Scruples: Macbeth

1. Your car will soon need a new transmission. Do you sell it without informing the buyer?
-ABSOLUTELY NOT! I am an honest person, and tricking someone to buy a car is wrong. Being dishonest is not something that will get you far in life.

2. You are drafted to fight in a war you consider unjust. Do you refuse and risk prison?
-I don't believe in war. I don't think killing each other solves anything whatsoever. I don't know how to avoid being drafted, but I know there's something you can file for that says you can't go to war because of religious beliefs? Something like that, I don't remember. All I know is that I would not go, I do not support the U.S going to war for no reason. The Iraqi war was a joke, and we should not be there. George Bush made a fool of himself when he found nothing, and the pathetic part of it all is WE ARE STILL THERE!!!

3. A friend wants to copy and swap some expensive computer software with you. You know it's illegal. Do you swap?
-Sharing is caring is my belief. I think that company makes many millions of dollars off of their expensive product, and if a friend needs this software(for legitimate reasons, obviously), then I am willing to give it to them. For example, burning CDs for friends is illegal, but everyone does it. Sharing music is not really a big deal anymore. I mean, if an artist is going to charge me $20 for a CD, and I can get it from a friend for free, which one am I going to choose? It's not the right thing to do, but it's a lot more convenient and the artist is making a lot more money than they know what to do with.

4. You dislike all the political parties. Do you vote?
-No, you do not vote. If you disagree with a political party's point of view, then don't support them. It is important to voice your opinion and make an impact in who is going to run your country, but if you don't agree with what they have to say, then don't support them.

5. A vagrant asks you for $1. You suspect he/she will spend it on alcohol. Do you give it anyway?
-It depends. If they're singing or doing something to get your money, then yes. There's a bum downtown that hangs out downtown at the lightrail station, and I always see him. Sure, he'll probably spend it on cigarettes or alcohol, but that is his decision. When he's jamming out playing my favorite Bob Dylan song with his guitar, a harmonica, and a tambourine on his foot, he deserves that dollar.

6. You are shaken up on an auto accident. A lawyer could get you a large settlement if you exaggerate the extent of your injuries. Do you do so?
-It kind of depends on a few things: how banged up my car is, how much my medical bills are, and how much money I have at the time. If I am flat broke, my car is totaled, and I don't have health insurance, then yes, I may exaggerate my injuries. I wouldn't feel right doing it, taking that much money from another person, but everyone looks out only for themselves.

7. You have been attending classes all year. An acquaintance, who rarely shows up, asks you to photocopy your notes, do you consent?
-I don't have a problem with friends copying my notes. I have an issue with someone asking me to copy a test. Notes aren't a grade, they are a study tool.

8. Your significant other has had an affair. You have no idea how long it's been going on. Do you leave him/her?
-ABSOLUTELY. I do not tolerate cheating whatsoever. I think that would be the only time I would hit someone, in all honesty. Cheating is the biggest slap in the face you could possibly get from a significant other. It is messed up to cheat, and I think that is probably one of the worst things you could do to someone. It really would hurt your self-esteem. I've never been cheated on, and it takes a lot to irritate me, but that would push me over the edge.

9. You and a friend have liked the same guy/girl forever. Your friend confides in you that she/he has finally gotten up the nerve to ask this person out. Two days later that person asks you out on a date. Do you say yes or no? Do you tell your friend?
-This situation is tricky. I don't want to hurt my friends feelings, nor do I want to date the same person that my friend is. That is a lot of unwanted drama. I also don't like dating people who are dating other people. Someone macking with two or more people is not okay with me. Have one person you are dedicated to, that's what I think.

10. It's your first chance to vote in a presidential election, and it is a very close contest. When chec king that you are registered to vote, you realize that you are registered twice. Do you vote more than once?
-No, one vote is enough. I don't have to voice my opinion twice. That isn't fair to the other candidate, and it needs to be a fair run.
