A tobacco industry executive lies to a congressional committee about the addictive qualities of smoking even after his research shows thousands of people each year will die from smoking addiction. Should he be forgiven?
I would have to go with yes. And the reasoning behind my answer is because he is just a business man trying to make money. People who want to buy cigarettes have the opportunity to make a choice. They know the outcome that will take place if they smoke. They know that it's their decision, and the result is on them. If they want to spend money they have and waste them on cigarettes. They pay for their own death. It's the people's fault for falling for the lies that were told.
I'm on the side that favors forgiving him. He is just a man, trying to make money. People are just dumb!
I agree with you 100%. The people buying the product shouldn't be dumb enough to fall for it. It is just as much there fault as the producer. In this case, I would most defiantly forgive the producer.
