Carebears are well-adjusted human beings who foolishly try to apply real world ethics when playing EVE.
Those article comments are so one-sided. Not one single person congratulated that clever thief!
Maybe we should add a few comments to the article to even things up. Just off the top:

It has nothing to do with being well-adjusted. I will rob you, kill you, gank you, lie to you (as long as it's not related to a legit mercenary contract), and cause you terrible suffering in EVE, if it suits my own goals. In real life, I've never hurt another human being, never cheated on taxes, and don't have the slightest of misdemeanors on my record. Am I a maladjusted human being?
What this has to do with is the fact that despite all the laws we have in society, the first and foremost line of defense against crime is your own judgment, which decides how you act and what precautions you take. That is the one little important aspect lost on both the article's commentators, and the whiny carebears who plead for their hands to be held in this game. They've grown fat and complacent through their feeling of entitlement, and then act surprised and offended when they're taken advantage of. |

Just so I'm clear, as I'm lost as to what the purpose of this thread is?
1) Real life criminals like to play EVE?,
2) EvE makes you into a criminal?
and/or
3) I thought I'd start a debate about the moral parallels between IRL crime and EvE?

Although the person writing the letter has severe issues with spelling and grammar, he did have a few points. If you lived in a high-risk neighborhood, would you leave your kitchen window open?
One of the things people seem to forget about criminal activity is that only rarely is it prevented by third parties. The only thing that will effectively protect you from crime is being as prepared for it as you can. That being said, blaming the victim is wrong in any circumstance (except for EVE, whiny carebears all deserve it). Still, there are many things someone can do to reduce the likely hood that they will be a victim of a crime (e.g. in my hometown on the subway there was a man mugging people with a shotgun late at night. He tended to go after people preoccupied with mp3 players, laptops, smartphones and the like. How to make oneself less of a target? Pay attention, and don't take out expensive electronics late at night when there are few people on the train...). |

One more time, for the people in the back with hearing aids on:
EvE != Real life
I guess everyone who plays GTA (50% of teenage boys..?) has a secret desire to both **** a prostitute, then murder her to "get a refund"?
Of course.
Also, you read the daily fail. There's a lot wrong with you. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930's |

Lol.
In some country's it is an offence to leave belongings on show, tempting the weak willed.
2 years for the thief, 6 months for the entraper.

you seem to have problems distinguishing between computer games and Real Life. Computer games are exactly what they say they are 'games' real life is something differently entirely. You sir are a total idiot/ troll if you think the burgler needs defending in this situation- especially by placing comments like 'well played, sir!' such a ******** argument- needs to be posted in 'out of pod' forums instead tbh |

Quite a different response from your commentary in the Tornado thread.
Destiny Corrupted wrote:I never hurt another human being[...
I'm not going to say you are lying in that particular paragraph. Cheating on taxes has quite a bit of deterrents in most countries, and it is entirely possible to go through life without getting into trouble with the law. I would challenge you to re-examine the first statement. If you are human, and if you are older than maybe 1 or 2 years, it is a fact of life that you, and everyone else, have hurt others at some point. Perhaps you have no record of physically hurting someone, but emotional distress counts as well.
However, if you do not consider it possible to hurt someone emotionally ("hurt feelings"), then some people might rightfully accuse you of being mal-adjusted, or, at the very least, coldly insensitive.
The problem in relation to the linked article is that we live in a society that has raised people to have a mindset of looking for ways to be hurt or offended. In the USA, that has been cultivated as a means of financial gain. With a certain percentage of lawyers who are willing to take risks on frivolous cases, people have now found a way to make money off of being hurt.
I'm rarely offended, if at all. Being offended is a choice. Being hurt may not be so much of a choice as it may be in the realm of natural human reaction. In your view regarding human nature, do you agree, and if not why*?

If you do not protect it, it is up for grabs. That being said, if someone is caught with their hands on stolen property then they are also up for grabs, or worse if caught on the property where the belongings came from.
