Were your values ever compromised by having to do things that went against your personal code of morals in order to make it through hard times? If so, what?

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Fri, May 2, 2008 - 9:06 PMI once donned a monkey suit and worked for a large consulting company. I did it because, at the time, I was so poor I was buying groceries with my Visa. Also, being new to the world of work, I thought the experience would look good on my resume.
I’ve since regained my senses.

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 7:36 AMBrian- I think wearing a corporate business suit for a year is a hell of a lot better than wearing camouflage for a living, killer -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 8:08 AMAnd because he wears the camouflage suit for a living you have the right to stay stupid things like that. -

Sat, May 3, 2008 - 11:17 AMBusiness suit sure, but you said "MONKEY COSTUME", and thank you for your support of Us who proudly wear the Uniforms of Our Nations Military.

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 11:52 AMWow, for a fun tribe you seem pretty mean spirited.
It because of the guys and gals in uniform that you don't speak German or Japanese and exulting the name of Hitler. Calling someone a killer is pretty mean and small minded. You have done what for this country? You have used what resources to do what? You have??? Other than attack people?
Too many people think they can take the HIGH road and think they have nothing to do with the military, but you are so uninformed if you think just because you don't wear a uniform that you don't have a hand in what is going on. Do you drive? Do you eat? Do you fly? Yeah, right your hands are so clean.
STUPID, but fun...huh?

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 11:27 PMInvincible: I know Brian is your "main squeeze", but try to face the facts...Most importantly, on his bio, he lists his specialty as "Killing with Compassion". Please explain, then: How is calling a (self-proclaimed) killer a killer mean and small minded?

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 11:56 PMAs in kill them with kindness???
Don't tell me you have never heard of that saying???
Yeah, you seem to read anything to yours and only your view point.
I can really tell you are very, very open minded.
MMmmmmmm.............. -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 5:45 AMI have heard that saying before - and it was used in the context of euthanasia and murder. I haven't seen it used in the same way as "killing with kindness". You might want to look it up yourself.
Regardless, Killing is still killing! LOL!
I won't respond to your unfounded personal criticisms here any more. Therefore so I suggest we both drop it.

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 6:44 AMDoes Brian need some help Invincible? Killing is my business and business is good. Kill them all. Let God sort them out. Yeah Baby!!! Murder is fun. Especially when you get paid for it. Just ask the guys at ________. OPE!!! -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 9:42 PMAnd the original question was......... drumroll please...................
"Were your values ever compromised by having to do things that went against your personal code of morals in order to make it through hard times? If so, what?"

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:05 PMI always go off topic. But I was just saying cuz it asked if your values were compromised. I have rarely done anything in my life that has compromised my values. A few things for sure. But it wasnt necessarily to make it through hard times either. Mostly just stupid shit that usually was due to being inhibited by what others might think. If I felt then the way I do now I would have done a few things differently.

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 7:11 AMWhen I was in my teens I stole food to feed myself and my kid.... I never thought that I would even see the day where I would have to do something like that.... but in the end I'm much more understanding and compassionate to those in the struggle.... -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 12:32 PMCrystal are you going to take this information and report back to your Supreme Commander? Why are you on that WARNING tribe? Are you friends with Bruce? I totally don't trust you at all now.
Cheers.

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 2:58 PMYou have never attacked me, said anything to me that was offensive, really nothing at all and I have done nothing... absolutely nothing to you at all... I have always dealt with you on a level of mutual respect so yes I am very confused.... but I still do not hold anything against you.. I'm just not understanding what this is all about... -
-
Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 8:00 PMOkay.
For those that know what I'm talking about, Crystal & I have pm'd and hopefully she understands where I'm coming from now. I hope she make friends again.
Why would Salamander invite her to the WARNING tribe though? ( About a month ago. ) Hmm. Interesting -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 8:48 PMI go to work to make money to purchase the necessary things. Much of what is necessary is a no-brainer: food, shelter, clothing, gas, other bare bones bills, etc. But... truly, when I read this question... the first thing that came to mind was: Yes, I have done things that went against my better judgment and morals I guess you could say... but I have also convinced myself that some things were "necessities" and therefore would rationalize my actions or inactions in order to keep them. (And I'm not just talking about stuff you can buy in a store.) Not my smartest moves, I must say. -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 8:55 PMI used to be a hustler / prostitute and deal drugs. And when I was young I used to steal ALOT of candy bars. And just for the record I dont necessarily think any of these things are really all that wrong. The only thing I do out of necessity is lie to some people because if telling them the truth would make me lose my job obviously I dont want to lose my job. And when I say TRUTH, that entails / encompasses a wide range of "issues." I need a magazine rack. ISSUES ISSUES ISSUES!!! Can someone puhleez help me carry my baggage? -

Re: What Have You Done Out Of Necessity
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 4:25 PMLooks to me like your baggage hasn't really consumed you. I'll even go so far as to bet that, in the end, you're a reasonably good person for it, Mr. M. -
