I have found personally that people who compromise on the small stuff, end up compromising on larger things later in life. Although you find some certain aspects of honesty somewhat appalling, I find your willingness to openly defend stealing in this fashion very revealing of your character. Don't attack Cathar for having an adverse opinion of low morals, it certainly doesn't seem to elevate your position.
I find your location description under your avatar somewhat revealing if not ironic.
