Yahoo! Answers is a continual source of inspiration for me. People ask some of the strangest questions and get even more bizarre responses.
This one prompted a WYD.
So Lizzie's BF got caught taking t-shirts from Old Navy or something but she is going to download some songs on iTunes to show him she loves him and will stick by him.
I don't think I could do that. I've said it, like, ten times, but I want to be with someone I can be proud to bring home to my family, and dating a shoplifter would be embarrassing to me.
Would you date someone who shoplifted?

No. I agree with what you said, it would just embarrass me if I brought him home to my parents.
yes, but then again, I also steal, so it's not as big a deal to me.
I wouldn't, simply because it shows a lack of maturity. I don't want to date someone that thinks they can just steal their way through life.
I shoplifted when I was younger and got caught. Not a big deal, really. I obviously don't do it now.
yes, if he stole my heart.
/lame.
Your boyfriend gets arrested so you download songs to tell him that you still love him? Hmm. How about coming up with some dough to get him bailed out of jail? Sure she's sixteen... wait, she's 16? What's a 16-year-old doing with a 21-year old? Okay never mind, that's beside the point... but if she had really wanted to help him out, shouldn't she try a more effective approach with the help of family and friends?
To answer your question though, I would still date him if it happened once in his past before we got together, or if it happened ONCE while we were together, as long as he's not a chronic shoplifter. People make mistakes, but when something like that is chronic, it's a major obstacle in the relationship.
@beetunes@xanga - heyooooooooooooooooooo
Um no. Having a record is kind of a turn off. I don't care how minuscule it is.
Why should she have to do that? He should be the one saying sorry and loving her.
A government occupies a country and takes the spoils. Called victory.A person leaves corporate store with some DVD's or shirts unpaid for. criminal! I say, take what you can, and when you can from such a place. Never hurt anyone economically via this though, like small stores or pop and mom shops.I don't lift, but Have no problem with those whom do.I think of myself as a financial realist =)
no.
umm..the bigger question/problem is what is a 21 male doing with a 16 female!!!
no i would not knowingly bring home a criminal or date one.
21 and a shoplifter? No. He should've gotten a job instead of shoplifting.
uhhhhhhhhhh..............................no?
yes. my boyfriend used to. he does a little now, but not so much.
She's obviously young. ♥
No, what is wrong with people?
Already did it... It wasn't so bad.
HAHAHAHA WTF
No. A thief isn't very reliable, truthful, honest, responsible - and those are some qualities I look for in a MAN.
That age gap is as startling as the issue at hand. Plus, he got caught stealing at Old Navy. OLD NAVY. Was the $5 T-shirt really worth it?
The guy is dumb, and the girl is just being young and naive. The correct answer here is to not stay with the guy that gets caught stealing. If you're going to date a thief, at least date a good one. Bonus points if you manage to find a good guy that also doesn't steal things.
i wouldnt be able to date a person whose shoplifted.
if they've done it once, they have the guts to do it again..and soon, it wouldnt be retail..
it could be banks or something, and that'll drag you down.
they have no future.
I like dating people with good morals. Doesn't sound like her boyfriend has them. At least not about stealing. hahah
Stealing isnt the worst thing a person can go to prison for.
Umm .. songs? I can only think of Backstreet Boys- As Long As You Love Me haha. :D
