So how many "wrongs" make a "right" in your world Joe? You can't justify bad behavior by pointing out more bad behavior. Baiting people with a fake "Century 21" sense of security would never be tolerated by Century 21 corporate stateside- but in Mexico it is just seen as a bad business deal. How does Century 21 repair it's image now Joe?
