Message:: [QUOTE="Billincolo, post: 625175, member: 17389"]I've been impressed since joining this forum a a few months back with the honesty of the membership ... but this thread has brought out some not-so-nice "me first" viewpoints. Some folks seem to think it's okay to take advantage of others who are unaware of the value of their coins or paper. I have to say, in my personal opinon, that that's not a good thing. It's too much the "stronger victimizing the weaker," or the "smarter victimizing the less smart." But, it's a free country (for now) and we are each able to live our lives by our own moral code. However ... I would be willing to bet a War Nickel -- if there was any way to settle the bet -- that those same folks who say "take the money and don't tell the poor schlub," would be the first to scream FOUL! if they were the ones taken advantage of. In these kinds of situations, wouldn't that old Golden Rule have to come to the fore? Temptation confronts us all at times: How we handle it defines our character. Meanwhile, I will be sure to watch my own back.[/QUOTE]
