Quote from swtrader:
when a society becomes proven completely corrupt, people perceive the honest man as a fool
sad, but true
the real issue here, is that we;re looking for a way to have wholesale corruption, without consequences in the character of the average person - there isnt one
i'm not saying i excuse this, or plan to join them, but i'm not going to get upset about it, it's a consequence, not a cause, a symptom, not the problem itself
Rationalize all you want... 2 wrongs still don't make a right.
The victim in the shoplifting CRIME likely had nothing to do with any of YOUR perceived problems... satisfying your "sense of justice" on the WRONG party is wrong, wrong, wrong.. regardless.
