Looting and Integrity

[gumpzilla]

[ QUOTE ]

If this person chooses to loot, has he just compromised a lifetime of integrity?

This is kind of melodramatic phrasing to begin with. But let's neglect that. Why is he looting? Is he doing it because he can? Is he doing it because that is the only way to procure goods at the moment? It seems like one way you could reconcile this in the latter case is to pay the vendor later.

"Is it ok to partake in looting in order to increase the likelihood of your family's survive? "

Family survival, specifically offspring, is the prime directive. All else matters very little.

It is logical to take extreme measures to survive.

But President Bush said, "Zero tolerance". I take this to mean survival necesseties as well as plasma TV's. Wouldn't you?

The president of your country and stated on national television that there should be ZERO tolerance for looting. No matter how bad the situaion gets, hold out. Help is on its way.

Since I did not see the President say this, as I am in NO and have no access to TV, I loot. Essentials only.

Well, maybe an iPod if one is laying around.
