I'd sure hate to live next to someone as anal as you. Apparently it was daytime, so why not just chill out a little? It's one thing to find music annoying when someone's listening to it. It's another story entirely when the stereo's owner has left completely, which mean's there's NO purpose whatsoever for the music playing. Don't you think it's a bit arrogant to assume that the whole world wants to listen to your music? It's just as arrogant to assume that you are special enough to take matter's into your own hands here and attempt to play God. |

Bob Dimond I'd write down the name & reg numbers of boats like that, for two reasons. First, report him to the marina's manager. Second, if you ever run across that same boat in an emergency, you can ignore its owner's calls for help, and do whatever you can to make his boat sink, burn or crash upon the rocks more quickly. There's an entire class of people who simply don't deserve to continue their existence. You would ignore somebody in an emergency over petty-ass bull**** and help their boat sink, burn or crash? Really? And yet you tried to prove that I am ignorant in some earlier debates with you? Hoo boy. You are a real piece of work! Thank gawd not all folks are like you. I certainly can understand being a little miffed at the circumstances involving the docking and resulting loud noise however you are not God and you don't get to pick and choose who doesn't "deserve to continue their existance". Only a real heartless lout would ignore somebody in distress if they could lend assistance. Not only that it is the RULE of the Sea to lend assistance. Hopefully you don't really behave this way and are having a bad day and blowing off some steam? If not then you don't deserve to be called a boater or a seaman. I'd have to ask a Buddhist, but maybe I *am* a Buddhist, because I believe I am god, just as we all are. Some people are meant to be exterminated. People who "share" their music are in that group. |

Look at it this way: I began teaching my son to be a good neighbor when he was old enough to carry on a discussion. Now he's 14 and he realizes it takes absolutely zero effort to live harmoniously (except for the farting contests he and his pals conduct in my living room). But, when you run across a scumbag who pretends his **** don't stink, you can be sure his parents didn't say one word to him about living among other people. Result: You have to "help" the scumbag overcome 18+ years of neglect in the wink of an eye. This is not to say that I won't give someone one opportunity to learn The Good Way, but one is my limit. So let the "scumbag's" boat sink and they can drown right Dougie? Why not just kill em' all and let God sort em' out eh? Are you the same child who suggested a hand grenade? |

If my paragraph, above, makes you think of violence, YOU are the one with the problem. All my criteria can be met non-violently and legally. In a radio interview a couple of years back, our county district attorney described how satisfying it was to see Bob the insurance broker in a courtroom convicted of DWI & vehicular manslaughter. The look on Bob's face when he digests the instantaneous reality shift is priceless. Horrifying and shocking for poor Bob, who left a pile of **** behind for someone else. Violence never needs to enter into the reorientation of bad citizens. To remove a dog from an irresponsible owner requires 3 complaints in my town. It doesn't occur to most of them that the 3 complaints can be lodged in 2 days and the dog removed on the 3rd. Horrifying, shocking and insulting. Priceless. No violence involved. When you are a victim, you'll admit to enjoying swift justice. |

