Wts right n wts wrong?

It was almost noon and we were getting late for lunch. We decided to have a quick lunch at the subway nearby. As soon as we got into my car, jeff started playing some music from my compact flash. He asked me where I usually buy my songs. I told him that I copy them from my friends. Not liking my answer, he told me how it is not ethical and illegal to copy songs.

I could not disagree with him and immediately I tried to defend myself and wash my guilt. I thought I will give him an anology to justify what I did was acceptable. Not able to think of an explanation, I politely agreed with what he said and asked him a question. I asked him how ethical he thinks it is to kill animals for their meat? He didnot have an answer for my question either. I bet he felt equally bad... We pinned our discussions to moral values and agreed that we were not nice pple after all... :)

Have you guys ever wondered where you stand in terms of ethics and moral values?

Recession - good for few...

Last week, I was reading an article in Forbes magazine titled, "Top 10 thins to-do in 2009". Ironically, according to Forbes, it is the best time to think big and start spending. House, Car, vacation, and electronic goods topped the list to buy/do this yr... :) I have been deal hunting for a long time now, and I agree when they say it is good time to buy stuff... With banks, airline industry, and other companies struggling to survive this recession, they are giving out best deals that they can possibly offer...

Is this an opportunity or a difficulty... that's where I draw a line between being smart, bein crazy, n bein stupid... it is up to you to decide what you are... good luck! :) I wish I was rich enough to take risk and not feel the loss if any... But you would never know because I might decide to take risk and spend crazy some day!... lol
