Ok so yesterday I was talking about situational ethics. Yes that is what it is actually called. I was calling it situational lieing and situational thieving etc. But its actually called Situational Ethics. The artical I was refering to is called Situation Ethics= Pig+Lipstick. If you want to read what they had to say you need to go to www.VerticalThought.org. The artical was in The Good News magazine. Check it out. They make some really good points.

So now that I have given them an ad spot in my journal I will be glad to go on to tell you a bit more.

I really hate shows where people will do anything for money. I mean its pathetic. There are a lot of reality tv shows out there and people will do anything for cash. Does it matter how much cash? Sometimes. But what gets me is these people usually wouldn't do this stuff without the cash being offered. Sometimes these things that they do are dangerous or just downright stupid. Let me explain the dangerous part. There was a tv show not too long ago where people would eat anything for money. They would also do stupid stunts. I know that these people had a lot of safty features for the stunts but stuff happens and people get hurt. There are people out there that will do anything for a few bucks. If you know something is bad for you... Don't do it! Dang! Get a brain. If someone dares you to jump into the water filled rock quary and its only 15 degrees outside don't be stupid. Don't do it. If they top it with $20 its not good enough. You know why? because that $20 isn't going to cover your bills at the hospital. Case in point... Steven... that was the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Next time your brother dares you to do something like that tell him he is stupid and walk away.

Why in the world would you change your ethics or beliefs for a few dollars? I don't care how much it is. You you kiss a pig for $20? How about $100? What if the pig is washed up and they made it smell good? Would you do it then? What if it were muddy? This is what the artical was talking about. I hate to tell you this a rose is a rose... Oh yah... and a pig is still a pig. How about this for thought... $1000 to sleep with a skunk? I hate to tell you this but when you wake up in the morning you are going to smell like that skunk. You will be a skunk smelling person with $1000 but no one will have anything to do with you because you will still stink.
