I respect your opinion and each man is entitled to their own. Its easy to make a quick judgement about the majority of 'criminals' when you haven't walked a pair in their shoes. Maybe you are living a normal life, had money for an education, and have a normal job...that's how your story goes. I'm not making excuses for myself or anyone else. I am responsible for my actions and knew of the consequences, but not everyone was dealt the same hand and sometimes people have to make something out of a forced hand. Also maybe you never tasted easy money before and how easy it is to get caught up in it. Yes the majority of the 'criminals' are uneducated by society's standards, but that doesn't make them Shitheads. Half the criminals in prison are decent people who just made a mistake and have to pay...least thats what I think I am.

For clarifications sake; I was saying that people that break the law and then blame the system rather than owning up to it are the shitheads, in reference to Gaffin's "Real society" bullshit.
As far as my personal background is concerned, I despise criminals for the very fact I came up from being very poor and saw many around me turn to a life of crime while I stayed on the straight and narrow and did things the right way.
Those "forced hand"s your describing is usually just people being lazy, or as you said going after the "easy money" instead of putting real work in.
Given my own background I will never have any respect for the individuals that take the easy/quick way out.
Nobodies perfect, but when people decide to take "the easy money" when they know its wrong and it's breaking laws and then they try to justify it via having a "forced hand" or not being born rich, those are exactly the type of people I'm calling shitheads.
EDIT: For even more clarification, you don't sound like a shithead. Gaffin/jonny lawbreaker abacab are the ones that sound like shit heads, but everyone already knows they are. Kinda sad when you can tell someones character simply by the way they act on a video game.. eh Bouncer?
