Do you believe in the saying "once a cheater, always a cheater?" I have cheated before, but now it's only on the assignments. I don't believe this much because I believe people change. Do you believe in this?

Well, I've cheated on a couple of occasions, even though it was hard for me to do it, and I still regret it. It just doesn't seem right to cheat on tests, assiignments etc. Its like you haven't deserved the good grade and you feel guilty about it. I think people can change! I don't believe in the saying you posted. I guess everyone should be given a chance to correct their mistakes. Cheers :)

It sounds like you are talking about cheating on school work. At first I thought you met the kind like in a relationship. Either way, I don't think that saying is always true. I think for the most part it is true, about 98 times out of 100 I think it's true, but for some people it is not. To say it is always true is saying that people are not capable of change, and that isn't true.

It's just an outlook of some people. Normally you wouldn't trust a cheater when you caught one. Trust is one thing that is easily broken but difficult to restore, so even if i don't want to be prejudiced against someone who had committed cheating, i do have my reservations as to whether i can trust him again or not. And no matter how small the crime is, as long as you have been caught cheating, it's still cheating and it will break the trust. So you might as well think big and cheat big - man, do i think like a local political candidate from the banana republic known as Philip II's former colony.
