The Amazing Race > The Racers
TAR 20: Nary Ebeid and Jamie Graetz *Federal Agents*
David:
Is that sleeping with open eyes?? :lol:
Bluesky:
Just watched this episode online, and I have to say that I have totally lost respect for these two. Honesty is an important virtue, and they flat out lied, on camera, to other racers about what they do. I'm sure some will argue that this is just a tiny little white lie, and some will argue that they are justified because they racing for a million dollars.
But such arguments are invalid. A person either holds a value, or they do not. A person that manipulates their values according to the situation at hand, can never be trusted. There will always be the next "important", "urgent", or "exceptional" situation that will give them an excuse to set values aside and do whatever they want.
Declive:
Jamie is SOOOOOOOOO beautiful :hearts:

It's a game. I doubt it's the first time this has happened, and it's certainly happened on Big Brother before.

It's just a game. It's okay to lie. Everyone does it.
It's just a first date. It's okay to lie. Everyone does it.
It's just my resume. It's okay to lie. Everyone does it.
It's just a loan application. It's okay to lie. Everyone does it.
It's just my tax return. It's okay to lie. Everyone does it.
It's just my integrity. It's okay to lie about it. Everyone does it.
Bull****.
