When I did it on a regular basis? "I want it, and I know how to get it without negative consequences.". It's no moral justification, but neither is "I'm poor".

  I agree, but I think "I'm poor" is better than "I want". Neither completely justifies.

    "I'm poor" is only better if you intend to go back and pay for it when you can afford to.

      That is illogical. Your comparison implies that the "rich" pirate eventually pays.
