[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your perspective is "everybody cheats," so no one is in any position to object.   Yes, I call that perspective self-serving and corrupt.  And, no, you aren't right -- some people don't cheat.

I'm not judging based on outward appearances; I'm judging based on what people say -- the assumptions they make about the world, about right and wrong, etc.  What has astounded me about this thread is the defenses/defensiveness of so many posters.  The sense of entitlement is stunning, as is the cluelessness about the much less forgiving economic constraints that govern other peoples' lives.  [/quote]

No, I did not say and do not think that everyone cheats. Read my post, please. I said that it may appear to others that someone cheats even if that person does not cheat, for judgments based on outward appearances can be wrong. I feel that I do not cheat, and I hate to think that there are those receiving FA who cheat the system, but I know such cheaters exist. I am just saying that the posters who are judging others to be FA cheaters based on outward appearances may be dead wrong. You can't judge just by the $1 million house.[/quote]

I reread your post.  At worst, I've attributed to you sentiments that you presumably did not author but which you did quote and explicitly endorse.  Your post (9:10b) said nothing about judging based on appearances -- it argued that "everyone" should look in the mirror because those condemning cheating probably cheat themselves. [/quote]

Wrong. I said to look in the mirror and realize that others may judge you, from mere appearances, to be cheating even if you are not cheating. It is this understanding of the human condition that would give you compassion.[/quote]
