How many students at our school have you seen put on a second face as soon as the people around them change? Even I have to admit I would be sent straight to it if I was judged by Dante's version of God. Many of us are so similar to the frauds we see in circle eight. I could name at least 20 people that I know that flatter simply to receive what they want.Chris Bodanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353335189325693826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-12181834538046364412008-10-29T20:10:00.000-07:002008-10-29T20:10:00.000-07:00To me athletes that have used steroids and other p...To me athletes that have used steroids and other performance enhancing drugs are some of the worst frauds that my generation has encountered. These men are ones that we as kids grew up idolizing, we as a generation were lied to by our so called sports heroes. To me this is more then just a lie for their personal gain, but could even be considered betrayal of our trust. In my opinion this is the biggest fraud that I have witnessed in my lifetime.Owen Doanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546446461237434300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-20753906539659569562008-10-29T19:57:00.000-07:002008-10-29T19:57:00.000-07:00The man off of the BET gospel infomercials is defi...The man off of the BET gospel infomercials is definatly a fraud. He hold these big events with hundreds of desperate people and claims to perform miracles. He is able to call out someone in the crowd and uses his divine powers to automaticaly know what sickness the person has. But a couple of years ago he got busted. They intercepted his wife telling him all the information through a mic, which he could hear from an ear-peice he had on. So he was a fake. And on top of that he's recently been back on TV selling "miracle cream" that helps heal anything.Dirty Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776043695841690023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-10949456188329121262008-10-29T17:42:00.000-07:002008-10-29T17:42:00.000-07:00modern day people who I would consider frauds are ...modern day people who I would consider frauds are baseball players, especially Rodger Clemens. I looked up to Rodger Clemens when I was little and now that he was in the news about steroids, he has disappointed me. Although he has not been found guilty for using steroids I still believe he did because when he was with the Red Sox then when he was traded to the Yankees he somehow all of the sudden he throws like know ones business.

I think this because well obviously you are cheating and you have an unfair advantage against the rest of your competators, but if you are someone of professional athletic status there are so many people who look up to you! I think that people who use performance enhancing drugs to make them a better athlete should be ashamed of themselves becasue not only are they hurting themselves, but they are hurting the people who look up to and beleive in them!zach schwartzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285679759902516683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-36791589417877249032008-10-28T16:52:00.000-07:002008-10-28T16:52:00.000-07:00Miss.

He had very little truth to accusations he made of certain people being communists. After the first couple of trials, he noticed that he could say anybody was a communist and people would believe him. So he started accusing people for the stupidest things. For example, McCarthy accused J. Robert Oppenheimer of being a communist because Oppenheimer said that America should not go to the extremes of building a hydrogen bomb. (Oppenheimer was a central figure in the building of the atomic bomb, so he knew what he was saying).Cody Stewardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659385919247871085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-263520798895914912008-10-28T13:18:00.000-07:002008-10-28T13:18:00.000-07:00Martha Stewart was convicted of securities fraud w...Martha Stewart was convicted of securities fraud which carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a 1 million dollar fine.

For example, someone like Chris Angel. You could claim that he is a fraud, because he is not really sawing someone in half or levitating on the tip of the Luxor. You could say he is a fraud because he isn't <I>really</I> a magician. Chris Angel never claims to be a magician however. He only claims to be an illusionist. This does not mean that what he is doing isn't dangerous however. He <B>is</B> at the tip of the Luxor, he just isn't necessarilly levitating. This doesn't mean he is using trick strings either.
