Where the hell did the 18 come from?

[ShepherdsDog]

Where do you see 18? DD pegged him some because he was critical of a report on antisemitism at a university in California.

People that come upto you and try to start talking with you on the street are as a general rule upto no good.

Oh for sure. When I first moved to Cambridge, all the people in downtown Preston that stopped to say "hi" or engage in some light, short, chit-chat were obviously asking to get shot.
When a city stages a major event, there's an atmosphere present. In Windsor on July 2nd or 3rd(depending on the weather), you can't go 5 minutes without someone asking if you're going down to the river to watch the fireworks.
It's a damn good thing the Americans that came over to watch the fireworks on our side didn't have your or Warwa's stinking attitude.

yeah....as soon as you finished basic you were promoted to Cpl.

Nope, took 3 and half years.
The regulare force doesn't give out the promotion to Cpl for non spec trades nearly as fast the Mo does.

In your own words

Outdated. By a few years, when I registered here in 2006, that was my rank. 6 years later that is no longer accurate. I've updated it however.

I've never once encounted a person on the street that I didn't know that talked to me that wasn't upto no good.

I'm aware that my own experince isn't a compleat data set, but for me when someone comes up and starts talking to me, I'm on the look for for a threat. Very old people, or someone that is clearly lost are about the only exceptions.

They're carrying the zombie gene, the government secretly created using GM corn. All that high fructose corn syrup they ingest is loaded with time released DEATH...time to lock and load .

Yeah, 'round here we call them Mormons.

Congrats on the quadruple negative. That was fun.

[sandorski]

It's not the people who talk to you that is the threat. It's the people who dare to look you in the eye as you walk by. Such a threat should not go unchallenged.

Mormons, JWs, Mentally..delayed(is that the PC term today?), children, friendly drunk guys, friendly drunk girls(not nearly as often), panhandlers, migratory homeless looking for "a few bucks for the bus back to van", salesmen, lost tourists...

Just a few of the kinds of people I've been approached by at one time or another. And I was a scary looking dude back in the days when I lived downtown. Shaved head, more shoulder than gut... and my neutral expression was generally kinda angry and unfriendly looking.

I have never encountered a person on the street that I didn't know that talked to me that WAS up to no good. Not here and not elsewhere.

Maybe you should move... To Mars.

I knew a girl that told me that she always had bad bosses... the reason was that she was a terrible employee. My ex-sister in law ALWAYS had problem neighbors, and always will, because she's the problem. So when someone makes a statement like this, look for the common denominator.
