P16LET:
In some odd way, this post can almost be brought full circle........

If any of us sat for long enough and thought about what really ticks us off...smoking, spitting, loud music, errant pets etc....and my own personal hate, fly tipping, then it wouldn't be too much of a leap in the thought process to realise none of it is cured by banning it.

As LSP so elooquently put, it is more of a tolerance issue, but further to this, it is also a matter of respect. If generations of people hadn't been raised to believe that they had a god given right to do things their way, regardless of the detriment to their fellow man or their environment, then perhaps the world as a whole would be a nicer place to be.

As a small child I remember my mother making me walk what seemed a very long way at the time, to retrieve an empty crisp packet that I had dropped in the street a short while earlier...my lesson was learnt and I have never dropped litter since... :oops:

...and whilst staying on the family maxims, my father imparted this gem of wisdom that has always stuck with me..
..."it doesn't matter what you wear, what you say or what you do, just never intentionally give offence".....which in a nutshell I think means spare a thought for everyone else before you do something....

So, the moral of all this is.....well...I'm sure it has something to do with stable doors and bolting horses...  :shock:  :wink:

Not in my book! I find it offensive and a risk to health. I would deem it an offence under Section 5 of the Public Order Act, and yes, I have lifted someone for it!
If we want a better society, you have to start somewhere!

Boggert:
I never ceases to amaze me how people get so wound up about nothing, then it results into a fight and everyone is carted off in the van to have brunch at nik.

Is it worth it I wonder on a daily basis.
The lad that is tossed out the night club because his girlfriend has taken a shine to some other bloke, justs wants to kick off and fight everyone... why??

Yep I see things that bug me, but its dosn't make me want to take on the world and go around smacking people.

Lets all just chill and relax for a bit. :wink:

Now do I sound like Neil from the young ones or what! LOL :lol:

mike142sl:
