Oh god, he is like 10, don't get me started on his reading comprehension skills.

He takes what we say and misinterprets it, using it against us.

Then he uses lame insults and tattles.

LMAO that's so f*cking embarrassing! I can't believe there are people who actually talk/write like that LOL

Actually, one of the things I hate most about human culture is the prejudice against the 'snitch', a pejorative term I hate.

There is absolutely nothing the slightest bit wrong with appropriate reporting to authorities. In fact, society could do with a hell of a lot more of it, because there is too much of a conspiracy of silence against the police which is endangering the public.

In the UK, a gang of youths- between 12 and 16- beat up a university student on a bridge in London, and threw him into the river, where he drowned. The resultant case depended on the one of them who broke ranks and admitted the truth of what happened, finally giving comfort to the grieving family.

And what happened? Aside form going to prison, of course, he can never return to his home area because he is under sentence of death in his community for 'snitching'.

What sort of crappy bollocks is this? It starts with not telling anything to teachers- a factor that is in fact simply an extension of bullying, that charismatic troublemkaers make-up in order to make it seem moral for other people not to tell on them, and it ends up in the scenario I say above. That contempt for authority is in itself morally contemptible.

I also note that the person who decries the snitch is pretty damn fast to shop out his own friends if it is his arse on the line. In my London example above, you might have thought they all kept quiet except the one that told. Nope- they all blamed the others and said it had 'nothing to do with me', except for the one who told.

He is now suffering worse than all of them, because of this atrocious view of humanity. Really quite pitiable.

StaT1c. it only gets worse, more on that later in pm land.

Well of course there is nothing wrong in a "dire" situation, (term is subjective, but we all understand this).

There is something wrong with grudges, and people who take things out of proportion, it becomes annoying. Especially adults, we should handle some things on our own.

Now "snitching", or "tattletaling", is a derogatory term for persons, who like to instigate, and/or "help. It seems like its for a good cause, but its usually passive aggressive behaiviour in which the weak feels strong.

Alot of the reports on this forum are the equivalent of "Jimmy said shut up", or "tommy has gum in his mouth", I think we can all agree that.

WHO CARES!!

Again a dire situation is different.

Ah, but 'snitch' isn't used like that, is it? It eventually gets used as a term referring to anyone who goes to the authorities, regardless of the situation.

Until we end up in a climate of fear where only the bravest ever actually dare stand up and say 'this is wrong'.

The extension of the schoolyard logic of the snitch leads to very bad things. Obviously people who abuse the report system here should not, but nor should anyone be made to feel it is wrong to make use of it as appropiate- snitching or otherwise.

A lot of poeple are tattle tales perhaps thats a more acceptable phrase -

charismatic troublemakers are a problem look at hitler

Tattle tale is just another term that eventually gets twisted to be used in any situation at all. All those terms have no value.

Yes, of course. Snitch has been used like that, though I believe that whirly was more or less applying his experience with the boards, and he was implying tattling over a grudge or people who do it to get their "kicks".

However you have a point, but its a tad more serious than the manner that whirly has addressed it.

I agree here too. I myself have grown up in an area where there was trouble around the corner, my dad himself is a police officer, and has been for many years.

In fact, he has educated and tutored many of the "thugs" in the area he lives in, because he knows that they respect him greatly, and are sometimes the difference between a bullet in the chest.

Believe it or not, knowing these types of people can afford some protection, but there must be a balance.

Who's to say whats wrong though?

Who's to say the authority will take care of that situation correctly, because they always don't.

Prostitution is illegal and controversial, but pornography is accepted and a past time.

What if the laws are something we don't like, because of a change.

Jim crow laws? What about the laws the jews had to go through, or the native americans?

We don't tell to protect our families, and you and I know that notifying authorites should be used to discretion.

I am by no means a criminal, but I'm just saying there are two sides to the coin.

Yes, but if you can't work out that the concept doesn't apply when, say, resisting Nazi Germany, then you aren't really helping the discussion much.

In any practical sense, the authorities are the right people to handle nearly all issues 'snitching' refers to.
