WRONG IS WRONG
I read this article the other day about a prestigious college out east that caught a bunch students cheating on their exams and they now say they are being forced to establish some kind of official published moral code. Apparently they can’t punish people for cheating, unless somewhere there is an official piece of paper that says, cheating is not allowed. That somehow in these students upbringing, plagiarizing or stealing was never discussed. Some of them went so far as to say they knew students who had cheated and got away with it, so they thought is was allowed.
That’s the trouble with making rules in this country. They need to be written so that everyone, regardless of their ability, can understand them and then they need to be written so somebody’s Philadelphia lawyer can’t find a way around them. Yes there are lots of people out there who make a living trying to shed the laws that were made to keep our property and us safe.
Let me give you an example. I used to work for a metro park department. At the main gate to each park was a sign that said “NO MOTER VEHICLES ON PARK PROPERTY.” A party was tagged for driving in the park and he got off free because he proved that the tractors that mowed the park had motors. At great expense to the city, the signs had to be changed to allow for city maintenance vehicles.
That’s the world we live in folks. A world where people will go to great lengths and expense to make others miserable and no one is going to tell them what they can an cannot do and their lawyers are only to happy to accommodate them.

Lie, cheat, blackmail, con jobs, it doesn't matter Mike. These kids grew up in a world where honesty doesn't matter. Where you can lie your way to success. Take a look at the politics, and finance today. Everyone raise your hand that believes they all did it with integrity and honesty. This is the price we will pay for the loss of those two things. And the line will just keep moving further and further toward the bad....
Like in this case now you need more rules. Business wants fewer regulations but keeps doing more "cheating" so we need another rule. I miss the days of business on a handshake and a mans word was good as gold. You could tell a con artist right away. Now even with a scorecard you can't tell em apart..
Mr Holst, you are a wise man
and I typically agree with everything you write. In this case, I not only agree with you, but suspect you somehow read my mind and wrote what I was thinking, as well.
Attornies are ruining society, a good example is Bill Clinton arguing on TV the meaning of THE as he fought to justify his behaviors in the Oval Office with an intern that was not his wife.
Immediately, the rationale is brought up that "well, every other President did this too!" and instead of addressing the wrong, supporters of Bill try to right his wrong. That my friends, is a sad statement and it is as wrong as wrong gets.
"Now even with a scorecard
"Now even with a scorecard you can't tell em apart."
Sure you can. Listen to Michele, Biden and Slick Willie describe O' Bama. Click, the light goes on and you know Barry and that pack are all frauds. Love to all - Steve.
Ruining society
"Attornies are ruining society."
Easy now. I am personally acquainted with two attorneys and nearly half of them are honest. More love to all - Steve.
Just listen to
snow, southie, dutch, fishhead, eyolf, and the rest of the liberal cartel on here. Why call those (Michele, Biden and Slick Willie) criminals when you can get all the lies you need locally?
