I have a very difficult moral problem. My brother's two adolescent sons are

always asking me to give them head starts in their track and field races at inter-scholastic track meets. Since I'm the starter, I could let them get a step or two out of the blocks and just "look the other way." I feel this would be wrong, but my brother has done so many things for me, maybe this is a harmless way to help repay him. What would you do?

ok your question totally didnt start right...so i have totally lost my train of thought.

It isn't fair to the other kids. Also what are you teaching your nephews if you let them cheat!! Pay your brother back in a different way.Maybe Give him HEAD.....starts the next time your in competition with him!!Nice way to gran attn with your heading, kinda tasteless though!!

Yeah. I think don't penalise the other competitors, or indulge this cheating behaviour and abuse your position as starter. Maybe you could tell your brother how you feel, and why you don't want to do it, but appreciate what he has done for you. He might be angry about his sons cheating and about you if you let them. It is not harmless as the other competitors have worked hard and you are disadvantaging them unfairly, plus they might notice it.

Keep your integrity in tact and do not look the other way . It is dishonest . Tell them exactly what is going on here and insist that they not influence you because you are family .Those boys should be told about sportsmanship and fair competition .They are getting started on the wrong foot in life .Also, your brother should be told about his conniving sons .

If you give them special treatment, they will continue to expect such, not only from you but from others. Do not help them cheat; it lessens you and it teaches them that cheating is accepted, as long as you do not do it often.Your brother may have done much to help you; you can easily repay him by teaching his sons yet another lesson about 'right vs wrong', and cheating is always wrong - and never harmless.

first of all you are some sick freak. Most of your questions are really wierd. Maybe you should try and actually get a grilfriend and stop telling a pack of lies to everybody. You need to get out more. How can you even ask a question like that, you shouldn't need to ask our opinion on a matter such as this cause i mean this is sick on so many levels. Your answer should be no from the begining. The fact that your enot sure whether to do this or not is just a proof of you needing psychological help.
