RE: Fraud, Actions and Consequences: Exploring New Millennium "Values"
Nope, not old fashioned at all! I'm one of those mythical "xennials" that have recently been diagnosed in our society, and I agree with everything that you have said here! I've had my credit card information stolen, and while I don't know whether they pursued the offending party or not, I hope that they did and that they were held responsible for their actions. That has consistently been one of the most frustrating things I have encountered, that I have chosen to play by the rules and take accountability for my actions and others who have chosen to skirt the rules or break them outright are rewarded by having no consequences at all for their actions.
Just to be clear, I'm aware that I hold many privileges that others don't, but I believe that rules should be enforced equitably for everyone. That doesn't necessarily mean equally, but that each person receives punishment in proportion to their crime and situation.
