catbirdseat Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Okay, how about law as practiced by certain attorneys? I once shelled out $2,000 to an attorney who spent about 2 hours on the case. The result was satisfactory, but that's beside the point. I've never met a single honorable used car salesman. They all lie through their teeth. I don't happen to think of prostitution as a dishonorable profession, per se. If the client gets his or her money's worth it is an honorable transaction. Some life insurance salesmen are dishonorable for selling expensive policies to old people who are not competent enough to understand they are being had. I could go on and on. To conduct one's self with honor one must: 1) tell the truth, 2) appeal to one's sense of logic as opposed to preying on emotions, 3) be willing to compete on an equal playing field (unlike Microsoft), 4) put in a hard day's work for one's pay.

fleblebleb Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Actually, Microsoft succeeded on a playing field dominated by IBM. They essentially won the game. Isn't 4) supposed to be "put in results for one's pay"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
