Maybe the avatar change is a form of flattery. They wanna be like the poster that had it first

You think everyone wants to be like emelvee?

There's much worse people to be like.

I didn't say everyone, but maybe the dancing cat peeps do

So very true!

I'm your huckleberry. You pick the store.


But neither I or anyone else that I have seen has passed judgement on those who won't/don't take peelies from items. Those who do have been called thieves and have had their morality called into question by those who don't.

Some people just like to point out that they are better than everyone else...even if *they're* the only person who thinks so (a sure sign it's not true, btw)!



And she isn't banned, either.




They don't say "per purchase," so if I buy one jar and remove the peelie from another jar, I'm operating completely within the "rules." If I do this in front of the store manager or security guard, I get bonus points....



The first part of your post makes me think you guys shop together...perhaps at the South Port Super Target?

If your moralistic twin reappears on SD under a different username, will you report him? Or is that okay with you?

Actually, the second part of your post I agree with (I know, stop the presses, huh?).



Um, and that's the same how, exactly?

wow....all over some peelies. amazing how people can get all self righteous on the internet hehe.

Well hello Teri. yes, this thread is quite funny!

I don't see how that works out...

If I get what you are saying, you think Ponds just handed over a few million to Mastercard and said "BTW if any of those aren't claimed by the expiry date, that's cool just keep the balance"?

I don't think you have to think too hard about that one to see it's not very likely.

There are only two reasonable ways I can think that happened:

Ponds paid a few million to Mastercard and said "Come XXX date we want any unused balance back and cancel the remaining outstanding cards".

Ponds says "Mastercard bill us for each of those that gets activiated/used.

Either way, you are not taking money that would other wise just be tossed into the garbage or magically dissapear. You and I may have to fork over cash to get a prepaid mastercard, it would be foolish to think any businness would run a promotion where they a had to do the same and have no recourse for the unused portion...

I have to wonder if people who rationlize their way through stuff like this take it well when someone hands a blatently weak rationalization to them?

If someone stole your wallet, you caught them and they said "Hey someone was going to steal that sooner or later, might as well be me" would you just say "oh ok, yeah good point" and let them go?

If you caught someone breaking into your car and they said "If you didn't expect me to do this you wouldn't have got insurance so I am just doing what you wanted" would you just go back to sleep?

If someone broke the windows on your house and said "If you didn't want people breaking your windows, you should have put metal grates over them" would you just go to Home Depot and buy some grates?
