- sketerpot 17y agoAs Calvin and Hobbes put it, the disturbing thing is not that everyone can be bought, but that the price is often so low.
- thefool 17y agoExactly. He even said that he decided that he would rather have a "hypothetical children" have a rich morally bankrupt father that could pay for college than one with integrity. edit: oops this is pointed out above.
- sree_nair 17y agoCan you tell me Why?. How can you morally judge a person without knowing him?,If his story is true, he gave up a $200,000/Annum Job.
- sigstoat 17y agobecause he spent that entire article telling us how great he was at rationalizing selling out. he pretty clearly had enough practice that he could've handled one last rationalization. as far as judgment, i don't consider attempting to predict someone's behavior a judgment. i didn't say "he is an awful person". that'd be judgment. i was implying, though, that you shouldn't be impressed by his turning down $16k. the only thing that tell us about him is that his price is above $16k, and below $200k/yr. and, there was no giving up of his job, in the end. i quote: "I was not surprised the day I lost my job."
