Scruples

[JGowans]

Are people from other countries less scrupulous? Case in point. A couple of Argentinians I play soccer against regularly are a pair of cheating bastards that feign injury, bitch constantly, and try to deliver cheap shots throughout the game. Standing up to them and offering a quick resolution mano-a-mano results in them acting like they did nothing and don't know why you're so pissed at them. Is this an isolated pair, or are all Argentinians like this?

just the game as played in other countries, I say.

I was told to never trust a Scot. Take that for what it's worth.

The concepts of honor and fair play are an Anglo-American abberation. It's catch as catch can everywhere else. In other words, if you can get away with it, it is okay. You know, like in baseball.
