It aint the same thing at all

It aint the same thing at all though taking a car to 20k/sec or something of
someones bandwidth you are not permanantly deneing them of their connection
just using it to check email my wireless as standard will automatically
connect to networks in range for me if they are not encrypted. its like
going out and leaving the door to your house open. It aint hard to go on to
google and type Wireless Security is it?

Nope so go and Google the arguments against using someone else's
connection. What if they pay for out of plan usage and you tip them
over that with a few attachments for example?

Who pays? Will you pay? No so someone else is paying for something
that you've used, that's pretty much theft in any view.

Depends on where you are. Here in California, it's unlawful (California Penal
Code section 502) to use a wireless Internet connection without authorization.
<http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/08/technology/personaltech/internet_piracy/>:

On the state level it could be more clear. "It's unlawful access", said
John Geraty, an officer with the Internet crimes against children unit of
the San Francisco Police Department.

According to Geraty, using your neighbor's wireless is specifically
prohibited in the California penal code. "It's not yours and you're taking
it," he says.
