A simple Yes/No will suffice.
It will be fun to see how you guys wriggle out of this.

Wow. Never knew you supported the act

Funny thread. Nairaland men are ridiculous.

You want to try reverse psychology on me? Me? Lol! You jam rock.

Lets finish the matter at hand before we jump to the next one. I'm not going to do your defending for you.



So. You have said that cheating is not wrong. I don't know if you realise the amount of hurt it brings to those who have been hurt, the emotional damage it causes, the destruction of trust , not to talk of diseases that can be spread through it act. As far as I am concerned it is a despicable, hateful, shameful act!

Why would you support cheating ma?

Why would you say it isn't a wrongful/misguided action?

VickyyB:

Yes

I'm laughing.

Hehehehehehehehehehe.

They will soon say the analogy is wrong.

Maybe next thing is that you can commit premeditated murder by "Mistake"

I answered your question. Answer mine if you dare.

You asked a simple question and I answered. I also have replies to these ones but if you dont answer mine why should I bother to answer yours?

Not answering mine shows you a coward who is not capable of defending his words and what he says.

Further reverse psychology, trying to get me emotional You have failed!


First admit that you support cheating a lá your statement. Make it plain then I will answer yours. Failure to do this shows you are a troll who refuses to take correction and so full of pride you would rather wallow in your errors than admit you made a mistake!(that word again )



So sir do you support cheating / infidelity? Lets make it plain and I promise I will answer your question

If anybody cheats, you have the option of bouncing the person or forgiving.... If you choose to forgive, do so and forever hold your peace.. you made a decision... however, it's not a must for ur gesture to be reciprocated when you cheat too... you had ur choices so does the other person... A person who cheats may regret his action and never do so again, a person who has never cheated may cheat someday, a person who cheat may still do so again.... circumstances, positions, situations make people do things they wouldn't normally do... A cheat would always remain a cheat, a thief would always remain a thief, a prostitute would always remain a prostitute.... these are some of the useless generalizations Nigerians are known for... Every generalization is generally wrong.....

I didn't even go through the thread sef

VickyyB:

5minsmadness come and show your madness for 5mins(No pun intended)

VickykyB , don't be drawn into her loud mouthed and quick responses. All are signs of nervousness on her part.

And nobody is being bullied here . I'm as calm as a cucumber

Let her admit that she supports cheating, let us have it on record in a post. Or let her admit cheating is a mistake. Then I PROMISE to answer her question

Now lordreed, mynd44 et al; is cheating on a partner a wrong/misguided action?

A simple Yes/No will suffice.
It will be fun to see how you guys wriggle out of this.

Sorry a yes or no will not suffice because you picked the most favorable definition to support your position. Here are other definitions of mistake from the dictionary:

verb (mistakes, mistaking; past mistook, past participle mistaken)
(transitive) To understand wrongly, taking one thing for another, or someone for someone else.
Sorry, I mistook you for my brother. You look very similar.
Shakespeare
My father's purposes have been mistook.
(intransitive) To commit an unintentional error; to do or think something wrong.
(obsolete) To take or choose wrongly.

So the counter questions goes to you, how is cheating an unintentional error?

5minsmadness:

You want to try reverse psychology on me? Me? Lol! You jam rock.

Lets finish the matter at hand before we jump to the next one. I'm not going to do your defending for you.



So. 1. [/b]You have said that cheating is not wrong. I don't know if you realise the amount of hurt it brings to those who have been hurt, the emotional damage it causes, the destruction of trust , not to talk of diseases that can be spread through it act. As far as I am concerned it is a despicable, hateful, shameful act!

[b]2. [/b]Why would you support cheating ma?

[b]3. Why would you say it isn't a wrongful/misguided action?

1. I did not say cheating is not wrong. You will get the logic soon

2. I don't support cheating

3. Cheating is not a wrong/misguided act because when you are about to cheat, that time before you get into the act, you have agreed within yourself that that is the best thing to do. You have convinced yourself that at that point, cheating is right and you are not wrong. That is the point where you lose all respect for your spouse as regards your faithfulness.

You have told yourself that "I cannot be anymore right and to actually not do this is wrong" you have convinced yourself that you are right by your standards and no ine else matters which is the selfish part. Your not considering those you love most. At any point you can give in and say "this is wrong but no" you take off the first piece of clothing, second, third etc and you stick to your own version of "right and wrong"

It is not misguided because even though you were advised by others to go ahead and cheat that it is right or you want to go for the"thrill", you can still stop but the deep selfishness and/or wickedness in you has told you that at that point, you have taken the right step and advice. You cannot be more right.

Sure a part of you might even come up to tell you this is wrong but you ignore it and that part becomes the "wrong advice" that part becomes the "misguidance" you bend the concept of truth and lies to satisfy yourself and that is the wickedness in cheating.

When you are done, you then go back to default settings probably because it was not good enough or you suddenly realize that your conscience is not allowing you rest and you and so you try to seek forgiveness so as to ease your pain: Selfishness again.

Some hide it and carry om convinced that they did wrong but what they heck it has happened forgetting that they did not think it wrong while doing the deed.

This is why in court, things " I made a mistake when I robbed the bank" are not factored in. You did not cheat by mistake, at the point of action the crime, you knew it was wrong but convinced yourself it was the right and best step.

Ok sir. I daresay you are the more logical of the two. Also myndd seems to have evapourated into thin air

The word mistake has two functions. NOUN and VERB.

In the context of cheating, Mistake takes on its NOUN function. It IS a wrongful act.


In the context of stealing meat from the pot(as someone somewhere said ), It is used as a VERB in qualifying the act.

So there you have it. Ipso facto, Cheating is a wrongful act. A mistake. Let all participants and officials of this honourabe court take note!

Court ajourned!

I already answered it in my reply to lordreed.

The process of stealing meat from the pot is an intentional action and as a verb (which qualifys an unintentional action) it cannot be a mistake. So no. You cannot mistakenly steal meat from the pot.



But when you get older and you are counting mistakes you made as a child you can say stealing was one of them. Hope I explained it well enough.

The guy believes every man would go along with him that you can have sex by "mistake"

Mynd44:

What if I kill your child willingly and then realize my mistake. Does that count?

Yess it does..


It's called remorse.

And why pick such an extreme? I fail to see the correlation.
