THE AMAZING RACE ETHICS THREAD
Jobby:
Just didn't want people to overthink the situation! Simply whether they agree to it or not.
georgiapeach:
Try changing it to "is what Connor did unethical" and see what happens. :tup:
Approval is a different subject.

Then the answer would definitely be more No than Yes. It was just merely peeping and people may not have much problem with it. It's not like erm, maybe Mark and Michael sabotaging the tools in Phuket, you know.. which is clearly wrong? If I wanted to know that, and I probably don't have to since they would have been penalized already.
Since that's not what I want to know, I'm more interested to find out if people agree more to his actions or even in fact, would do it on the race or not. That's so much more worthy than discussion rather than on just a simple topic on ethics. Ethics has so much more to that, it is affected by circumstance, people, scenario etc. I'm pretty sure if it's done by Max and Katie, people will probably not be as angry as Dave and Connor doing it since Max and Katie were never portrayed as the nice team.
Which makes this the best statement I've seen in this thread till now:

I'm saying yes, because Connor's actions didn't put Pam & Winnie at a disadvantage. Sure, it's sneaky, but it didn't hurt Pam & Winnie at all (other than Pam & Winnie not getting first place, but IIRC didn't she get lost looking for the Pit Stop? Maybe I'm remembering wrong... ???).
Brian & Ericka getting their taxi stolen in Prague put them at a disadvantage. Natalie & Nadiya stealing James & Abba's money put J&A at a disadvantage.
Connor copying P&W's surfboard sticker did not directly disadvantage Pam & Winnie in the same way that B&E or J&A were disadvantaged by other teams' actions.
TexasLady:
I understand it, but I don't like what they did. I would like to think I wouldn't cheat which is what I think this is, but I don't know for sure because I'm not in the same situation. It does tend to destroy their good story, cancer survival, injury survival doesn't it. :umn:
