Title: You’ll never take me alive copper!
Post by: karne on 25 January, 2003, 01:25:27 AM
I'm fed up working for a living but have got used to my rather elaborate lifestyle, therefore I have decided to turn to crime in order to finance it. Do any boarders know of a sure fire way I can accomplish this without getting caught and having to pay the price?

Regards,

Karne

'Tis in the nature of crime that one must pay the price...unless of course you're already rich in which case you can seemingly commit corporate crime with impunity.

That said, some years back a pal of mine came up with the perfect crime:  KILL EVERYBODY!

I think you need to talk to JimBob about that... but I reckon some mad caper involving gold bullion or diamonds is a good bet. Esp if it involves driving around Milan in Mini Coopers.

Dude - do it in the chatroom.

As for perfect crimes, killing everyone sounds like a good plan.  Can we start with kids?  Esp. those wearing hoodies.

its best to commit white collar crime because if you do get caught its 1 year or less in an open prison..

remember that

its important

you could just try some kinda business venture or betting on football games, good odds there...

see blaise pascal for some good work on probability theory

crime is just another business venture with risks etc... but who wants to end up in prison... baaa

I was the news the other night. Some people have resorted to begging on the net. Yes friend one woman raised 15thousand dollars to pay off credit cards, another lucky beggar got money to pay off a college loan. Yes indeed I'm very serious, what some people do to avoid work.

become an MP.
politics is the best crooked way to make loads of money and never get in trouble unless you are a really unlucky.
work only on the day the tv cameras are going to be there. travel first class everywhere.
minister for sport has to be the best one. or culutral affairs.
that would mean you say i want to get in touch with the youg voter and go to all the big concerts for free.

You could always join my cult and help me rip off anyone else follish enough to join. I'm working on the Americans etc. trying to get their credit card numbers and so on. However I must stress I am open about swindling my members.

If you want to get involved in something a little more immediately profitable I might be able to help you out there too....

 Become an Italian MP. By law you can not be prosecuted, which is why Burlosconi got into polictics in the first place. Now your free of the threat of prosecution the actual crime is up to you.

Can you get prosecuted in other countries?

Well Karne, If you want to make money fast some people say you need to have someting people want. Now, if that particular thing was something intangible that couldn't be proven or disproved to exist then you've got the perfect swindle.

Religious enlightenment is a good example. Those phoney faith healers in America and also the people who supposedly speak to the dead play to peoples beliefs and feelings of inadequacy in order to make hard cash.

It's highly amoral but, hey thats life. It helps if you outline a set of rules which you'd view as appropriate for you then so long as you dont stray from them your conscience will remain silent. Everyone does this, so why not profit from it?

At least my cult is open about swindling people. Once I get into American territory I'll rake in the dough for sure!

Remember I have no soul at present...

JK.

Hmm, not a bad idea Mr K. but I'm somewhat worried that I may catch something nasty from one of the many prostitutes I will be expected to sh*g as I endlessly fall from grace whilst being forgiven everytime by my oh so stupid followers.

P.S. I have a few souls going spare if you need one. I'm doing a special on computer owning celebraties at the moment.

its all about risk, you would have to take risks instead of sitting about posting messages on the web

3 options about making money

1. be smart ( top uni route )
2. work hard ( hardly ever works to be honest )
3. take risks

some people do all 3 !

advise you go on a health kick first as being fit and healthy ups yer iq ( keep it quiet, government want you all to be fat and boozed up to make you easier to control ).
