PRC man adopts dog for $350 and sells for $4000

Ethics cannot pay the bills and flesh traders don't have conscience, ethics or morality to speak of.

Good points you have there but in this pragmatic and realistic society, we shall find peace to leave it to karma to bite the seller's arse.

I disagree. Where do you draw the line between paying the bills and getting greedy? If you do not have ethics, all the money in the world will not be enough. I do not wish to cast any moral judgement on anyone but my position is that if I will not take advantage of organisations/groups/individuals whose main objective is not turning in a profit. If he is a Singaporean finding it hard to make ends make, I will be a little more sympathetic. But if that person is a foreigner who came here to destroy the social fabric with their unscrupulous culture (I don't care whether he is poor or not as his situation should not be the primary concern of Singaporeans), I will have no hesitation in castigating him.

Remember the grassroots leader who drove up in a Mercedes Benz to join the scramble for free used textbooks? Remember Madoff from the US? Unless you think these people are who you aspire to be, you know in your heart what is the right thing to do.

No, I haven't. I am just getting tired of mentioning them in every post. Besides, it is already well-established how greedy and incompetent (they are still promoting the same economic strategy as 40+ years ago and constantly reminding us how far we have come since then) they are. :o

It is paradox.

While I agree with you with my heart and conscience, that this world would be a better place with more ethical and moralistic people...

My practical brain tells me that having more money in my wallet is the most realistic equalizer of injustice and inequality. Unfortunately rich and greedy people will never
admit they have enough and if they are not greedy they are less likely to become rich.

Cash in wallet is king.

But if you are too rich and too prominent it is very difficult to sit down at a coffee house alone during lunch hour or whenever for a simple plate of sotong mee.

Very hard for people to find peace in the world we live in these days.

Rich or poor, we "modern" people day dream about striking the TOTO jackpot and being "richer".

Rich or poor, how to sit down and really enjoy a simple plate of sotong mee is becoming an art these days.

Always be on guard when dealing with PRCs. They will go to any extreme to make money! They won't think twice abt junking out the ethics when they see there's money to be made.

Remember the fake medicine in Hebei? The meat pau consisting of shredded cardboard box? The poisoned milk powder? The whiter than white bee tai mak due to boraxic acid? Countless imitation in all kinds of products?