Ya, here again we have an example of the tolerance and humanity of liberalism. If you see a cat about to pounce on a bird, do you go out of your way to stop the event? Firstly, I don't equate human life with animal life as you have done by your asking this assine question. "assine" ??? Secondly, I take no pleasure in the imminent death or suffering of another human being (or animal), as it appears you do, simply because they have in done nothing more than **** me off with noise. Turn this around. Do you personally suffer if you're watching a nature show on TV which shows lions eating gazelle, or owls & hawks eating rodents? You're a selfish and tightly wound individual, Douggie. Keep it up and you'll certainly cross the line from using the law for your vengeance to vigilante. Turn this around: Your neighbor's driveway is right next to your bedroom window. It's winter. His muffler goes bad. He goes to work 3 hours before you need to wake up, and likes to warm up his car for 20 minutes. So, instead of waking up at 6:30, your normal time, his noise is waking you up at 3:30. You figure most people might not find the time to get their muffler fixed right away, so you let it go for a week, maybe two. You ask him politely when he's getting it fixed, because you're getting sleep deprived. He says "Hey...maybe next week. Sounds cool, though, eh?" Another month goes by. Somehow, the cops haven't ticketed him yet. You ask him again when he's getting it fixed. He says "That's none of your damned business. Kiss my ass". What do you do? By "you", I mean YOU PERSONALLY, not "people in general". This actually happened to me! First of all I live in a duplex in an older neighborhood where the houses are less than fifteen feet away from each other with a driveway within that space. The older kid next door had a two cycle Suzuki motorcycle. From early spring until late fall when it wasn't raining, he'd walk the motorcycle out of the garage at 6:30am (1.5 hours before I rise) and start it up. Since it would stall in gear if it wasn't warmed up, he spent five minutes reving the throttle. Since it was in the driveway between houses, it amplified the sound. When I finally saw his parents in their yard, I mentioned the problem and asked if he could walk the bike the extra forty feet, so it was in the front yard and not between houses. In addition I asked he let the bike idle warm instead of reving the throttle. They apologized for the problem and directed their son as I suggested. While you could still hear the sound, it no longer startled you awake. By contrast, I have a beater Geo Tracker with a loud exhaust. The car has almost 180,000 miles, so I have no plans to pour money into this car. When I use this car, in an effort to be considerate, I start the car and leave immediately. If I get home after 10pm, I either park on a side street and walk to my door, or shut my engine off and coast up the driveway. If someone came to me with this car as a problem, I'd give them due consideration, patching the exhaust, parking on the street, or dumping the car. I think the point alot of people are missing is you have a small minority of people who behave without regard for anyone around them. When they are confronted by others being impacted by their lack of consideration, who try to reason with them in hopes of working out your differences, they either still don't give a ****, or worse, get outraged towards the person they've impacted for not "letting things slide". I don't agree with Doug's specific comments about ignoring distress calls, or watching a boat burn, but then again, I'm not taking what he says literally as much reading in stating two underlying points: 1. It takes so little effort and time to show consideration for other people. 2. You can't go through life not giving a **** about the people around you, while carrying expectations that everyone should give a **** about you. When people forget or ignore these simple truisms, which IMHO are needed for society to function, all bets are off. Forget them and antagonize someone who is having a bad day, and bad things can happen. When bad things do happen to the social offender, while the punishment might not fit the crime, I have a hard time considering them to be the victim, so in an effort to avoid these "bad things" I would suggest: 3. Never assume somone's inconsideration towards you is a deliberate act. I personally will act with goodwill and assume the person committing their offense to me is goodhearted but oblivious as to their actions. As such, I will ignore it if it is the first time the offense occurred with that party, if the action could be deemed as non-deliberate, AND the action doesn't persist for a great deal of time. If those criteria are not met, I will tactfully talk with them in hopes of reaching a solution. Sometimes the solution consists only of hearing a reasonable explanation as to why the offending behavior is occuring. Should these steps fail, I'm moving further into Doug's camp. Oh I won't ignore that distress call or refuse to help save their boat, but when I help them, I'll be reminding them who I was and how they offended me, smiling, knowing there's a little divine justice in my small corner of the world. In addition, should they continue their actions, I'll do whatever is necessary to lessen their action's impact upon me, stop their actions, or teach them consideration, regardless of the consequences, as I have absolutely no desire to live in a world where inconsideration for others becomes an acceptable behavior. In the case Doug presented, should I go through all the actions he described: Tolerance, communication, inaction from the authorities, then being told to screw myself. It will come down to three choices for the inconsidrate *******. Fix your exhaust. Compromise with me and learn to leave quickly and get use to being a little less comfortable on your drive to work in the winter, or be alot less comfortable changing tires in that same winter climate. For those who think "rubbing their nose in their own mess" is wrong for dogs or people, I've trained several dogs, and many people (when I had to) that way, and they seemed to learn the intended lesson just fine. For those who spout asserting my beliefs will eventually lead me to be victimized by a CCW, it is noted. But then again, I may have a CCW too and *I might* just be a quicker and better shot than the inconsiderate ******* I'm trying to reason with, so I hope any inconsiderate *******s take note as well :^) Bob D. |

Doug Kanter wrote in message ... Are you saying that if someone doesn't need punishment or consequences to live peacefully, they are mentally ill? It's probably a cultural thing. In Henry's cowtown, it's probably fine to take the six gun out to the backyard and get a little target practice in before dusk On the other hand, at the yacht squadron I frequent, certain civilized behavior is expected. Members would consider it bad form for some inconsiderate lout to blast his radio, disturbing the peace & quiet of other members. I never said that it wasn't bad form or improper and inconsiderate to behave so badly Donnie. I also live in Sugar Land. And no, one cannot take firearms out into the backyard and practice with live rounds. Not even a BB gun for that matter. You have watched too many westerns on your boob tube. However all kidding aside, if you're defending a vigilante elitest who admitting would ignore (and means it) a boater in distress and would let them sink or die. Then you are no more worthy of being called a boater or a seaman than he is. Do you even understand the gist of this debate or thread here Don? |

Does the "average" citizen look the other way while a boater in distress sinks or worse??? Sorry but your backpedaling just doesn't fly Dougie... |

The difference between being a victim and an overzealous complainer is often a matter of subjectivity. Some people bitch a bit too much. Learn to cut some slack and deal with it. Don't sweat the small stuff. If a dog takes a dump on your yard, just clean it up. I have a neighbor who has declared war on dog's "going" on his lawn. The reaction from most of the rest of the neighbors range from his being overly sensitive, to being "a complete nutcase". You don't make many friends when you complain about other's habits. I had a neighbor once who would **** on your car door handles if your dog crapped in his yard. Scary fella. Someday, someone might take issue with one of your "piles" (Which you will be shocked to learn actually bothers someone), and will cry "foul". Eggzackly! Dave |

You're a ticking time bomb. Did you say you work for the post office? -- Charlie No, pal. I'm your average citizen. If my paragraph, above, makes you think of violence, YOU are the one with the problem. All my criteria can be met non-violently and legally. In a radio interview a couple of years back, our county district attorney described how satisfying it was to see Bob the insurance broker in a courtroom convicted of DWI & vehicular manslaughter. The look on Bob's face when he digests the instantaneous reality shift is priceless. Horrifying and shocking for poor Bob, who left a pile of **** behind for someone else. Violence never needs to enter into the reorientation of bad citizens. To remove a dog from an irresponsible owner requires 3 complaints in my town. It doesn't occur to most of them that the 3 complaints can be lodged in 2 days and the dog removed on the 3rd. Horrifying, shocking and insulting. Priceless. No violence involved. When you are a victim, you'll admit to enjoying swift justice. You must think we're idiots. You're no average citizen. You're a ticking time bomb and when you explode the newspaper will quote neighbors wringing their hands and saying, 'We had no idea'. He is a certifiable menace that's for sure. And he certainly doesn't belong on a water in a boat. In many threads you have advocated violent actions against people or animals you believe to have violated your personal space or rights. Keep back-pedalling though. -- Charlie |
