Thread Name: BS: Real character, integrity & honor
Subject: RE: BS: Real character, integrity & honor
I for one can't answer you Bruce. I know how I repsonded to something similar in the past. I would hope and assume that I would respond the same way in your scenario. In truth though, I can't say that I would. I would want to answer you that I would of course, but how would I really know? I can say that I know I generally perform/act/decide in the same way each time on any number of matters, but I don't always behave the same way twice. So when you ask me to answer truthfully and not on what I would wish......I can't. Does that make sense?

It's why I am never disappointed in my close friends of which I have had very few. I know they can always be counted on to come through as I expect but if by the odd chance they don't, it's okay.

Also.....I'm kinda' confused here on a part of this discussion. Being irritating might be a trait of some individual who has integrity and honor but it certainly isn't the norm is it? As a matter of fact I find many of those I feel have integrity and honor are NOT irritating. Somehow the above discussion seems to link integrity with irritation and that's complete crappola. Also, someone can stand up for what they believe to be the right thing and have integrity and honor but it doesn't make them "right." Most everyone here would say Hitler was a fuck-up but he had the courage of his conviction. Not the best example of course, but you get my point I hope.
