just imagine that the one you are going to fuck over,
would he do the same if he had the chance.
if so I say do it before he does to you.

I enslaved a few negroes the other day and now I don't have to do so much work and earn a lot more. Therefore it is ok to fuck people over.

fucking people over is what capitalism is about, and if that person kills himself, thats one less person you have to worry about. Also laws are meant to be broken

No, it's not okay to fuck someone over just to get ahead. If you have any sense of pride or honor you'll find a way to get ahead in the world through your own skills and hard work.
I'm from the USA.
(in before, "zOMG, an Amerikkkan who believes in hard work and justice, no wai!")
You don't fuck someone over without force or fraud. That's in the definition of "fucking someone over." If you managed to do it through luck or something else beyond your own control, ur doin it wrong.
Anyway, fucking someone over to get ahead is something I personally look severely down on, but it seems that the US breeds and proliferates it, so I'm probably in the minority here.

yes, that's what this topic is about - walking over innocent people in an attempt to bring yourself up.
now here's the thing.. we all know there are dickwads who have no consideration for others but i guess what i'm trying to find out is - in what places is it less frowned upon?
That is, within a corporation, you usually see the sociopathic personalities getting ahead, since they are the ones who can get things done.

You people are not very intelligent.
Intelligent people in positions of power strive not to promote sociopaths, using them to complete tasks by all means, but never trusting them with any real power. Thus intelligent sociopaths tend to hide their true nature if it is necessary to gain power and likewise people in positions of power will try to root out possible sociopaths by leaving desk drawers unlocked, having a fake USER which is unpassworded and leave some information that will make them act a certain way if they knew about it, making them work with annoying people to see if they will bully them etc..
It's all a game of wits.

If you've ever seen the film Modern Times, that's a good political commentary of the flaws of capitalism. So no, fucking other people over is not ok, it creates corrupt monopolies like Walmart and Enron, which end up with way too much power and create oligarchies.
I was thinking fucking someone over like marrying someone with more money specifically to divorce and take half. It's not force and it's not fraud, it was voluntary, but if you don't think that's fucking someone over you're a dumbass.
I'm going to hate you if you marry someone to divorce and take half, even if they had a contractual obligation that they voluntarily assumed to do so.
Also contained in this post is part of the reason I'm never going to my marriage licensed.

But they make a lot of money so them, their associates and their families are evil and should be sent to special camps where they can be kept safe from the population.
yeah. i think china would be a fine example. instead of the overlords fucking over the peasants like in the past, people have discovered capitalism and now everyone's fucking over someone.
We're talking about whether or not it's looked down upon or not, dumbass. Stop trying to make this another capitalism/communism debate.

No, we shall freely look at other economic systems since this message board is full of people who feel others should be persuaded to agree with their ideas.
If the entire point of this discussion is to look at things which are wrong with capitalism, then it has no place here since the only way to prove something is to take all the facts you can find into account whilst making your judgement.

Communism fucks over the good workers in favor of the sucky workers.
