BTW, that's the last time I'll tolerate you calling me a liar...

Then let this be the last straw. I understand perfectly why, if you're telling the truth, you would want to keep your name out of this. But, by the same token, that means you can't use your business success as an argument. You can't use unproven facts as proof of something; you must either prove them, or use a different argument.

Yeah...but what about the part that you are really a Palestinian Arab?

Besides, sometimes you have to take things at face value.....The point of the argument was never my ownership in business but overall corporate responsibility, ethics and social responsibility in business.

I believe there is a balance. Example, some people would never do anything illegal in business because they are afraid of being caught, others because they realize that inpropriety is bad for business in the long term.

Take this one step further, would you do something immoral, but not illegal, if it profited your business? The short term financial impact may be great but the long term problems associated with these type decisions will almost certainly impact you business negatively in the long term.
