[quote:Anonymous Coward 1292002:MV8xNTE2NzU5XzI1MDI3ODY0XzRCQTkzMjBF] [quote:Paranoid Reality 1407601] INTEGRITY seems to have been bread-out. A manager at work told me that it's OK to fire people for telling the truth if it might adversely affect business. Most people seem to have a similar attitude. Denial, fear and such are the path of darkness which most people choose because it's easier. God warned us about JUDGEMENT but judgement seems to be a way of life for most people. That's what tptb have taught us through their organized religions. The only way a civilization can survive is if individuals work together not against each other. We're on the path to self-destruction, as a race but some individuals seem to be headed in the right direction. [/quote] Everything is about the bottom line. It seems that developing a good and strong character is but a forgotten concept. People tend to scoff at and despise good character, like it is a threat to their success. That is the real problem right there. There is no respect for what is good. When you chase after evil, everything becomes a lie. This allows the good to be judged as evil and righteousness as a mental illness. How can you work with crooks, liars and thieves? I think you need to just stay strong and fight the evil that keeps rearing up around you. It is an endless, thankless job, but someone has to. Freedom isn't free. It is a never ending job trying to keep it. [/quote]

Throwing out a Saturday morning topic.....
Why is it that it seems everyone these days is always someone else? It seems that there is an underlying motive or personality that always rears in the times when doors are finally being opened.
Are the days of the handshake deal really gone? If not, where are these people that mean what they say and say what they mean?
Trust, to humanities detriment, has become a multifaceted term that at one time meant something. Something that was attached to a length of time. These days, it's 'trust while convenient'. Don't hand out something whole, unless you are ready to get it back in jagged pieces, tied to mendacious reasoning.
"Let's make a deal", "I'll pay you back", "
I mean what I say
"
Why is this getting so bad?
