All good points; thanks guys.
Before I wrote my post, I had doubts as to whether it would be a good idea to buy this particular domain. It seemed like a risky thing to do, and most everyone here confirmed what I was thinking.

FIRST and foremost – IF you have previous knowledge of the other website then YES I would consider it unethical to register the similar name. Moreover Id say youre not very creative in that it wouldnt be very original. I agree. And I would just like to make clear, for the record, that this is not what I was doing. I was brainstorming domain ideas with the godaddy website. When I find an available domain that I like, I check to see if similar domains have been registered. In this case, the domain with the “s” at the end was registered. So, I went to that site to see what it was like. I could tell almost immediately who owned it.
If it’s done by accident, that’s understandable. But I agree, if possible you should try to avoid registering a similar domain.
Thanks again everyone.
