I've broken into plenty of off limits post-industrial wasteland sites in my life, but in my will to exist and survive, wasn't stupid enough to pry open any radioactive sources. The worst that happened was a friend who had an obsession with watching the green flash when smashing flourescent lights. I told him it was bad for him to be breathing that shit.
No, I don't think I'm out of line speaking for people from third world countries here, those people were thieving idiots who wanted money more than they cared about survival or the health and safety of their family.
Somehow, most people exist and survive without thieving. But NeoTrots love to act as if theft, even incredibly dumb and self-harmful theft, is some necessary and noble act.
