Do You Believe In Change?

Example:You have a friend,he scams you,2 years later,he starts back to talk to you,he acts like a cool guy even gives ur account back,do you think he's changed.

What are your opinions on change.

 

Yes, if someone did something really bad and it hurt me, i'd forgive them, unless they declined the offer of course.

 

So if you had a maxed 1 def pure,you trust a friend you get 7 def,what now?

 

^ Then never trust him again

 

When you say "scam," are you referring only to a Runescape-related scam, or do you mean a scam in general?

If I let a friend of mine on one of my Runescape accounts and he leveled it in a way that I didn't prefer, then I might become slightly aggravated at that moment in time. I, of course, wouldn't hold a grudge on someone over pixels. So yes, if he went back and made a simple apology, I might say he's changed. I mean, it's Runescape. Scamming a friend's Runescape account doesn't really make one a bad person.

If you're implying that he scammed something more valuable, as in money, then yes, that does make him/her not the nicest or most loyal friend. If the person came back after a while and offered the cash back to me, I'd gladly take it and accept the apology. And the person would have clearly changed.

 

People can change. I don't think anyone can deny that. You can be a devote Christian one day then an Atheist the next.

 

Would you believe I was once a gang leader of a chapter of a nationwide street gang -
Then I turned into a youth support worker and anti-gang activist?
Thats some Ripleys believe it or not shit right there
Change is possible, I can tell you that from experience.

 

I believe judgement can change, but nobody, entirely, really does. Your friend scamming you, is a perception conceived by sometimes ill-thinking and a misguided view. His judgement can change with events that would have some effect - winning the lottery, getting scammed himself, etc but his character is constant.

 

everyone deserves a second chance

 

Yes, people change. I personally went from not going to school, doing bad things to people, 50% avg student, failing 3+ classes a year to decent grades,proper grammar, intellect, etc. People can change, it is up to them, and it depends on how strong they are as a person.

 

Change is a change, although they did something stupid previously, that feeling, sorts of things may remain. A person will never be the same although.

 

People can change...but you really shouldn't count on it.

 

people change but very rarely, friend stole my itouch confronted him said hes sorry he changed gave it back. couple of weeks later see him trying to steal my little sisters DS. Once a theif always a theif imo.

 

A guy I was pretty good friends with on RS about 3.5 years ago
scammed me for 25Mill. I forgave him the next day and let him keep
the money and we're still very good friends right now and are
sharing an account with 3 99s and over 100m.. Should have 1b in a month or 2

 

It honestly depends, if somebody kills somebody, i'm not gonna believe they're gonna change, if a friend lies to me or something, or does something stupid, i'd believe them, and trust them to not do that again. It all depends on what they do/did.

 

I think people can change. I would forgive the scammer if he refunded me completely, apologize, and change their attitude. Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard Finn was once a scammer and changed his ways.

 

I think someone who does something extreme like killing someone has something that exists in their make up striving them to do so, when it is something like lying I think it is a lack of moral justice and it can be corrected.

 

See I think no one really means to hurt someone by scamming, they just become temporarily consumed by greed, it is human nature. I think if amends are made it should be redeemable.

 

I do think things linger from a misdeed, though I think it is possible to over come that deed and start over in a positive direction.

 

I think if a person wants to change they are more than capable of it. I think anyone can be what ever they want to be, it's completely your choice.
