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 ??

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.
Religion is useful in providing etiological myths and social regulation.  But as it develops it tends to leave the rails.  I'm sure you can think of many examples.
Culture is a hard thing to define and an even harder thing to account for.
But if you compare responses to mask-wearing in Europe vs. the US it's hard to deny that cultures with different sets of values exist.
@mahgister Have you been reading Pythagoras and Heisenberg again?
By the way Heisenberg read Goethe with a great devotion....Pythagoras was the foundation of Platonism and Aristotelism alike then father of us all....
