another question day 1

If for arguments sake you had the oppourtunity to make 5k over a period of time say 2-3 weeks and you knew that it was illegal/fraud whatever you want to call it but you were also aware that no further action would be taken or where you have chogged the money from there will be no comeback etc would you feel safe in doing so and if so for how long.

    No. Unless one of my children or a member of my family needed something (we're talking organs, not Playstation 3) and would suffer if they didn't have it and the money could buy it. Then morals go out the window.....

    Then I'd do it as long as I had to to get the money, and stop. I'm a bad bad boy.:naughty:

    No, it would prey on my conscience (sp?) too much and eat away at me.

    Perhaps that is the reason I am so tired - you should see the size of my ironing pile :rotfl:

    But to go back to the original question, tempting, but No. these things have a habit of coming back to haunt you - whether in reality or in your sleep - not worth it unless life or death situation forces desperation.
