I dunno... Seems kind of typical to me.

[Helel]

Fairly amusing, regardless.

Most criminals are stupid or else they would have paying jobs.

[Anamnesis]

I don't have a paying job...But, I'm far from the general meaning of 'stupid...'
I've done things that could place me in the 'criminal' range, too. <<;;
Does that mean I'm not one of the 'most?'

[Coruscate]

I doubt Celestial was referring to us personal users.

I think he meant that people who do crimes etc. for a living are stupid since it's easier (and more profitable) to have an honest job.

An honest job only seems hard to a criminal who doesn't realize how hard of a job he's actually picked...

[Celestial_Samurai]

Correct. Even a low end job is easier and more profitable then trying to figure out which house to rob and then where to sell stuff. If you don't have a job thats fine it does not mean you are stupid. Some criminals can put thier skill into a job. A computer hacker can easily work for some big company doing the same exact thing.

Well career burglars aren't really the most common people in the world. In fact i have pretty much never heard about people who try to make a living off burglary or pickpocketing or shoplifting, at least not in any fully industrialized country. These just aren't the crimes used as jobs, mostly it is just major corporate fraud over a long time and relations to the largest organized crime groups that can be said to be full time criminal jobs. All the smaller things are either desperate unemployed people or people who wants to have something on the side to support their legal income, for one reason or another.
