Can you suggest some circumstances in which going back on a deal you made is not a dick move?
Personally, I can't think of any. If I make a deal, I stick to it, no matter how badly I may realise I've been shafted at a later date.
I call this honour, and I will not break it for anyone or anything.

What if your child was molested by a powerful political figure, and in a panicked state of fear you accept a sum of money to keep quiet...would you stick to your guns after realizing that this person needs to be outed, and held accountable for their actions? Would that be honorable to you?

I wouldn't accept any money for that. I suggest that only a fucking moron would. If one were truly in fear, money would not be required. If one were in a state of greed, of course it would.
LOL, I KNEW that it was only a matter of time before child molestation was brought up in this hypothetical.

Perhaps if I erased half my brain cells and switched from the spiritual path I have been trying to walk in this materialistic world and bleated like a sheep it would make the good Sir all of the happies?
I mean look; I ain't judging no one. I'm just saying what I would do, and what I think is right in these situations. Kiddy rape doth not right make.
People gonna do what they will, but this is my forum to speak my feelings about it.

You did judge Americans, though....the fact that OP happens to live in the states has nothing to do with him second guessing his decision to accept the $500. Could've been anyone, anywhere. I tend to agree with your overall opinion of America, but I think it might be misplaced in this situation.

You dont know this. Maybe Pumpjack drove like a maniac onto a oneway street and crashed himself into that car. The owner of that car has a very costly repair as well.
If fault is to be disputed here, perhaps OP is going to end up paying for everything himself.
There are usually two sides to accidents like this, and I dont feel like we are getting full disclosure here.
At the time it seemed like a good deal to OP
Yep, didn't think of that. Pumpjack, tell the WHOLE story!

I hear ya. But you surely can't begrudge me a swift jab at America. I mean anyone with any sense knows this place is fucking retarded.
I'm not saying much of the western world is any better, but this country takes the whole shebang to dizzying new heights of incredulity.

I called the local station and deputy shortdick stated the $500 bribe I accepted is acceptable and they will no longer report it.
I had the green walk man light. He didn't look my way when he pulled out because he was trying to beat incoming traffic once he made his right turn.
I'm gonna throw my new forks on it and keep trucking. Fuck the frame damage and my brain.
I'm doing well at work and need to focus back on it not happened Saturday.

He could have won big, had he not taken the money 
I think an exchange of money and a verbal agreement, witnessed by multiple people and on top of that documented for all eternity on this forum is legally binding
Now it can turn into a legislative shit-show lasting years

You were riding over a pedestrian crossing? I'm guessing maybe he wasn't expecting a bike to go across it, cause it sounds like he would have rammed a pedestrian, were there one there?

Thats gotta hurt

That’s the real victim of this tragedy. That, or OP missing out on his chance for serious pay day . I’d have no morals qualms with it if the guy in the car basically ran me over when I had the right away.
Maybe you’ve now encouraged corruption for a months worth of quality groceries
