mick1212 389 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 As I have grown up, I have come to the conclusion that the word 'grass' is used mainly as a tool by criminals and wrong'uns in general as a way of stamping on responsible and law abiding people so as to lessen there chance of getting caught carrying out criminal activities. If I see someone fly tipping, I don't think 'oh i'd better not call the police otherwise I could be classed as a grass', I think 'dirty f*****g scumbag, polluting my environment and the environment of other decent tax payers' and I call the police. If some scum bag is spraying grafiti, then I would call the police again. Grass is a low lifes word, I don't recognise it. Is it cold away up there on that pedistall............... No mate i'm not saying i'm an angel, but anything i may do wrong, i make sure has no impact on other people. If say someone does a bit of poaching, enters land without damaging fences, leaves the land exactly as found. Then i see know problem. Then again if someone cuts fences, drives all over land in a 4wd, threaten farmer etc then they deserve all they get. For me it's not so much about the police, it's more about the quailty of life of the majority. if you see a dog shitting your on the fone again i bet your blowers red hot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On one hand i agree that in certain situtaions something should be done, whether you inform the authorites about that is a different matter... I hate fly tippers just as much as you mate.....they dump shite around the forestry where i live when it would have been easier to take it too the local tip.. If i see a pile of rubbish around here i go through it looking for an address so i can load it up and dump it on the b*****ds doorstep, never found any addresses though.... I think we need to put into perspective though about dumping rubbish and flicking a fag out the window....i mean £75 pound for that? Where does that money go.........local councils xmas party...

fozzy41 9 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 As it has been discovered, i have no problem grassing. If i know someone is doing illegal activities as per Baghdanights thread when he threw a fag butt out the car the winged when he got fined. I agree that the word grass is used as a tool to try and undermine law abiding folk. At the end of the day you are either a law abiding citizen that wants to live in a safe clean and tidy environment or you`re not, but to slag off and call someone a grass who does isn`t on. Would you grass someone up if you knew they didn`t have car insurance, i would, because that same person could run into my car, cause thousand of pounds worth of damage and i would have to claim on my own insurance for it, and why should i abide by the law and other folk think they don`t have to. Would you grass on a family member if you knew they were downloading child porn, i would, because that could be my child or someones child being abused. That`s a few examples of what you think justifies grassing someone up, because surely, a grass is a grass whether its for throwing a fag out the window or reporting a serious crime. Most people live by a moral code which decifers which is right and wrong, so, you either agree that something is right or wrong, you can`t say on one hand that fly tipping is wrong but on the other hand throwing a fag butt out the car window is ok. Do i agree with "grassing"? Yes. fozzy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One thing you have on your side is you can probably handle physically 95% of the people that you may have a problem with. What about a single middle aged woman that has anti social neighbours, what is she meant to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Its just double standards with most folks, if something personally effects them then they no doubt grass, but then when it isnt there issue or problem & someone else grasses there the scum of the earth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats my whole point,im not saying its right or wrong im saying its within some people to have the capability to do it...for others its not......i wouldnt be capable of doing it if and when im a 90 year old man in a wheelchair.....its nothing to with anything physical,it doesnt take anything physical to lift a phone .....but i still couldnt do it.
