@NaturalBornHedonist That's fair enough, but 99.9% of times the wallet will belong to a John Doe, you have no clue whether they're a war criminal or an old age pensioner. I'd say return it every time. I left my phone on a bus once (live in london), and i called it and some guy picked up and arranged to meet me outside a tube station and give it back. What a great guy!

@NaturalBornHedonist However if the person was , lets say Dr Joseff Megeles son or Adolph Eichmanns relative , I would rather take the money and give it to people who suffered in the hands of these people

[NaturalBornHedonist]

@xerojreffaj fair enough. I guess for me it depends, if the person it really belongs to is identifiable + if the person is e.g an Old age Pensioner ( who faught our wars so we live in freedom today)

Yes then I would actually return the wallet too.

[xerojreffaj]

@NaturalBornHedonist I would too. Keeping money when you know who it belongs to and can easily return it makes you a thief.

@NaturalBornHedonist

I would.

[NaturalBornHedonist]

So you would return a wallet with lets say ... 10 000 Dollars ??? Yeah rrrright !!!

[NaturalBornHedonist]

A friend of mine once found a wallet with over 50 000 Euros on a car roof. The idiot propably forgot it there.. He returned it to the owner and all he received was a "thank you". What a jerk.

Wow! Character is what you do when no one is looking.

How did the non blacks do?

I think you need to learn the right thing to say and the wrong thing to say.

It is not a very hard thing to learn; all you have to do is consider how someone else might feel before you speak.
