The two presidents with the highest IQ's were Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon. Consequently they both got themselves into fluff.
Bill Bellichick is probably the best coach in the NFL and he also got caught cheating.
The list goes on but you get the point. Anyone with the competitive drive to win WILL consider bending and even breaking the rules. The most successful business' commit some of the most immense white collar crimes imaginable, that effect the entire world economy.
It is not that I condone cheating but it IS human nature. Humans are impusive not instinctual, they FEEL biological desires but can choose to take the moral highground, avoid the default setting.
In The United States we have three branches. Judicial, Executive and Legislative. The reason why we have THREE branches is because if one gains too much power, the other two will gang up on it and bring it down. (albeit them all secretly being together and shadow government similar to RD.) But this game teaches us alot that we already have observed about humanity.
People will cheat. Then we will catch them. Then there will be consequences. Nonetheless, throughout history many have sufferred for the actions of few. What we know is that Hanlong and TC cheated. They are being dealt with. Lafamilglia as a whole should NOT be condemned as any clan in their position. The main reason why they are suffering so much heat is because they are a formiddable superpower many would want to see go...
And as USA was a superpower, the european union began, a similar superpower. Similar to Laf vs SOL/MD/EVO and if you think for a second that a dramatic balance in power in SOL/MD/EVO favor wont have consequences, you are sadly mistaken. I say be neutral and take a moral, ethical stance. Stand up for the better of the game.
I agree with your sentiment. The way I see it, TC/hlw were on the honor code, and they broke it. Putting all self righteousness aside, Just like in high school/college/life, there are going to be cheaters. Does it really surprise anyone that people cheat in this game. After being screwed over in life a few times, I've learned to always consider the other possibilities. Everyone has a different moral compass as to how much cheating their conscience can tolerate. Practically speaking, if you are going to cheat, don't get caught. If you get caught, then you will deal with the consequences.
