Everyone lies and cheats and we all would have done the same thing given the opportunity. Honor and decency are antiquated concepts. Winning is all that matters and cheating to win really isn't a bad thing. It's the norm and we should just accept it.

Yes, I'm an old man. And seeing such moral relativisim become the accepted stance in our society makes me glad of that. If this is what we're teaching our children I'm happy that I won't be around to see the full impact of the world we have created.

I understand there has always been cheating and dishonesty but I find it disheartening that so many now think we should just accept it.
