[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6697356, member: 177"] Is when you are given permission to take a thing, and you actually intend to give it back. *ACTUALLY* intend. If you claim it fell into your pocket and you didn't know about it, or come up with some other lie about its disposition, you never asked, and never intended to give it back. So, not borrowing. "Borrowing" and "handling" are euphemisms, rationalizations, and excuses for behavior that isn't generally acceptable. "See, I'm cute! My transparent lies are *adorable*! So, you can't punish me for doing things we all know are wrong!" Intentionally or not, the race is written to enable the, "But this is what my character would do," excuse as a cover for disruptive behavior. Nobody said they were "garden variety". But, it isn't like the only way to be a lying thief is to be a garden variety one. So, that's no defense. [/QUOTE]
