Ethics is Always a Great Conversation Piece

So I did the discussions and they prove to be a great study tool and really make you think. One of these discussions was on ethics and if a woman who was spreading very nasty rumors about owners of an inn and was sued for defimation of character. She was very obviously being unethical. I was reminded of this discussion when i stumbled on an article this week on Foxnews.com. Four officials of the Mongolia boxing team were expelled from the world boxing championships Thursday for allegedly trying to bribe a referee with a watch. Basically in the code of ethics for the boxing association the teams are permitted to give gifts but only in a certain demeaner and the way way they gave the ref his gift lead one to believe it was a bride of sourts. The link is below for those interested. I find the thin line between "right and wrong" to be quite interesting in certain situations.... I dont know a lot about boxing so im not sure wether I feel these guys deserve to be expelled or not. Im deffintely interested to hear the classes opinions on this articl/topic.
