I remember being around a lot of people who were involved in crime, and that temptation to feel the rush of living life on the edge is what does it. That temptation is really a demon. It wants to steal your life from you.
No this is incorrect, and an imorral understanding of reality that the police has imposed upon you. Your understanding is that: due to the possibility of injury, what 'we/I' did was wrong. Therefore i was rightfully arrested and punished. Lets take 3 seconds to think about this line of reasoning. This is an example of a victimless crime, and can, will, has been used to exterminate anyone the state does not like. because according to your reasoning the potential, not the actual reality, to harm others must be excised. Statments which youve agreed to under this line of thinking: "homosexuals, and adulterers, have the potential to harm others and spread diesease, therefore they should be incarcerated." Another example of the total spectrum dominance "This persons child is likely to grow up and become a criminal/murderer, therefore we should just abort it now." Do you see how this is pre-crime; do you see how the british police are a criminal enterprise, who profits off of providing criminals justice.
