so you believe that screwing others for personal gain is a good thing?

Frankly speaking, the only person I screw seeking my own interest is my husband and he likes it (or he fakes interest really well).

Why do you think screwing anyone, in the sense that you meant in your response, actually serves the interest of the person doing it? In most cases, even the one that MD brought up, these actions ultimately turned out to not be in the long term best interest of the person or company doing it.

It is fairly easy to see that a street criminal holding a gun up to your head for some small possible gain of cash in your pocket isn't acting in their own best interest but harder for you to make the leap to the concept that the more sophisticated thief, someone who robs people with a "fountain pen" isn't acting in their own best interest either.

People don't always act in their best interest or even know how it is that their best interest is served. Aside from that, a lot of evil in the world is done by people attempting to "do good" for others.
