Money or integrity?

[Walter]

No, pointing out that you are stating something illogical isn't pedantry. Pointing out you misspelled something would be. 

I used to have a lovely pedant, wore it round my neck for years until someone offered me a lot of money for it .

You mean when I wrote

'Isn't letting your child die when you could save it, heinous?' Don't see how.

BUT if the choice was save my child or someone else died? Save my child!!!! In an instant.


If the choice is as above why would you condemn an innocent, your child, to death?

As I have said before it depends what I would have to do to save my child, if it meant killing an innocent person, no way!

If you were offered a great deal of money to do something, which went against your moral integrity would you accept or refuse it?

I would definitely refuse it.

Would depend what it was, how serious I considered the issue to be.  There are issues on which I would not compromise, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do anything that would hurt someone else for example. but others with grey areas.  So who knows?  As NS said a lot would depend on personal circumstances as well.  As things are I don't need money, it would be different if I did.  Principles can go out of the window if you're poor.

and poor principles can come in through the window if you're rich

Indeed they can, no-one is exempt.
Would that we were all moderately comfortable and content. Temptations could still creep in through the cracks though not necessarily financial.

[Sebastian Toe]

short of killing someone ,heights , and the ability to get away with it , show me the money .

If someone offers me a fortune to push you off a very tall building when nobody is looking, I'm in! 

[Robbie]

So being more specific, if for instance, you were asked to lie, or take part in a scam in order to earn a very large sum of money would you do so? I wouldn't.

I guessed you meant something along those lines - not lying to save someone's life, we'd all do that at a push. 

Agree, I wouldn't scam but I don't need a large sum of money. I can understand the temptation for someone in a desperate financial situation, especially if the scam was relatively moderate and wouldn't cause others to be impoverished (just inconvenienced). I'm being fanciful there but there must be 'small' scams.  No-one has asked me to take part in one and are not likely to anyway but I would have no interest. If I did I'd get caught, end up in jail, ruined, everything lost......not worth it, apart from moral considerations.

There is always an exception to every rule, even mine, but I wouldn't need to be paid!

Floo, I think I know what this is about..... and just for the record, I think you did the right thing.

and finally your true colours are revealed !
The grinning faces hide nothing

[Robbie]

Sad to end up that way, Walter. Not only expendable but cheap  .

it would appear so , ah well ! 😢

[Robbie]

Not really, they don't mean it.

[BeRational]

I would definitely refuse it.

Depends how bad it was and how much money was on offer, and if I would get away with it.

Gimme some details.

[Walter]

you're too kind and I think they do .

I hope you are joking!

As John Cleese once said, "This is a historic moment"

I agree 100% with your stance!
