<p>And rightfully so.</p>
<p>somehow I get the feeling that this board has a lot of ‘snitch’ types…</p>
<p>while you may not like them at the time you got caught cheating pinksox i would imagine most people would rather be aquainted with and honest person opposed to one that lie cheats and is dishonet… just saying</p>
<p>Have you guys not seen the thread on this forum titled “A Must Read for Parents/Students: Lessons to be learned from tragedy”?</p>
<p>Tragedies happen all the time. Alcohol-related incidents happen all the time. If someone snitched on your drinking maybe you don’t like it at the moment, but it could save your life. Rules and laws are made for a reason: for the protection of not only yourself but people around you. Those “snitches” in most cases are only trying to help or do the right thing. Your hatred of “snitches” seems to be very superficial and unfounded, as is this thread.</p>
<p>That’s not snitching, vicissitudes. Saving a friend’s life is not being a snitch, it’s being responsible, that’s on an entirely different scale. </p>
<p>I’m really ****ed at CC because I did not start that thread, I merely made that post on another thread and they started it under my name.</p>
<p>lol @ morada. so true.</p>
<p>yeah, this board is full of chode suckers I bet</p>
<p>Dude, just because you got caught doing something you shouldn’y be doing…stop directing your anger at people other than yourselves. </p>
<p>Heck, even if it was cheating, and the class wasn’t curved, it cheapens the grades of everyone who worked hard to do well in the class to let someone get away with cheating.</p>
<p>So, it’s not your business if people are cheating. People should worry about themselves.</p>
<p>Really? Well, let’s look at Wharton. Goldman Sachs takes maybe one of the many many i-bankers graduating there every year. It’s a dream job. If you and someone else are tied for the lead, then you really probably would be pretty *<strong><em>ed if they cheat. And if someone else sees them cheat, and refuses to turn them in, I think you’d be pretty *</em></strong>ed about that too.</p>
<p>Is it honorable to let someone get away with cheating?
Is it honorable to turn them in?</p>
<p>It’s a hard question, at my college honor is everything and if you cheat, you get kicked out, and you’re also expected to turn in cheaters cause its considered the honorable thing to do</p>
<p>Isn’t business all about cheating? ;)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t turn the person in, it’s against what I stand for. And how do people cheat on job interviews?</p>
<p>Not cheat on job interviews, necessarily, but cheat in class to get ahead of you.</p>
<p>But getting a job isn’t only about grades…no one likes a snitch, honestly. You will get nowhere in life if people can’t trust you. Do what you want, you’re entitled to your opinion.</p>
<p>If you want to keep cheating, move to Latin America and enter one of their military academies… they encourage cheating.</p>
<p>lol, I never said I cheated.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I meant, for example, if person A had alcohol in his room and he’s underage, and person B snitched and the alcohol was confiscated, sure person A may be mad at person B for snitching, but had person B not, person A may have drunk irresponsibly and caused harm to himself and/or others. I see “snitching” as alerting an authority of a violation of a rule or law. Like I said, rules and laws are made for a reason: to keep you and the people around you safe. “Snitching” is enforcing these laws, so actually, it IS being responsible.</p>
<p>Let’s take another example: cheating on a test. Sure it doesn’t seem dangerous, so snitching does no good right? Well let’s see…how would you feel if you worked hard to study for a test, and someone else who didn’t work at all copied your answers and got the same grade? Is that fair? How would you feel if someone else got college that you really wanted to get into, even though he was vastly underqualified, by cheating or lying? How would you feel?</p>
<p>Now, say there is a snitch. Someone tells the professor that this person cheated on a test. As a result, the person is given a lower grade. Does this not seem justified? Is this not much more fair to everyone else who took the test and worked hard to study for it? If someone snitched on the cheat and you were accepted into your dream college, because you worked hard for it and you deserve it, then is not what the snitch did responsible? Ethical? Moral? Fair?</p>
<p>I am personally appalled at the lack of integrity many posters in this thread has displayed.</p>
<p>If my friend told on me for having booze in my room I would no longer be friends with that person. The connection between having alcohol and drinking oneself to death is a non-sequetor. </p>
<p>People have copied my tests before and I didn’t care. If they want to cheat off me, good for them, it’s not going to help them in the long run when they’re in a situation in which they have to rely on their own skills.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh really? Because I thought that people have alcohol in order to drink it, and that alcohol-drinking leads to many harmful incidents, such as drunk driving, alcohol poisoning, and that oh yes consuming alcohol can actually lead to death. And maybe your friend was only being responsible and trying to help you avoid such incidents. If you’re too inebriated to see this simple logic, at least try to spell “non-sequitur” right.</p>
<p>I don’t drink to acquire alcohol poisoning. I drink when I party. I don’t drive drunk. There’s a difference between possessing alcohol and consuming inordinate quantities of it, don’t be foolish. Resorting to calling me out on spelling errors just reflects the weakness of your argument. I’m glad you’re not my friend.</p>
<p>Your argument is like possess alcohol -> consume -> get buzzed -> get drunk -> get drunker -> get trashed -> drive drunk -> crash your car -> pass out -> vomit -> inhale your own vomit -> not have your friends call 911 -> die</p>
<p>Generally, it does not progress this far, and your argument is ridiculous. You’re going to have a wonderful time in college. I hope you don’t tell on all your hallmates for possessing booze, since more than half of them will.</p>
