<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The bet you lost so abysmally to Donovan said
nothing about profanity or name calling. The bet was to avoid insult and you
failed in the endeavor eight days into the wager. That said, I am greatly amused
by your questioning my "situational ethics." The way I figure it a guy who will
welch on a bet made so publicly doesn't have much of a grip on ethics,
situational or otherwise.</FONT></DIV>

Month<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Keely -<BR>> <BR>> I believe what g is
suggesting is that this is a question of cultures.<BR>> <BR>> In most
cultures people obey the laws that apply to everybody within that<BR>>
culture. In the absence of a law, people in this culture will generally
do<BR>> what is right (providing for the greater good). Most people in this
culture<BR>> do not shy away from responsibility for their actions.
Most people in this<BR>> culture offer a helping hand instead of a clinched
fist.<BR>> <BR>> Then there is g's culture, the culture based on
situational ethics, where<BR>> "right" is determined by "Who is involved and
do I like them", "What is<BR>> involved and does it benefit me", "Why I
should not be held accountable for<BR>> anything I do or say", "How, if
actually confronted, it is somebody else's<BR>> fault", and if all else fails
"Why is everybody always picking on me".<BR>> <BR>> In the former culture
people look out for themselves and each other. Caring<BR>> and sharing
is part of the daily routine. And the parties are GREAT!<BR>> <BR>> In g's
culture, the greater good is pronounced "ME FIRST and ALWAYS".<BR>> <BR>>
