SIMPLY THE TRUTH!! WE SEEK TO DISCOVER THE WHOLE TRUTH WHERE EVER IT EXIST... MOST OF THE TIME WE SHOUD TRY TO SHINE THE LIGHT OF THE REAL TRUTH IN YOUR LIFE ALSO!

IF YOU NEED HELP OR HAVE SOME IDEAS TO EXPLORE LET US KNOW...

Ethical & Moral Turpitude:

What is it and where do you find it???

This will be an on going discussion as to the meaning and application of turpitude, in our lives today...

==============================

Definition of turpitude:

1) shameful depravity.

2) a depraved or shameful act...

==============================

** The concept of "moral turpitude" might escape precise definition, but it has been described as an "act of baseness, vileness, or depravity in the private and social duties which a man {even the President or other leader} owes to his fellowmen, or to society in general, contrary to the accepted and customary rule of right and duty between man and man."

The classification of a crime or other conduct as constituting moral turpitude has significance in several areas of law.

- First, prior conviction of a crime of moral turpitude (or in some jurisdictions, "moral turpitude conduct", even without a conviction) is considered to have a bearing on the honesty of a witness and might be used for purposes of the impeachment of witnesses.

- Second, offenses involving moral turpitude may be grounds to deny or revoke state professional licenses such as a teaching credentials, licenses to practice law, or other licensed profession.

- Third, this concept is of great importance for immigration purposes in the United States, Canada, and some other countries, since offenses which are defined as involving moral turpitude are considered bars to immigration into the U.S.

- This does not seem to apply today with certain leaders who do not care about who immigrates into the country! It seems as if certain people are out to undermine the character of the U.S.

******************************

We should guard our selves as well as friends and family from any action that would even suggest that we would engage in such conduct...

This one of the major cracks in a persons life; which if not corrected and changed once it is brought to light will lead one down the road of destruction...

For this is the path of many a poor soul... Search and cast any such turpitude from your life... repent and make amends to any whom. you have offended...

This is a major key to living a successful and full life ...

Always seek the best, and leave the rest....
