Cheat or not to cheat

AgentMGD	Date: November 13, 2004 @ 9:00 PM is question of the day if your life was board game would you cheat to win or would you accept the roll of the dice and play the game fairly? kiss
victorsskull	Date: November 13, 2004 @ 9:34 PM eccept the roll of the dice
geetarman	Date: November 13, 2004 @ 9:57 PM Wellllll...that's an easy one.. I would say to accept the roll of the dice implies no free will. You can't tell the fox not to eat the rabbit as the rabbit states he's a vegetarian... The rabbit is smart enough to know he'd better run!
Pagan	Date: November 13, 2004 @ 10:19 PM cheat is a harsh word. I would exploit loopholes and vulnerabilities in the rules and use other players weaknesses and fears against them to advance futher and beat them to the finish line. is that considered cheating?
Traf	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 8:41 AM I wouldn't play a game that's left to chance.. such as a roll of the dice.. But if it was a game of skill and I was beaten fairly and squarely, then I would except losing.. Might sulk a bit though...
moam	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 11:31 AM accept the die
AnatomizingA...	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 1:38 PM I guess I'd play the game fairly, but if my life was really that bad.. which is can be... I might cheat every once in a while. Everybody deserves to bend the rules every once in a while!! And if the players in the game of life don't like that... well then they can just kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssss it
sinai	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 2:28 PM i'd play fairly until i got screwed, and then i'd throw the board on the fucking floor.
AgentMGD	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 7:26 PM pagan exploiting loopholes and vulnerablities is not considered cheating it is called advantage in my own life i have bend the rules to suit my advantage it may have cost me a few friends and gained unwanted ones
AgentMGD	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 7:28 PM oh i would cheat i never played fair before and not going to start now kiss
jeddak	Date: November 14, 2004 @ 9:58 PM By cheating, in life or in a game, not only do you do harm to others, you do harm to yourself.
DaveWL	Date: November 15, 2004 @ 10:43 AM In life we don’t all start off on an equal footing. Some people would get 2 or 3 throws of the dice to your one. Some people would start on square 10 when you start on square 1. And then the rules of the game are made up by jerks. But as long as coming last doesn’t have a severe penalty like dying then I’d probably play along.
Droquen	Date: November 15, 2004 @ 3:29 PM Make the best out of what I've been given. Cheating's never the answer
geetarman	Date: November 15, 2004 @ 7:08 PM Hmmmm... Here's a scenario: Company A plays by the rules and get's taxed out of business. Company B keeps double books so they can pay taxes and buy food for the family. Where do you think Company A will be looking for work next week. It's real life. Print this on the bottom of an iron skillet, "Real Life". When you have the notion to play fairly hit yourself in the head with the skillet as a reminder not to follow in the footsteps of Company A. Maybe I'm wrong. But it's not enough to be good, you have to good for something...even if it's bad.
blacklieder	Date: November 15, 2004 @ 11:06 PM Life is a board game, but like Einstein said, "God does not play at dice" Neither do I. But then again, if my life were Monopoly, I'd be putting hotels on St. Charles Place, and wondering why nobody ever lands on Water Works. Don;t ya need Water to survive? I wonder who's the top hat???

chrismacmanus	Date: November 16, 2004 @ 9:26 AM cheat cheat cheat cheat! And when your done cheating, cheat some more (make sure nobody finds out about it though). And don't listen to your teachers at school who found the need to constantly remind you that 'the only person your cheating is yourself'
silverwolf121	Date: November 16, 2004 @ 11:55 AM Totally agree with Sinai1 I may even stack the deck and get extra get outta shit free cards. But heres the ? what board or card game would your life be?
2step-4eva	Date: November 16, 2004 @ 1:00 PM im fucking glad life aint a game of monopoly. if it was id now be throwing a tantrum in the corner cos i probably cheated anyway, but my little sister still managed to bankrupt me when i land on liverpool st. or marylebone station

mudshadow	Date: November 21, 2004 @ 3:51 PM I'm not real quick to trivialize my life as a mere game. I would concur that life is filled with a myriad of smaller, petty games one will inevitably find oneself thrust into, and many people may attempt to play me, and I will prove over and over to be but an unpredictable variable in whatever "game" they are involved in, simply because every "player" naturally sees everybody else as a player or pawn, and when I don't act in a predictable fashion, the player's self importance forces him/her to be upset with me (You see? You can't win anyway). If you use me to get ahead, good for you. If I get hurt, it's my fault for trusting you. These eyes have seen many a player, I guarantee you, but if you take something from me, and call it yours, you're taking a calculated risk, and obviously betting, that I won't take just measures. So I would have to say be very careful with the games you play, 'cause some folks are not "playing". Dealing with different levels of beaurocracy sometimes calls for resourcefulness and creative measures, and can be endlessly frustrating. I must, however, hold myself to a standard, and the fact that I assess the world around me by that standard helps me to identify others and their agendas. When I was younger I played some "games" and it cost me far, far too much. After all the loss, and the pain, and all the freinds that have come and gone, I only accept people into my life who are true and real and not given to "trivial persuits". On the other hand, some people's lives are not just games, but perpetual soap operas
