Thumbs up Hobbes thoughts? [Added]

I was wondering. I was reading Hobbes for a while and I dont understand what he would think if somebody cheated in something. For example, if they lied on their resume and cheated, how would Hobbes see it?? My friend did it and I was just wondering.

shenz,

I have not read Hobbes but he has the reputation of having a very low opinion of humanity,civilization tempers humanities dog eat dog competitiveness-------or the old proverb,big fish eats little fish.I some how do not think he would be shocked at dishonesty.
