would you trust a criminal?

just imagine some case in which you had to deal with a
criminal ("normal" crime, nothing violent or heavy, but..
small-time shoplifting and purse-snatching and such), but
your dealings were in no way criminal in nature (to your
knowledge, which you assume is pretty solid)... random
examples: he's telling you something that you wanted to
know, you need someone to hold your coat for a second,
you're buying something from him and stuff like that.. would
you trust him?

I would steal something, then blame the criminal and point
to his previous record. He'd go down for sure!

You'd have to be more specific about the scenario.

Yes. I know quite a few crriminals and people who've been to
jail.

i don't think it would matter to me at all if a guy i knew
had been shoplifting, i would still trust him as much... but
i don't think i would trust any random person on the street
anyway, criminal or not.

you only know them halfway or through someone else. it's not
your best friend, 'caus obviously you'd trust your best
friend...

maybe to see to which extent your reputation would be
spoiled if you had a criminal record...

since the crime was not that serious, i'd probably over look
it and trust him/her

but obviously its not as simple as that, other things can be
taken into account like how they act in general

I just felt the situations were a bit too unspecific to make
me sure about them!

I trust noone.

Noone was convicted of first degree murder in the summer of
96. Since being released he has set up a number of
charities aimed at helping the victims of murder by removing
the burden of sadness from them and reuniting them with
their loved ones.

the term 'criminal' is both silly and stupid.

have you NEVER broken the law?

i have (more than once) and i don't consider myself one.

'this man/woman has stolen something. he/she is a
criminal!'

'this man/woman is muslim. he/she is a terrorist!'

perhaps not the best example but i'm sure you catch my
drift.
It's just too easy to label someone as 'a criminal' so you
can feel better about yourself or whatever.

because you've decided the definition doesn't apply to you
the definition must be wrong?

wow, a very bad example, even!

but I get your point. they were a criminal, they're
not necessarily so now.

can it be applied to you?

i wouldn't believe you if you told me you have never broken
the law.

it's really simple ok.

if someone has commited a crime, minor or major, is it ok to
label that person as a criminal even if he/she leads a
'good' life generally?

I think you're not making a difference between convincted
and non-convicted criminals.

when someone breaks the law and is convincted, that person
is technically a criminal. you can disagree with the term,
but that's that.

like I said, when someone has paid for that crime, he no
longer is a criminal. he was a criminal however.

If you have broken the law you are a criminal.

"if someone has commited a crime, minor or major, is it ok
to
label that person as a criminal even if he/she leads a
'good' life generally?"

yes.

I'm a criminal (in spite of not having a criminal record).

I think when most people say "criminal", they mean a person
who regularly breaks laws that vast majority of the
population would agree was wrong: theft, murder, rape,
assault, etc.
The law says speeders are criminals, yet 94% of the motoring
populace in the UK do it. Are 94% of the motoring populace
criminals? Technically, yes.
