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?

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.
