Why the truth is not in them ??

I wonder how many people have been told something by a buyer, that was no where near the truth....I hate to think how many times I  have been told that I will send a Pay-Pal tomorrow, or I'll send you a check tonight....and never do anything of the kind.....I've been waiting for two weeks for a check from a guy in Michigan  , I have sold a item 13 times on another web-site based on what a person has told me and never received the first penny..........Does anyone tell the truth anymore ??   I have one web-site that I do business on that has a 98% negative truth rate.....Isn't that a poor way to deal with people ??     What are your experience ??

Why is it Scandinavian countries whose religious baloney started declining decades ago are some of the least corrupt ?

I’d say it’s probably due to their homogenous, mostly rural populations. Kind of like Idaho and Montana in the US.

It also helps that they don’t have guns.

No politics!  You know that won't end well.

Unfortunately autospec, honesty has been going out of style for a while.  I haven't had as many bad experiences as you, but enough to make me cautious.  Don't let those people change you, though.  You can put in your ad that the item will remain for sale until payment is received and the first person to make the payment will be the buyer, or something like that.

Integrity and accountability are provided by natural logic, not religious baloney.

@wolf_garcia, How do you explain that as the acceptance of religious baloney declines in our societies, integrity and personal accountability also declines?  I would gladly accept a little religious baloney if it would take us back to the levels of personal integrity and accountability that I experienced in my youth (a long time ago).

Please note that integrity and accountability are declining on both ends of the political spectrum.  I am not pointing at one side or the other.

So there’s an imaginary world that used to have more integrity and accountability?

I’m not saying everyone who believes this agrees but most people I’ve encountered whose notion of that imaginary world looks like Father Knows Best meets Leave it to Beaver.

I can see that this will get ugly fast and we're getting well outside the realm of audio. So I will just say that I respect your opinions, even though I disagree, and leave it at that.
