Today in school i had ran into quite the moral conundrum, and seeing as i have such low faith in society i wished to pose my situation to you and see how you, the good people of NewHorizings, would react. Suppose you had clearly overheard that one of the young adults in your school had stolen a bike, how would you react? Quite the simple statement, yes so many would overlook this information or even fear to report such a thing! What about you? Do any of you feel you have the moral backbone to actually bring such atrocious statements to an authority or would you shamefully assist in his crime by remaining silent.

I would probably be like "Oh wow, that's just sad"
or
just remain like I heard nothing, if it doesn't hurt me, then I'm fine.

I'm not quite sure. It depends who stole it. If it was someone I disliked or didn't know, it'd report it. If I knew them and liked them, then I'd probably let it slide.

Ahmed are you sure you can consider yourself religious when you wont even stand for righteousness?

@Ahmed, I really don't care, he isn't my brother, just person that claims to be related to me.

@Preid: First of all, I never claimed I am religious. Trust me...I'm not, sadly. Im more religious than many people I know, but I am by far not religious.
And I already said I suck...what more do you want me to say?
@Craig: Step bro.?

Killing someone is entirely different, Ahmed. Bike =/= life.

I said that I would report him in a heartbeat.
I wish that whole half of my family would goto jail cells and never speak to me again.
