Good question ozzie....

A sin is a sin no difference.

Thieves --- bad, bad, bad. Getting something stolen from a grave --- hurtful and twisted. But I can't stand liars. Please just be a thief or lie and we all know what page we are on. Liars that pretend they don't I personally have no use for.

I wouldnt consider that person a friend if he lied or stole from me. I personally cant stand liars. Going back to the thief who stole from a grave. I think people who vandalize graves need to get their a$$ kicked. Course i have a personal vendetta against them because they knocked over my grandpa's tombstone. I think the lowest you can get is rapists, but that is a different topic.

I use to work at 2 different nursing homes and you want to talk about low life. People would still bras lotions anything picture frames you name it they would take it the week after Christmas was sad when you know what they got for Christmas and the next day it was gone sad sad. If you have to put a loved one in the nursing home really watch their stuff.

I was over to Ironton tonight visiting a friend of mine and we were sitting on his porch around mid-night or so. I saw two young boys almost running down the street carrying a mini-trampoline. I thought, that doesn't look right..I yelled, 'hey!' and when I did, they really took off. We called the cops..a few minutes later I see this car going down the same alley with it on top of the car. I guess they might have seen the cops on their way or something cause they dropped it and took off and the people got it back. Twp young thieves stopped!

at what point is someone a liar?

lie (also called prevarication) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement with the intention to deceive, often with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, to protect someone's feelings from getting hurt, or to avoid punishment. To lie is to state something one believes is false with the intention that it be taken for the truth by someone else. A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly.

Lying is typically used to refer to deceptions in oral or written communication. Other forms of deception, such as disguises or forgeries, are generally not considered lies, though the underlying intent may be the same; however, even a true statement can be considered a lie if the person making that statement is doing so to deceive. In this situation, it is the intent of being untruthful rather than the truthfulness of the statement itself that is considered.
Types of lies

The various types of lies include the following:

Bald-faced lie
A bald-faced (or barefaced) lie is a lie that is told when it is obvious to all concerned that it is a lie. For example, a child who has chocolate all over his face and denies that he has eaten the last piece of chocolate cake, is a bald-faced liar.

Lying by omission
One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.

Lie-to-children
A lie-to-children is a lie, often a platitude that may use euphemism(s), that is told to make an adult subject acceptable to children. A common example is "The stork brought you."

White lie
A white lie would cause no discord if it were uncovered and offers some benefit to the liar, the hearer, or both. White lies are often used to avoid offense, such as telling someone that you think that their new outfit looks good when you actually think that it is a horrible excuse for an outfit. In this case, the lie is told to avoid the harmful implications and realistic implications of the truth. As a concept, it is largely defined by local custom and cannot be clearly separated from regular lies with any authority. As such, the term may have differing meanings in different cultures. Lies that are harmless but told for no reason are generally not called white lies.

Noble lie
A noble lie is one that would normally cause discord if it were uncovered, but that offers some benefit to the liar and perhaps assist in an orderly society and thus potentially gives some benefit to others also. It is often told to maintain law, order and safety. A noble lie usually has the effect of helping an elite maintain power.

Emergency lie
An emergency lie is a strategic lie told when the truth may not be told because, for example, harm to a third party would come of it. For example, a neighbour might lie to an enraged husband about the whereabouts of his unfaithful wife, because said husband might reasonably be expected to inflict physical injury should he encounter his wife in person. Alternatively, a (temporary) lie told to a second person because of the presence of a third.
Perjury
Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing. Perjury is a crime because the witness has sworn to tell the truth and, for the credibility of the court, witness testimony must be relied on as being truthful.

Bluffing
Pretending to have a capability or intention one doesn't. Bluffing is an act of deception that is not usually seen as immoral because it takes place in the context of a game where this kind of deception is consented to in advance by the players. For instance, a gambler who deceives other players into thinking he has different cards than he really does, or an athlete who indicates he will move left and then actually dodges right, is not considered to be lying. In these situations, deception is accepted as a tactic and even expected.

Misleading
A misleading statement is one where there isn't an outright lie, but still has the purpose of making someone believe in an untruth.

Dissembling
"Dissemble" is a polite term for lying, though some might consider it to refer to being merely misleading. It is most commonly considered to be a euphemism for lying.

Exaggeration
An exaggeration occurs when the most fundamental aspect(s) of a statement is true, but the degree to which it is true is not correct. An example of this kind of lie is if a little kid says they threw a ball across the park then that is an exaggeration.

Jocose lies
Jocose lies are lies that are meant in jest and are usually understood as such by all present parties. Sarcasm can be one example. A more elaborate example is seen in storytelling traditions that are present in some places, where the humour comes from the storyteller's insistence that he or she is telling the absolute truth despite all evidence to the contrary (i.e., tall tale). There is debate about whether these are "real lies", and different philosophers hold different views (see below).

Promotion lies
Advertisements often contain statements that are not credible, such as "We are always happy to give a refund." or exaggerated predictions such as "You will love our new product."

Belief systems
It is alleged[1] that some belief systems may find lying to be justified. Leo Tolstoy is cited[2] as describing religious institutions as "the product of deception [and] lies for a good purpose."

[edit] Augustine's taxonomy of lies

The origin of the word "lie" is generally ascribed to Middle English from around 900 AD. [3]. However, Augustine of Hippo wrote his book De Mendacio "Of Lying" as part of his work: "Retractions" [4] in 395 AD. He had previously written two other books on the subject: a "Book on Lying" and "Against Lying". In "Of Lying" he writes that he is reconciling his two previous works, and addressing the great question of lying, which he felt was an urgent need of his time. He began: "Magna quæstio est de Mendacio." From his text it can be derived that St Augustine divided lies into eight kinds, listed in order of descending severity:

1. Lies in religious teaching.
2. Lies that harm others and help no one.
3. Lies that harm others and help someone.
4. Lies told for the pleasure of lying.
5. Lies told to "please others in smooth discourse."
6. Lies that harm no one and that help someone.
7. Lies that harm no one and that save someone's life.
8. Lies that harm no one and that save someone's "purity."

Augustine believed that "jocose lies" are not, in fact, lies.
