Las Vegas cabbie returns $300,000 left in back seat of his car



http://news.yahoo.com/las-vegas-cabbie-turns-300-000-left-back-024856193.html

he 'just wanted to do the right thing'..... but the money came from gambling, which is the WRONG thing...... of course it's tempting to do the 'right thing'..... call me the anti-christ, or just dishonest, but if i had thought KEEPING ALL of that money was the right thing then that's what i would have done....... and maybe it WOULD have been the right thing to do...... won't know until it happens.......... and who knows? How did the claimant prove he actually WON that money? it's easy for him to say he WON it gambling, and what if the claimant didn't actually leave his money there? who the hell leaves $300,000 in the back seat of a taxi for Christ's sake????

let's change the topic to jewish morals, observe the following scenario:

Shmendrick is a part-time Jew.... he rarely observes Chavas, rarely observes Hannakuh, rarely attends official Synagogue events like Bar-Mitzvahs, etc........ he doesn't believe much in a kind of Jewish God, preferring to believe instead in a less anthro-promorphic God (less human like), however, in all of his thinking, habits, acts, etc, he is a fine upstanding man, an excellent father, a good husband, a generous sharer of his wealth with the less fortunate........ if he doesn't understand some doctrinal matter, he prefers not to think about it and keeps an open mind..........one day Shmendrick goes to the synagogue to light a candle for his dead great-grandmother, more on a whim, than anything else.......... there, at the door, a 3rd party employee employed by the Synagogue who isn't a Jew, tells Shmendrick he may not enter the synagogue as he is innappropriately dressed, specifically because he isn't wearing any side tassles........

then Shmendrick notices a guy enter the door of the Synagogue, he recognizes the guy as someone he once heard was rumored to have a good, upstanding public profile within the Jewish community, but who keeps a mistress clothed and sheltered, unbeknownst to his social relations and his own family........Shmendrick has this from a very reliable source but has no interest in disturbing the man's social reputation or marriage by revealing his secret.....the other guy doesn't recognize Shmendrick at all, as he rarely attends social Jewish events....... however, he is allowed admittance as he is wearing the prescribed hip tassles.........

what is the moral of this story?

now let's observe some chinese morality, five chinamen go into a chinese restaurant in iraq........ they are in iraq on business, they are NOT from communist china and they are all black belts in some chinese martial art......... all they want are some chicken dumplings, that's not even a lot to ask for, they think to themselves.... when they get to the restaurant, it turns out there isn't even one chinese person working at the place, despite its boast of being a chinese restaurant, the chinese guys do not consider themselves to be racist and they do not want to discriminate against anyone, but they just don't know if an iraqi can make a proper chicken dumpling, regardless of their religion, sunni/shi-ite/christian or ethnicity, assyrian/kurd/arab/whatever......... after struggling to order in arabic, why doesn't anyone there even speak any chinese? the guys sit down, wait way too long for their food and then when the chicken dumplings arrive, they are no good, they taste like they've been made with newspaper for filling, instead of chicken...... these chinese guys aren't even from communist china, so they are used to the rule of law and have never seen a chicken dumpling made from newspaper pulp instead of chicken, despite this being a popular way for dumpling purveyors to save money in communist china......... finally, the chinese guys had had enough and start swinging round-house kicks and flying jump kicks and throwing some kind of karate chops and alot of waiters end up on the floor.........

who, if anyone, is a racist in this story? why?
