Anaconda, You and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one⦠I will not teach my kids, or adopt the stance that just because others are doing it â makes it right. And I will not force my beliefs on anyone here â but common sense should dictate right from wrong â just like in trading common sense tells you â you are either making money or losing money. I really donât care if every other human being on the planet agrees with you â If I or my family incurs a bill in good faith â We will pay that bill every time It would be too easy to adopt the âwell look what so and so is doing/ getting â I should be doing/ getting the sameâ stance â and become a victim⦠It will never happen â I will do my dead level best to always do the right thing, and teach my family the same â no matter if it means going without. And they will learn to earn every damn thing they get in life. More than once they have heard me say âLife is not fair â deal with itâ â THAT IS REAL WORLD â they understand this and will do just fine in life I have no doubt Businesses and industries are run by people â its they who are at fault, and should he held accountable â just as all here whoâve bragged about not paying their bills should be held accountable I refuse to be part of the financial ineptness of others, be made a victim by others, or back off my beliefs one bit. Nor will I give those who do â a free pass Take Care Sir Redneck
Jails and prisons are filled with losers who think the same way. Your bad decisions and hard luck don't "entitle" you to "set aside" anything... that's just a lame excuse for an easy out through crime. In normal times that "entitles" you to prison. During anarchy it "entitles" you to get shot.
I sure hope you are not referring to kill the innocent, rather only if someone was trying to kill you? Please clarify your point.
There is a point which when passed most of us would kill, although it will seem distant and extreme. Also, few people are innocent. There are obviously quite a few thieves in this thread alone, and all most people need is the opportunity and excuse, and the more it occurs the more it will become the norm.
You've shown that you don't get the simple concept of right and wrong so it doesn't surprise me that you'd totally misrepresent your post in support of spanish89. Your post said NOTHING about admiring him for trading and was all about trying to justify bad behavior. Some excerpts: I can understand why people want screw the bank... if the need arises in the future to screw the banks or anyone else for that matter,i won't hesitate and your opinion will be irrelevant.I see that as winning not losing geddit? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2365930#post2365930 As for "shades of grey," your malfunction is misapplying that concept to justify what you feel you're entitled to. Check out the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder and apply them to what you and others have posted here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder Diagnostic criteria Three or more of the following are required: 1. Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest; 2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure; 3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead; 4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults; 5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others; 6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations; 7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.
Trader666 God bless people who have the good values you convey. I'm glad there are a few good & normal people around the world. Some of the people on this thread are just like animals--except they also harnass the power of their intellect to become bigger animals. I sure hope some of these people get themselves busted from this thread alone, aside from the issue of the danger such talks presents to society norms. I wish some more of the normal & good people would speak up as well.
