I read Al's post without any prompting. I still say that statement makes no sense (sorry Al) I know what he meant, but as Detente pointed out, it is somewhat off topic.
The subject was valid and very much food for thought. The op seemed willing to discuss in an adult and informed manner. I too was dismayed by the response to his thread.
Koni, this is so true. Real life decisions ARE made on here based on what we read. Sure some of it is b******t but we come across that enough in r/l. Its up to us to sort the wheat from the chaff, as it were. If we dont give any credence to anything posted on here, whats the point of it all? I know some people are on here for a laugh and dont take anything serious, but some are looking and watching and maybe ready to be very serious indeed.
How anti social does some one have to be to lose their home? I would say they would have to push it to the limit and beyond. Sometimes intervention is the only way, especially for the unfortunate people around them.
The people we are talking about here are creatures of habit. They habitually get drunk, curse and swear, make inapropriate gestures, fight amongst themselves (and others) and genearally piss off everyone around them.
Fortunately they habitually frequent the same places, so they are easy to avoid. I just feel sorry for the people who are stuck with them, for whatever reason.
