    Where does you morality/ethics lie on this one?

    I notice everyone comes with a PROVE it mentality about somethings

    Like Enron etc. I cannot PROVE anything in a court of law
    [for some it is like OJ . . . ]
    but
    I feel they did some thing wrong . . .if not criminal . . .immoral or unethical
    To me that is all I need to know

    Where as others need a blue print of the criminality
    and a fine definition and a closing of every loophole

    If you kill someone . .. you wrong
    I'm not concerned with loopholes, and legal gymnastics

    Where do you stand on this . . .do you need the Proof A-Z
    that can be used in a court of law
    or
    do you just need evidence of wrong doing
    not necessarily irrefutable evidence

    I don't get your question. Morals are morals and breaking laws means you're breaking the law. They aren't related unless a law is based upon a moral consensus.

    We aren't voting as if we are on the jury, but just in general about cases we observe from the outside right?

    yes

    I notice on here. . . We get to talking about various
    issues and then someone will scream
    oh that is just your opinion

    Like Enron
    Like the War
    various other things. . .

    somethings people demand an article by someone they beleive to be
    of some authority . . . .
    then other respond with an article from someone else who
    they beleive has some authority on the other side

    and I just wonder . . . if at the end of the day
    where does you opinion stick too

    Is everything just . . in the middle until you got every
    Fact tacted down

    I guess. . where is the point where you have enough knowledge
    to make make a stand. . . .

    With Enron . . .I saw enough folx broke and losing money to make an opinion
    I don't need to go through millions of lines of complicated paper trails
    before I say . . Ken Lay is Crooked!!
    He may not have broken a law. . but he did do something unethical

    Mean while. . . after all the crap they threw out at OJ
    I may say he didn't kill ole girl and ole boy . . but I'm almost
    positive he knows who did . .. . He knows *something* at the very least
