i'm not saying NOT tipping off (sorry, i hate the term DOB - it makes it sound so much worse than it is) shows a lack of morals - but choosing to not tip off when you think something is suss means that your morals/values are different to those who choose to do it

for me, "dobbing" is saying that you believe this person is doing something wrong and you want them to be in trouble. it's what happens at school - you go and dob on the kid that did the wrong thing

a tip off is simply providing information and saying "maybe you need to look at this" - it's not necessarily going to get the person in "trouble" - some people don't KNOW they're doing the wrong thing and a gentle nudge helps to rectify the problem.

the only people who's morals i question are those that intentionally defraud the system - THEY are the ones with serious issues. i was just stating that, when it comes to the legalities of social welfare, i draw a very firm line in the sand, and if i suspect someone MIGHT be doing something wrong, i'll do a tip off. it's simply who i am. i would rather someone get found out now and sort it out, than to let it go and end up with massive debts.

my previous post may have come across wrong and i apologise to anyone that may take it as me meaning they have no morals if they don't do a tip off - it wasn't meant like that - it was simply to say we all have different points at which we say "ok, i'm going to do something about this"
