I have a purely hypothetical dilemma! If you know someone really bad has done something wrong,and they didnt get caught.Someone wanted to catch them out, but this meant setting up that person for something that they actually hadnt done, nobody else knows this except you,do you keep quiet and let them get punished? Or do you tell the truth and let a bad man walk free? help!

If you want to be known as a squealer, go ahead and squeal. I don't approve of squealing, therefore I don't project my insecurities in other people.

Do the right thing. If you know that this person has doing something bad that they should be punished for it, then let nature take's it course, but keep your conscience clear. Tell the truth. If you do not tell the truth, that could come to haunt you.

Well, depends what it is that they've done. If they stole a piece of gum from the store, well I'd let it slide. If they stole a plasma tv from the store... well, I'd still let it slide and ask them if they have a Playstation. If they killed a man... well, did I like the guy? Eh.. doubt it, so let that one slide too... Let's see... I lean more toward the keep my booty out of other peoples' business whenever possible.
