I bet the tax man gets an alert when anyone mentions "Great Score" aswell, or.. "today I cashed in 800lb's of #1 copper"
there are many key words that people say online that triggers a reaction somewhere down the line.
but yeah, makes you think that everything we have ever written online, no matter if deleted or not is still visible today,
you can't escape from it really, like now, I say the word.. BOOM! that has just triggered off the pc that is tracking the word, BOOM.
there, did it again, reckon I say that one more time i'll have the feds dragging me away for questioning.
scrappers ethics do need to be pushed apon the scrapperhood, for sure.
infact i'm going over all my posts so far to make sure I didn't say anything silly like in conversation with a little added sugar on top.
sometimes it's tempting to exaggerate here 'cos if I told you I had 8kg's of copper, half a bucket of aluminium and a tote bag of wires,
i'll soon be squashed as the next post will be of joe bloggs and his squillion pounds of high grade cpu's he offloaded for top dollar on the way to a huge pickup of telecom boards and getting paid 5 hunj' to pick it up!
stealing is bad karma, it always comes back to bite you on the bum, only harder.
it's a fine line I think, defining what is stealing and what's not to a scrapper, I can see how after a while of picking all this great stuff out there for free, one can get into a comfort zone to expect most things lying around can be taken, i'm not sure how to explain it but in my short time i've noticed myself, I have a tendency to see most things as a scrap item, walking down the street is a bit like a kid in a candy shop, you want everything but can only get what you can afford or in this case what is being thrown out, like a mower on a nature strip, on it's own, is most likely to cut the grass it's sitting on, wonder how many mower owners have done that, went in for a cuppa or a slash, come back and it's gone!.
