Is it Ethical?

[ILG]

We all want to be moral people but sometimes there are shades of gray. Outside the realm of normalcy lies an area where our convictions are tested.

Is it ethical to lie to a liar? What if a terrorist asked you where your child was hiding and you didn't want your child to be found?

It is ethical to steal from a stealer? What if this person was the government and they were taking food out of your childrens mouths. Would you cheat on your taxes to feed them?

What if your boss told you to mail an unethical email. Would just mail an email and said you sent an email and evade the issue that the content was not in it?

I heard a story about a pastor once who was given pies by a woman who was filthy. He took it out back, put an X on the ground and threw the pie on it. He then told the woman, "That hit the spot sister!"

If you did these things, would that mean your convictions had changed? Or would it mean you made an exception to your convictions.

So, when and where do YOU draw the line on it's okay to fudge a little.
