OK, darn. I thought I detected a hint of an idea there. So to address some who consider gullibility a justifiable reason to con someone, what about the more sophisticated cons out there. These people are getting more and more complex. Is it ever justifiable to take advantage of someone's confidence? To put another way, to steal someone's money by misleading them? I suppose I was raised on a culture where being honest in one's business was as important as being honest in any other pursuit.
You've never had a job as a lawyer, sales or in advertising have you? Specifically advertising is designed to trick people into spending more money. Is it ethical?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
