I just find it odd that you don't think what you've done was wrong or that it didn't harm anyone.
I never said that. I said I wasn't ashamed of it. I don't feel shame for much that I have done in life. I don't look back at my 19 year old self and reach harsh judgements. Nor did I say it harmed nobody. I did, however, say I view it differently to the way I would view, say, snatching somebody's purse, or breaking into their house.

I'm not quite sure what kind of mea culpa people are currently expecting, for foolish things done in youth. I do not think it is the worst thing someone can do. In certain circumstances, it can seem like the obvious solution. Obviously, I would not do the same thing now, because I am better resourced (emotionally) to deal with life and have a much better understanding of the hidden effects of such activities (such as the rising prices).

Do I regret doing what I did as a kid? No. There's very little in my life that I can truly say I regret.
