Is it ok to exploit people who make bad decisions because of their stupid beliefs?

[Momogari]

I wouldn't lie about it but I'm very good at not telling the truth.
I mean if they asked me if it was real I'd be like nah bro it's photoshop.
But there no photographic evidence of Jesus, either, so somehow I don't think it'd affect my sales too much.

On the other hand if I claim (explicitly or through deceptive verbiage) such a photograph to be real when I have definitive knowledge to the contrary, then it goes beyond ethics into realms of legality involving trade descriptions and advertising standards.

Yup, you're right, but we are not discussing law here.

That just means 'see above'

or 'what (s)he said'

Yeah, but I didn't get how it connects to what [mention=87499]TrashM[/mention] said in an earlier post, as your position and [mention=87499]TrashM[/mention]'s position (from that earlier post) seem to be different.

Thanks for explaining though.

So, is you position more like: "Yes, that's ok." or "It's not ok, but I might do it sometimes, depending on my mood."

Your first post suggested the first one, but [mention=15371]Moulders[/mention]' position is closer to the second one, so I'm confused.

Your position is a perfectly valid one and it is OK. I don't think any further explanation is necessary.

It's not that we are looking for any kind of consensus here, as there can't be any.

What do you mean?

I agree with Moulders. I would do it just becauz I can. Morals are subjective and there wouldn't be any real consequences on my side if I chose to exploit but would gain more for myself if I did.

[mention=87499]TrashM[/mention]

So it's not really [mention=15371]Moulders[/mention]' position, but it's closer (but not identical) to [mention=6444]Momogari[/mention]'s.

At least that's how I understand it.

[Moulders]

So it's not really Moulders position, but it's closer (but not identical) to Momogar's.

At least that's how I understand it.

Yeah that's right.
