Also i didn’t say an owner giving you a break I said someone who worked (not owned) the establishment (that’s stealing isn’t it). |
Yes, it is stealing. But that's a matter of private conduct between the parties, not a matter of public corruption.
And I think that actually makes my point. No one would doubt that if a restaurant manager were giving away drinks to his friends without the owner's permission, the owner would be within his rights to fire the guy, right? If that's the case, then what the guy is doing is wrong.
Yeah, I'm pissed because I don't have a PBA card, in the sense that I'm pissed because the law is being applied unfairly, and there's a class of people who get a benefit that I don't and can't. That's why corruption is bad and corrosive.
If you're asking whether I'd use a card like that, I can honestly say that I would not.
