Weird replies, but I expected as much.

Anyway, as I said, we are talking about miles, not soviets, and not desperation. To talk of these things actually mattering on the scale of how I am, or someone is as a person is silly.

It looks like you think it is OK to be unethical because it is for something small and therefore unimportant. It seems to me that if you are willing to be unethical for something small for which you have little to gain, you won't hesitate to be unethical for something large where you have lots to gain. Your criticism of those with ethics displaying only black and white thinking is 180 degrees off the mark, ethics is the process of making decisions in a world with infinite shades of grey. You are the one who seems to require simplification to black and white by justifying that you are justifying a loophole without a law against it, so it is ok, or "white". Since the very basis of ethics is that it requires self restraint, and you appear to have none, all of our posts are a waste of time for you. The good thing, however, is that rational people have taken the time to step back and give the issue some thought and provided some good intellectual discussion. We can only hope that there are only a few of your type out there and that most of the damage you cause will be only to yourself.
