The considered approach

[col]

Mr Paul said " I thought I'd start a conversation".
If starting a conversation was the same as having a go at some one then I think there would be a lot more flattened noses and cauliflower ears to be seen around.

What do you think he actually meant by saying that? Its a great defence clause using the letter of the sentence used, but we all know what it really means in most cases. And wanting to be a busy body or a@rs hole who thinks they can question other peoples ways, then whinge on places like this when someone takes a real offence to it, should learn from their own mistaken attitude that people just dont like being questioned by others over their actions. If you feel that strongly about wanting to point other peoples mistakes out to them get a job in the police force, or better still get a job as a special, they dont get paid and are keen as mustard too.

Just in case you didnt realise, questioning people about what they do because you dont like it is antagonisitic in itself, but then you knew that anyway didnt you. And trying to camoflage it with a smile is the worse type of antogonistic behaviour there is.

No, most people turn a blind eye to it. It's the police's job to do policing, surprisingly enough - hence the name. Imagine if it went the other way - everyone tried to police any minor misdemeanours they see whenever they can - it would be chaos! Everyone would be applying their own interpretation of justice and their own judgement on guilt, and a whole range of countless different punishments being doled out from the hip left right and centre.

I think that is part of the problem of today - in the past everyone knew everyone else, and would have been told off by more than just the police for minor offences.

People currently believe they can get away with (most of the time), parking on the pavement, jumping red lights (cars and bikes), breaking the speed limit etc - and most of the time they do. I'm not saying it was perfect in the "olden days" because some unfair punishments would be handed out too - just that there was a bit more respect around.

Well, you should know about that, since it seems to be your major tactic.

What was that you'd just posted before this one, Col ? Oh yes -

If you had a think for a minute bonj you'd see that his response was fine.

Read the OP again and you'll see why.

Just click on one of those links and book yourself in. 90% of the battle is admitting it to yourself! Go on, you can do it. We're all behind you.
Once you get in there and they're all sitting round in a circle and you take your turn to stand up and say "Hello, my name's Paul, and I'm ANGRY." the worst'll be over.
