Your Boss Spits In Your Face Everyday

[PattdownManiac]

Would you give him a [censored] everyday to help your parents?

David, I'm surprised at this problem given that you started that other thread about people examining consistency through the example of abortion.

How can we theorize about the "admirable" thing to do, when your hypothesis excludes the obvious "admirable" courses of action: find a different source of $, or make your boss' actions public knowledge?

Anyone who has put themselves in precisely this situation must have made some less than admirable choices along the way, and also is currently completely excluding obviously possible courses of action, which is also far from admirable. So our theoretical hero is operating with a very twisted definition of admirable. I say the question is meaningless in light of this inconsistency.

It depends. In my situation, my dad walked out on my family early on (and died recently), so I'd probably not endure much for his benefit.

As far as my mom goes, you could piss on me everyday if it meant keeping her comfortable and happy in her golden years.

Also I don't care who knows about it. There's nothing anyone can do to degrade me, as I will choose whether or not I feel ashamed and I'd never be ashamed at taking care of my family.
