    About bull****???

    Seriously. Looking at Kagy's Thread and then at Rocket03

    Where we would not narc out the Drug infested teenages IN FACT almost half would not even say anything to them about it.

    And the same seems to got for the old racist redneck.

    ARE we so weak willed and sorry b*stards that we hide behind phrases like 'it's not my business', etc?

    The old folx may have stood for some bull**** but they stood for it.

    I mean if the guy beating his wife next door . . . how many folx would call the cops? How many folx would think the guy who called as a SNoop, NOSEY NEIGHBOR, etc. We would rather someone die in the 'hood than be considered NOSEY [BTW when did being nosey become synonymous with being concerned?]

    Well, I'm not a US citizen, but I guess I'm pretty tolerant, especially of bullsh*t, as demonstrated by my response to this thread.

    There's a bit of a difference between a man beating his wife to death and a couple of kids smoking grass. I think Kagy did the right thing: let it go the first time around, and call the cops (or parents if possible) when it becomes a recurring problem.

    I'm not sure how these statements fit into your argument. Are you calling us old racist rednecks?

    Who are the "old folx?" What does the second statement mean?

    Well . . I think i will take it out [emotional response ;)] The 'old folx' are those people from BACK IN THE DAY 50s 60s maybe even 70s. The Old Racist Rednek thing is in reference to another theory.

    The point is. . . That nowadays we seem to not stand up for any of our principles, ethics, or anything. We so afraid of being wrong that we don't do anything.

    Is it better to call the cops 5 times for nothing and on the 6th time stop the guy from beating his wife ?? or just say HEY it ain't my business.
