Re: Morals and this industry
Pardon me.
I don't see a single shred of evidence that "morality" is an issue here. That being the case, negotiating the semantic difference between morals and ethics is hardly worth exploring. You got offered some work. You turned it down, and are now crying in your beer (domestic - apparently your Christmas is so bad you can't afford an import). You did so for one of two reasons, as best as I can tell - you either didn't feel you could do the work, or you needed an excuse to cry in your beer while wearing your "E" (for Ethical, of course) t-shirt. If you turned it down because you weren't able to meet their requirements or expectations, you were just using common sense, IMHO, particularly if you are starting up a consulting business. If you did not realize that you could earn as you learn, as many have suggested, then ... well, whatever. This thread works well for the holiday season. The rabbis and bishops have made pronouncements from on high, and the acolytes have cried hosanna in the appropriate places. It has played out like watching “Miracle on 34th Street” - it's an amazing film for those who haven't seen it before, and oddly comforting for those who've seen it many times before.

Re: Morals and this industry
Learned alot by making this post, that much I can definitely say. I would also have to say it was one of the most 'hopping' topics brought to this baord in a while...
I will admit it will alter the way I handle things a little bit but for the main part I will stay as I am. Alot of you really are comparing apples to oranges here. I would have no problems (now at least) doing any of the things Nick mentioned were 'immoral' but huge money makers. Such as spam, etc.. Now I would though, as my ass wil end up in jail. I am not here to defend myself, to all of you who have said.. "Failure" You're right - I can't deny it. I have failed myself and my family in alot of ways, mainly myself.... I haven't been able to find where I really feel I belong in the business world yet - although honestly I am really starting to get a good feel for what I would be excellent at. Unless a major company gives me a chance though, will take some college at least. My chance with the one major company is coming up tomorrow evening when I have a phone call with someone that has been set in place for 10 days. I hope I can convince him I have the qualities I have picked up on having the last 2-3 months.. and show him how it will improve his company's botom line. I have no problem being an asshoe and firing people - I have no problem being an asshole to a boss I disagree with if I feel I have no idea what in the hell they want - I have no problem with growing a set of brass and using it. I just choose where to use it differently then some do - I belong in a situation where I have an underling to do the type of shit you guys can do day in and out... That way it doesn't weight on my concious. Not self reghteous, just who I am and how I feel .. Good or Bad .. P.S. 10 Years down the road I very well may say 'fuck that - thinking like that cost me millions' but right now it's how I feel... so until then ... |

Re: Morals and this industry
This is one of the best threads we've had on Oprano in a long time.
I must admit I've only glanced at most of it after reading Serge's first post. That was a winner imho.

That's the point. Our morals would not allow us to be involved with a deal like that and further more our consciences would probably force us to beat the shit out of the guy who suggested it.

Re: Morals and this industry
Ok, there is a disconnect somewhere here.
For me, my morality is formed completely on what Nick is calling decency. To me, they are one and the same and that is where confusion lies for me. No one has accused anyone of fucking anything, sheez. I used it as an example of something that none of us would touch.

I have made many decisions in my life based on my morals. I do not know how much gold I missed, if any, and don't really care. If something makes me morally uncomfortable. I don't do it. That doesn't make me a failure or mean that I am using morality as an excuse for failure. And that is what I was trying to point out. Unfortunately, in this biz, (as you say pornographers with morals) somethings have to be into the extreme to get to a point where NONE of us would do it.

Re: Morals and this industry
I have a question. Is a person a failure because they've made some bad choices in business, but they're working their way up to being a success?
I have no excuses, just mistakes I've made along the way that prevented me from reaching my goals sooner then I'd like and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I don't regret the mistakes because I've learned from them. One of the things I've learned is to NEVER, EVER, rely on someone else to provide an income for you. If you HAVE to work for someone in this industry you better also work on shit for yourself because there's no telling when person "X" is going to say they no longer need you. When that happens you're fucked...

Re: Morals and this industry
First of all, sorry if I bothered any body. If anybody thought in my hypothetical question that I was implying anything bad about anyone. Sorry bout that.
But, in defense here to the rest of the bullshit. I have done several searches across the board and I at least in my hypothetical question used the abbreviation (which means the same as Kitchen Police in the military for anyone lost). The actual term(s) associated with it have been all over this board. In thread titles, in conversation. So, to tell me that only a bonafide idiot brings it up, to tell me, as I was in an icq, that it has never been mentioned on Oprano is a total crock of bullshit. Your fucking gangland tactics of 3 or 4 on one might work on some folks but with me all you get is a big FUCK OFF. If the subject makes you all so fucking indignant how come it hasn't been an issue the other times the terms have appeared on the board. You can all go fucking die. Thank you. |

You started the shit with the "You gonna do it? Or are you a failure?", which was a personal attack, not speculation. It's not gangland tactics either, its common fucking sense and you obviously still don't see the difference.

Re: Morals and this industry
I still say that the distinction between morality and decency, at least in practical as opposed to academic terms, is the distinction between the left and right sides of the same hair.

Re: Morals and this industry
nice thread.
The more money I make, the more I realize that everybody making money is fucking somebody somewhere somehow. When I make a dollar, I take it from somebody else, it didn't appear out of thin air. Do any of us really have anything all that original, of value and terribly unique to offer?
