1. If you could steal $1 million (my pound sign doesn't work!) and NEVER, EVER get caught, I mean 100% guaranteed uncaughtness... would you do it? You could live in the lap of luxury. No one would know what you did... EXCEPT YOU!!
2. If you were invisible for a day and found yourself outside changing rooms belonging to the opposite sex would you take a peak? Would you cop a feel?? Would you turn and run?
3. Your 13 yr-old son is accused of an assault which he DID actually commit. He uses you as an alibi. Do you break it and tell the truth or do you cover for him even though you know it's wrong?

1) I'd definitely do it... I'd try and live with my conscience though!!1
2) Yeah I'd take a peek. I am a warm blooded make after all. The peek is of course on the knowledge that the day I'm invisible isn't an OAP special at the sports centre or where ever I am!!!
3) That is a very tough one. In my head I say he should be punished like everyone else that commits assault, but when it is your son that makes it a toughie, cause in some ways you'd like to think that you could discipline him yourself. The fact that he committed assault possibly suggests somethign wrong with your upbringing of your son, so for me I'd put myself partly to blame and I'd want to make right for it... I think I'd have to be put in the situation before I'd know what I'd really do - hope I never am though - but I don't think I'd do the right thing which is turn him in.

1) if it was from a bank or any big company that is either not going to be really affected by it then yes definately.
2)might peek, but not cop a feel or anything dodgy like that. I really doubt womens changing rooms are as exciting as our male minds make them out to be. definately not like in the movies anyays
3) if the alibi would stand up then I would stick by it and then try and find much more effective punishments myself (including making him do lots of community service type work, in my view one of the best forms of punishment). if he did it again he'd be on his own with the cops.

Re: The Morality Game
1. I wouldn't steal from an individual. BUT, if it was a megarich corporation who wouldn't miss the cash, then I probably would. You only get one life and you have to make the best of it you can. If I can live in luxury without hurting anyone, and not getting caught, then I would do that.
2. I would take a look, but not touch. I think most guys would be curious.
I wouldn't, however, use my position to abuse or indecently assault anyone. To be honest if it was an invisible woman I wouldn't mind her copping an eyeful!
3. If it was a brutal, unprovoked assault then I'd shop the little bastard. No son of mine would ever do such a thing. If it was a fight which my son didn't start, but was being unfairly blamed for, then I would cover for him if I had to.

The main thing is that no individual gets hurt.
Obviously, no one here is planning a major heist, but if you could take the money and no one would know... it's oh so tempting isn't it?
I mean, turn it down and be poor is the alternative. You think God is gonna be waiting after you die with a gold medal?

My answer is similar to yours Mark.
1. I certainly wouldnt steal from a single person (not anyone at all), as I wouldnt want to hurt that person and I know stealing is wrong. Theyd probably miss the money as well.
Not sure if I would if it was an evil, mega-rich company.. probably
2. Probably look but not touch. It depends who was there!
3. Again it depends. Was it accidental? A first offence? Did my son have previously good character? Is he being framed? So many questions.. If it was a nasty, unprovoked attack, well I agree, no-one has the right to hurt anyone else. I wouldnt put it in your words (shop the bastard) though!

I'll see what I can do...ICE-angel wrote:Best of luck Mark, and without wanting to sound too much like a leech, if it works could you possibly just send me the full Zatoichi film series on Animeigo/Home Vision DVDs ? I'm sure that would be like tipping for someone with a million quid on their bank account and I'd be very thankful
And should it happen vice-versa do send me your unwanted Celestial DVDs... thx...

1. Like Gasteropod it would really have to depend on where it came from and how much it was needed, by the owner.
2. For sure. I'd be well away perving and just maybe groping
(note not assaulting, there's a big difference). Okay I'm not sure if I'd grope but I'd have a good gawp for sure. I wouldn't stop at changing rooms though 
3. Not sure I'll have to sleep on it. It would depend on lots of factors.
