Hi,
OK, No creative quotes. You said:
Why don't you just accept that noone got out clean from that war, except maybe the finns who fought both of the despots, neither by their own choice, and who were the only axis nation not to give up their jews. (And they were the only nation dumb enough to pay their war reparations in full.)
Now, that's the whole paragraph. So, to repeat Roland's question, "Since when does honor equate to stupidity"? Is it "stupid" in your view to repay your debts? Remind me not to lend you any money. What else is "stupid" in your view? Keeping your word? Meeting your commitments? Obeying the law if you can get away with it? Telling the truth?
Please answer, I'm really interested in your view of ethics. I feel like I've come to know you much better from that one paragraph.
