Are kleptomaniacs worse off ?

[Meno_]

?

[Peter Kropotkin]

ok, can we have some context here? worse off then.... psychopaths?
or compulsive liars? murders? boy scouts? young republicans?

give us some context...

Kropotkin

[Mr Reasonable]

?

i think they'll be fine

[Sculptor]

?

Only when they get caught

[MagsJ]

I think the OP meant, worse off than non-kleptomaniacs.

They are compelled to steal, like nymphomaniacs are compelled to, you know..
Once a kleptomaniac has been discovered, they will never be seen as trustworthy again.

Kropotkin

Peter, Ure n target. Tied f inquiring in what the contexts are, within which the need of taking things occurs. , it may be better to reword it, to under what conditions does it occur
The conditions vary, significantly, as the condition changes linearly from bad to worse, or from better to worse.

Legally. Psychologically and socially , the 'contexts' interact to firm a dynamic, which can represent the whole person. as an interactive rn yodel that impinges on other personality traits.
After the personality is more closely observed, then the more elemental I believe, contextual picture can be raised, as it emerges in a black and white contextual way-such as relevance, or within a certain bounded spacial configuration

They would be? Even if their activity goes on for a long time, will their conscience notbother them?

[Meno_]

?

Only when they get caught

Is it better if they get caught, as a stopgap effort to to stymie their behavior, or will it?

MarsH I think that an either or situation pertaining it may mirror a judge's problem in adjudicating the guilt or innocence of kleptomaniacs. A hurried look at a store camera, may give the type of impression, a detective may
gather, without any other indication used, and survellience being the primary evaluative tool.
But how does a general pattern of such behavior prevent the possible view that prosecuting klepto behavior may in fact be counter productive?

[Gloominary]

Not if they're kleptocrats.

[Mr Reasonable]

What if you just like to steal a little sometimes but you aren't crazy about it? Is that still kleptomania or no?

[Berkley Babes]

I'm guessing he means the compulsory act is more of a burden than the objects are lost.

[Meno_]

Kleptomaniacs have to go back and make redeams. Next time , there never should.be the next time even though they know that is as futile, as it is regressive, for every time becomes proof of diminishing returns.
Marx was right. Socialism is the only way to avoid this obsession..


Kleptos have keener insight into the many folded partial tangencies of disposession, so abrupt and antisocial , while wondering up and down, trying to do time in, near where it all began.

No time , though, now with the Persian across the street holding a little boy ran some.He gives a shot you gather? Not the least bit, he stole that precious naive, as one could flinch a minis second, unbelievedly sudden and intrusive arms, aimed directly to heart,

Taken.

You're not kidding on that one, the act like a slight minion, throwing upward some worthless shard , breaking the light into inauthentic shows of dishonest muted colors, end up as the objects of unrequited simile.

Like abbey Hoffman's guide to literacy: please steal this book.

Backward and trite and maybe somewhat tarnished due to time's vagrant rust, go green with envy. Admit it, it betakes the ice castle's subterranian channels, fearing the spacious underground below the berg.

What do past case studies tell us? Has therapy ever worked?

Kleptomaniacs steal to activate their reward centre.. free highs, baby!

[Berkley Babes]

I admit it

[Meno_]

I admit it

I don't believe it. at any rate,it's probably a cover for something far worse and I disincline to believe in letting that cat out.

Far worse. I admit that, too!

[Meno_]

Would You believe that far worse can actually bring up an antidote?

[Berkley Babes]

I'll believe in anything at this point.

Would you believe you're one of 5 people i keep up a conversation with in life.

[MagsJ]

Kleptomaniacs steal to activate their reward centre.. free highs, baby!

..and free goods.. unless you get caught.. then you only get nuthin but time.. in jail.

Yes, but are they worse off?
Worse off then before they acquires it?

Before, way before, they reas -No exit'- they were happy puppies. They said well. They could stay in their self appointed space. There was no Muslem Brotherhood
