<p>[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 403332, member: 13987"]So it is ok to get a good deal as long as someone knows they are giving you a good deal, or at least supposedly has the knowledge to know, but it is not ok to get a good deal if someone doesn't know that they are giving you a good deal? YOUR LOGIC IS ABSURD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think a coin dealer would sell you a $5,000 coin for $20 if he knew it were a $5,000 coin? Of course not. By your standards if you knew the coin was worth $5,000 and you bought it for $20 it would be ok because a dealer is supposedly knowledgeable. However, if you made the same transaction with a man off the street it is immoral. Also I'm sure you would be withholding information if you knowingly purchased this coin from the dealer under these circumstances, because if you exercised your own morality in this case you would not receive the coin for $20.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your arguments make no sense!!!! You have percieved an extra layer of morality that only applies to some people some of the time. If you want to think that way fine, but you should preach it and live by it. It must apply accross the board to every situation. You must proclaim your fortune before you receive it to make sure it is moral to receive it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
