Post a dilemma here. (real or not)
I love learning how different people deal with situations.If you knew someone had stolen groceries to feed their children would you report them?
I guess it depends whether there is a genuine need…I have people who come into the shop who confide that things are financially desperate for them right now, bailiffs knocking at the door and so on, then in the next breath tell me what expensive gadgets they’re buying their kids for Christmas as they spend £40-50 on a necklace “to cheer myself up, you only live once don’t you?”…if I know the person I’ll hold back and ask if they’re sure, but it’s down to them what they spend their money on. If they then went on to steal groceries due to lack of money I’d find myself in a dilemma, sympathising with their situation but also feeling that they’re not really helping themselves to get out of it.
If there was a genuine need then no, I wouldn’t shop them, if I was there at the time and in a position to then I’d like to think I’d offer to pay (but until you’re in the situation you can’t really know what you would do) and if it was appropriate I’d try to have a chat with them to find out if they’re getting all the help that is available to them – for instance, there is a foodbank in the area for those genuinely in need but it doesn’t seem to be very well publicised.
Pssssst…Rusty, Words….I think Certy copied the article from the Independent…the clue is in the first line… :wink:
Talk about shattering my illusions…you’ll be telling me there’s no Santa Claus yet but I know there is cos I saw him standing next to the Coke truck! :P
Don’t laugh, this is serious…I was the baby of the department, I spent a year of my life avoiding this man as he tried to lure me into his flash car whilst playing Barry White music on his more-superior-than-anything-Lotus-could-provide in-car cassette player with the promise of expanding my horizons beyond the metropolis of Cardiff…and now he’s found me again! :shock:
The needs of the children must always come first.
I personally think that in this case it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Once they knew about the foster parents’ political affiliations they were on a hiding to nothing.

UKIP questions the idea of multiculturalism. It is not alone. That Trevor Phillips chappy (yes the former head of the Commission for Racial Equality) said that multiculturalism as we have practiced it has failed. UKIP also says that there should be limits on immigration. Again it is not alone. So do the Tories and – on occasion – the Labour party.
But it is multiculturalism that Thacker blathers on about as that is a cornerstone of the beliefs of the State employed managerial class. But to be consistent would she also deny Mr Phillips the right to provide a loving foster home mixed race kids as she has denied UKIP supporters? Of course not.
Why is it that loony left women always look like sour faced old prunes? Does that bitterness, envy and unbending need to interfere and control the lives of others just swell up in you so much that you end up as a distorted caricature: looking as ugly as your actions?
What on earth does what she looks like have to do with it? Wtf would he have said if it was a man? If you have a reasonable argument you don’t need to sink to this level. :roll:
