So, here's the situtation:
My "friend" sort of "cheats" on homework assignments. For example, we had to interview people, and he just made the whole thing up and got an A on it (everyone got A's but he's pumped that he faked it and did). Now, historically, he's been good at "fluffing" papers where he does shit for research and just stretches things he already knows out.
My question is, should I continue to let him do this, or should I say something?
One thing that pisses me off, is that he does this, and occasionally gets higher points on some assignments than I do. I mean, I try actually do the full assignments to get the grades that I do, and it seems that it's under-minded by the fact that he just throws whatever shit he wants into a paper for the same assignment and gets an A.
I guess part of it comes from the fact that he's been "handed" everything pretty much his entire life (in fact, his parents pay his rent), whereas I've worked for everthing I have, so he doesn't really see any reason to not take the easy path. I just don't understand why some people cheat, in the end, they are only cheating themselves.
However, at the same time, he has expressed that he has no interest in moving up in the world. For Example I asked him to remove a video he had me tagged in because I was applying for a job (and he did), but he said he would never want a position where they'd take something simple like a video making someone look stupid seriously.
Now, my issue is that I've tried to live by a specific ethos. Specifically:
Loyalty
Duty
Respect
Selfless service
Honor
Integrity
Personal Courage
And now, I'm conflicted. I feel it questions my integrity to not say something, but at the same time, it questions my loyalty to my friends to say something (this guy is VERY well liked, and I'd lose about half of my IRL friends, plus be stuck with 2 pissed roommates for 8 more months).
Basically, I'm looking for suggestions on what you guys would do in this situation to guide to to either saying something, or what.
