Is this even cheating anymore?

Throughout my school and college life, I have seen and heard of newer and newer ways of cheating and getting away with it. However this story adds a new meaning to the word cheating.

Its so bad, its truly funny. In my SSC exam I have had the invigilator come to me and ask me for my answer sheet because some other kid didn't know how to answer a particular question. The reason people get away with it is that everybody seems to think that cheating is just a natural extension of how "we are as humans, we are as society" and how it apparently proves that our education system is catered towards the wrong things, prompting people to cheat and get away with it. All crap--poor excuses from spineless people who browbeat their way ahead because they lack any substance or character. Only a miniscule fraction of those who cheat really have no other choice, the remaining use that miniscule fraction to explain away their dirty ways.

I wish all the cheaters stop blaming their parents, their (lack of) intelligence, their poor and unprivileged background and the "world we live in". Cheat and thou shall be punished. I'd like to see a revenge of the nerds beating up those who cheat their way to success. The reason why cheating is proliferating is that most of the times it happens without any consequence. Well, let's create consequence. Hammer one cheater in public and his brethen will get the message. Don't worry about whether your conscience is absolutely clear or not; when you see a cheater being punished (even by yourself) your conscience will awaken automatically. Its time we stop accepting lame reasons and hold people accountable. Challenge the person who cuts in line, challenge the policeman who asks you for a bribe, challenge your colleague who offers one, raise your voice when you reply to a bribe request for everybody else to hear. There is no hypocrisy in challenging cheating--it is good in the absolute sense. If we search for that one other pious person who has never cheated in life to challenge all cheaters, we prevent ourselves from reforming into that person. The next time a person scoffs at you for doing things the honest way, just say "why not, what is the harm". It is indeed a sad world when one feels ashamed of being honest.
