good answer. who wouldn't actually?
-
I'm assuming you mean unethical behavior? If yes, then I'd like to have the ability to have invisibility and tour some shower areas for the NFL Cheerleaders. :)

Why wait for a time you knew you could get away with it? If you want to do it... just do it & take the consequences.

that's hot....

Me, for one. My behavior is influenced by my personal ethics, not by the fear of what would happen should I be caught doing something wrong.

can you really be THAT certain?
I know that's what we all would like to think.....but how do you really know?
-
It all depends. Yep I know it's not a real answer but the situation is simply too general. Several have already assumed that the act is something negative. Why not something positive?
My own personal code of ethics would not allow a hurtful act like a severe assault or illegal homicide without significant justification like defense.
On the other hand doing something nice like fixing a broken bike or something like that when no one knows who did it is certainly something I have done in the past.
I guess what I am getting around to is this. Zeta, refine you poll question a bit further would you. The answers then would be far more revealing as to the personality of some of the posters online "persona" excepting of course those who are incapable of being themselves.

shades of gray fascinate me. yes...more revealing perhaps.......but I think the ambiguity makes it more interesting...for instance....your noting that it can be a positive action..rather than concluding that it may not necessarily represent a negative action. I like that take.
-
you will all burn....
but yes. i would do it
-
If you knew you did it,how are you getting away with it?
-
Yes, and it was awesome too.

Excellent answer. A true display of someone who has strong ethics and puts his own morality above that of his own sinful nature.
My answer is equal to this.
:aok

can you really be so sure.......in ANY given situation?
what if it required action against one individual.......such as his death at your hands......to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of others?
-
Forget you guys.....
A $500B bank heist....
Sarah Jessica Parker & a hot tub of Slick 50....
My own B52 and a map of bin-Laden's hideout.
That is all.

It depends. I have my limits. Gratuitous murder/assault, no. That invisible in the cheerleader's shower idea...
If it's a positive action, if I know it's someone who's to proud to let someone help them, I would be sneaky. But otherwise, I'm a bit too much of a glory hog :D
It all depends on the act in question.
-
I, for one. My behaviour is influenced by my personal ethics, not by the fear of what would happen should I be caught doing something improper.
Ditto.
But I have not always been so restrained.

That my friend is a given right there. I personally would stop at nothing to safe guard others; especially my family if they were included in that possible figure. The difference between right and wrong is often clouded by varying degrees of gray in between the pure colors of the two extremes. If in order to successfully take out that one person it required my life then so be it.
On the other hand what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...Or Houston...Or Dallas...Or Austin...Or Vancouver...Or the office...etc...
Just kidding unless you count taking my wife along on business trips and having fun all over the continent.

okay if I could really get away with it? go destroy about 5,000 peoples ability to access the internet EVER again :D
