Is this true? I know of a couple of people who have served prison sentences for petty crimes like stealing money,chicken ,and other stuff that they can lay their hands on.Now they are trying to look for jobs and try to reform themselves but sadly no one seems to give them a second chance.I got one of them to do some garden work and he was feeling miserable because of the way others look at him full of suspicion.
I wonder whether this is the right attitude ? or are other people justified to a certain extent in being suspicious about them and their motives ?

Ya I think this is fact. And you can understand this by "Once a lie always a lie". You can start telling lie only once & it will give you courage every next time to tell lie again. Similarly once you start crime next time you get courage of doing the same crime again.
@Vikas....can you please remove that ad link from your post? It's against forum rules.
In a country where a poor man steals for bread, he is treated as a thief where, politicians and ministers who steal money from country's treasury are given great respect and reputation. Why this double standard? I feel politicians are no.1 criminals of the country. Even the poor people are paying tax for purchasing something. Money collected in this matter goes to politicians' pockets in one way or another. Yet, our country is always starving!!!!!!! So, who are the real thieves?


Yes Politicians are the most corrupted people in India but they still are given respect by we people I don't know why law becomes unlawful for those who steal bread when they have no money to buy food for their family and themselves. May be if Lokpal Bill has been implemented then there would have been some improvements. :blink:


Believe me, they would find a way to wriggle out of that as well, they use their intellect and brain power only to do that evade and outsmart the country's law...I doubt if they are given respect,most of us have no go but to bow down to them when there is need since they wield power..
Its difficult to believe those person who are criminal.Though they try to prove themselves that now they are changed we cannot believe them.
Some may steal things for fun. They have to realize it is not fun it will change our life. In several films we used to see some may steal things for doing good deeds.
Stealing whether it is done for fun or for helping others is still a crime and it cannot be overlooked nor justified...Many celebrities who are well off flick things from departmental stores, small stuff like lipstick,foundation etc..., this is called Kleptomania , why they do it is not clear since they can very well afford to pay for them...

I have heard about a mental problem stealing small things from shops, normal people including kids. Is it Kleptomania or something else?
They should realize their mistake and should change their habit.

Correct. This is kleptomania. stealing is also a mental perversion- a psychological trait. Obviously, such 'thieves' are for ever. .

Not necessarily, at least in some cases some celebrities after being caught take shelter behind this just to save their faces.It has happened with Indian celebrities also some Hollywood stars...once caught and exposed they seem to reform themselves though..

The celebrities are not expected to steal small things like spoons. This is definitely a mental perversion.

Yes I am it is, they dont need to do that, since they are earning such huge incomes.Normally the habit of stealing comes with monetary deprivation..
We should not consider like that we should give a chance to them again.
Its very difficult to believe on thief and give another chance we should always be clever to become in safe side.
Everybody is not so pure in the world. All did mistakes that is only human nature. some may did mistakes by their deeds and some may did in thinking also.


So Time is the better medicine to change everything.
Its better to change yourself instead of changing other because human nature they do opposite of advice.

Innocent person will always try to change his life. He will think about good and prosperous life. A bad person who has tendency will always think about mischief and do wrong to others and himself. They can never change. Actually they don't want to change instead they will change others staying nearby him. That's how they form a gang and become a gangster.
Of course if a person falls into bad company it may be difficult to expect any positive changes in him/her.It all depends on the circumstances under which they committed their first offence whether it was out of necessity,desperation or just to have fun and excitement.The second category may never change and go on with it..

It depends entirely on what kind of environment is provided to them.If they are forced to be in the company of criminals simply because the society is not ready to accept them, then it is likely that they would become even worse and go back to their old bad ways...However, the society,family and the kind of rehabilitation that is given has a lot to do with how a person with criminal background shapes up..
In earlier this quote is true now people are getting counselled and they are changing themselves into good person
