I don't want to argue with you, and I still stick by my point of
view no matter what. The bottom line is that if you do something
immoral, you risk hurting someone else even if you don't mean to do
so.
I should know first-hand, since I had a guy who thought that it was
pretty okay to grab someone else's work on the Internet and pass it
off as his own. He didn't realise at that point in time that he
could potentially hurt a lot of people in the process.
I could have been [b]expelled from NUS along with all my
team members if I hadn't caught on to what he did. No joke.
Likewise, if you grab someone else's calculator, you risk hurting
the owner of the calculator who can't bear to do the same
thing.
As a final word, I'm Muslim, and I believe that God sees my
actions, and judges me for what I do. I may have to plonk down more
money for a new calculator, but at least my conscience remains
clear and I won't have to answer for anything.
Case closed. [/b]
You have your view and i respect it. The guy in your case could
do his work, but he CHOSE to copy stuff from the internet.
Now think, what happens when you don't have a choice, 20 bucks is
painful to you but affordable, but not everyone else and certainly
not my friend is in the same position as you.
If i lost a calculator, i would rather it be picked up by someone
who needs it, rather then have it thrown away. But thats just my
thinking, and i'm not using it to justify this action.
Case closed for me too.
