I was almost able to do a job for a Nigerian company that manufactures gunboats. I deliberated on whether I should or shouldn't, then decided I'd be ok with it. As it turns out, the option fell through, but I'd made my decision.
Alternately, if I had no scruples, I'd be a very rich young man right now, as there was something I didn't want to get involved in, but could've easily. It involved misleading people and .. well, fundamentally, lying. It involved playing reckless with other people's health, whilst at the same time putting me in the spotlight of some very powerful government agencies. Er.. this probably sounds like bullshit, but it isn't quite so dramatic. I didn't. Sometimes I still regret this (when I think of the money), but mostly I think I went ok - I'm not that desperate to be rich.
Where war is concerned, I guess I couldn't give a fuck - we're humans, we war - it's a truth.
Where lying is concerned... meh. That jacket doesn't fit so well.
