...I really like those 15.99 coupons.  Little watermelon got a penny.

[Chairboy]

Goodness, b@tfink, quite a tale.

I'd love to see the look on your face in 5 years when you reread what you wrote, some pretty funny stuff.

I don't trust you near my valuables, I wouldn't want you near my kids, but I forgive your ignorance.  Someone really messed up some important parts of your upbringing, I hope you can bootstrap yourself into something a bit better before you get into too much trouble.

[Chairboy]

Golfer, your pizza story is a bit off.  Most pizza delivery guys don't carry much change on them, and do multiple deliveries at once.  I suspect that he probably either used all of the cash he had left to give you change and prayed that the rest of his deliveries were checks, or maybe he ended up going back to the store to get more change for the rest of his customers.

The pizza delivery guy is not an ATM, and because of robberies, does not carry a lot of cash.

Sometimes when delivering, I've had to use my own money to put together enough change for the customer.  I've had idiot customers try to pay with a $100.  "Sorry, no change".  I don't know if the customer was expecting to get a free pizza, but it's no skin off my back to say "Sorry, can't help you" and leave.  

To try to pay for a delivery pizza with a $50 and think that the pizza guy is trying to scam you shows a remarkable lack of understanding of the basics of food delivery etiquette.

you're right i geuss, im 23, but im 24 in 12 days. ask some of my squaddies they have met me.

how did i get played? 'howard' owned the butchers shop. if there was money in the fridge and he wasnt testing me on purpose then it was his money anyhow.  



other than that i dont see what relevance your 'i'm so smart with delivery guys wanting tips' story about not being scammed by the pizza boy has to do with me giving the money that i found to my boss. none at all.





chairboy: you are a clueless participant in this discussion who has nothing better to post than poorly judged character assasinations.

anyone who calls my friend Redtop a, and i quote word for word,  'RedTop....You're a sad excuse for a citizen' holds no bearing over my thoughts.

go back to posting stuff in 'intelectual threads' and being a good upstanding citizen, you're rubbish at this type of thing. you are very good with quick thinking and imagination though, and aside from your moronic words to me here i have no problem with you.


but dont despair, you're miles ahead of boghi.




if any of you had a clue who i was you would call me bat, or fink, not 'b@tfinkv'.

[Chairboy]

B@tfink, are you revoking my permission to post here?  Gosh, didn't realize you were an admin.  It's interesting how you just give up on things when they get hard.  Is that another character trait you exhibit in real life?
