Questioning your ethics

Please tell me you're kidding?

The ethical dilemma is:

a. Keeping money that is not yours.
b. Doing the right thing by turning it in, knowing that it will leave a trail back to you.
c. If you keep the money, do you spend it charitably or selfishly?

There's many angles you can go but the fact is, it is not yours. Will right or wrong prevail? Understanding, "right" is a blurred line.

a. Yeah, but I earned it b/c I found it. Anyone not diligent enough to protect something like a bunch of cash loses out to the vigilant who find it. Finders v. Keepers. Finders wins.

b. How will the money be traced to me? Money is fungible.

c. If you ask a supply-side "economist", spending money in any way can be defined as charitable. The money that I spend to get a haircut employs a barber...or if I buy a new car, just think how many families I feed by virtue of my purchase.

It's a slow day today on the boards.

I just got worked up b/c I haven't had $100,000 in my hands since I blew that much on law school. You mean this is just pretending?

Besides, ethical dilemma games presume a consistent morality underlying a system of ethics. I don't buy that.

Agreed, but I'm of the thought that it helps build a picture of an unknown face on an internet board.

How high is the bridge and what's waiting for me at the bottom, pork chops?

Um I don't know how high the bridge would be, but if DOMS jumped he would be waiting at the bottom, and if he ate pork chops before hand they would be there as well.

I'm in! :D
 
Depends I will cave for some other types of dead animals.
 
Myself and pork have a love affair that goes back to my previous life.
 
Ham does nothing for me.

Pork chops, Pork Tenderloin, Pulled pork.
 
If I came home with a bag full of money I'm sure my wife would be too busy gawking at it to notice the floozy I'm hustling to the back room....

i'd keep it. :shrug:

any guy worth saving wouldn't want me to run over a baby. :shrug:
 
I think the real question is,

Is it a set-up? I remember on dateline a few years ago that a group of investigators wanted to test people's ethics by placing a bag full of money on a side street. The bag was labeled "something bank" (i forget the bank name) and they set up spycams to see whether or not people would take it or run or turn it in. 9 out of 10 people took it and run but were later caught.
 
A workmates wife went to a ATM and a popular shopping mall to get money out. It was one where you can deposit money also. After not being able to remember her PIN for a minute she looked up and saw a big stack of deposit envelopes sitting ontop of the ATM. It would have been the cash from the shops in the mall as it was the end of the day. She took them to the bank and they said the money collector was new and left them ontop of the machine after taking them out. She recieved a thankyou....

If that were me I would have a hard time taking it because I would know it was several peoples money.

But still, it would be very tempting.
 
Onother time I went to the deli to get an icecream. I opened the icecream and put the wrapper in the bin when I noticed there was a wallet on the top of the bin. I had to look in it, it had ID (not the shop owners) and $80 and credit cards etc. I paused and put it back on the bin, walked over to my bike and continued to eat my icecream while staring at the wallet. After finishing the icecream I decided to ring a friend from up the road and tell him what I was looking at. He came flying down the road in his girlfriends car, grabbed it and said to meet him at his house. He gave me $50, and he kept $30. The wallet sat at his house for a couple of weeks until another friend decided to give it back with no money in it.

Here's a better ethics question I heard when I was younger.

You're in the military as a tanker. It's WW2 and American troops are on the far side of a bridge getting pummelled. You start to drive your tank across the bridge but right in front of you, 10 yards ahead, is a baby laying right in the middle of the bridge. There is no room to go around, you either run over the baby and get to your troops faster in hope of saving them, or you get out of your 1-man (for hypothetical purposes) tank and save it, taking precious time, and then continue on.

Why don't you just stay on your side of the bridge and take radio directions of where to send your artillery barrage? That'll save more time than either crossing the bridge or getting out to save the baby...
 
Fuck, your radio's broken. Dead fat baby, or alive fat baby?

I would then resort to taking flag signals from my guys across the bridge on where to fire for range and then for effect...:thumb:
