Man alone in Dulwich park playground (Lounged)

[heartblock]

Hey Kid.. leave it. You are right, but don?t poke.. you never know what someone has gone through.ok.. over and out.

[yeknomyeknom]

No. You misunderstand. I think this thread is about the unknown potential of a man alone in a children?s area, flouting by-laws.

Children have a right to feel safe in areas set aside for them.

I haven?t condemned you at all. I haven?t said anything about you. I enjoy freedom of speech and differences of opinion. Your joke about a dog called dickhead, whilst a sore point, is admittedly very astute and funny. You have said about me that I?m picking holes, you?ve said I?m condemning you, you?ve called my words gutter philosophy, you?ve said I?m speaking arse about face, you?ve implied I know things and am not admitting to them. That?s fine, I can take it. But I haven?t condemned you at all.

At the end of the day Children are taught in school as part of the curriculum set by schools about stranger danger with specific examples given about men alone in parks.

Parents are told by schools not to stand at the railings waving in at their children because they can?t always be recognised as parents. The children in turn are being schooled to call a teacher immediately if an adult is seen at the railings during non pick up times as they could be ?stranger danger?.

Our children are being taught that an adult alone in a children?s area could be a threat and to report it. It?s not about this man being threatening. It?s about children, in their designated area, having the potential to feel threatened.

Works both ways though. So I?m facing this casual nit-picking robustly.

I was up in Scotland for a funeral a few years back. In a small town close to my heart. After taking a stroll down memory lane and to the harbour I walked back through the town and came to a park and football pitch with kids playing - probably under 10's. I stopped for a while and had flashbacks to my own childhood and of playing Saturday games like this on muddy pitches, quarter oranges at half time and unnecessary sprays of Deep Heat. Drifting off into my thoughts I was roused by two dads 50 yards away talking loudly - "Whaes that c%$t? Ah f?$kin dinnae ken - some Paedo eh?".

I was a bit pissed off. But it didn't surprise me. Shame though eh?

[KidKruger]

At least they didn?t call the bloke ?suspicious? then spend ages skirting around the subject of exactly why, THEN when someone says Oh you mean a ?P****? they accuse them of throwing the ?P? word around !

Gotta love the Scots, no spineless pussy-footing.

Once they would have thought you were a scout for Celtic or Rangers.

so 'I know it seems over the top but i felt uncomfortable' is spineless pussy-footing?

and calling someone 'paedo c*nt' is lovable?

what a strange person you must be

[KidKruger]

Not what I said, that?s what you just said. Your conclusions are shit.

This whole thread has been skirting the ?P? word, but not quite mentioning it - that?s what I?m on about.

What a strange person you are - the thread has mentioned the ?p word? lots and your just said ?gotta love the Scots? (in response to some people calling someone a ?paedo c*nt? but perhaps you don?t remember what you?ve written or you just can?t accept that other people being uncomfortable doesn?t have to relate to any specific threat

Have you never advised your own children to be cautious of strangers even if they don?t know for sure that they present a threat?

Or do you warn them more about ?paedo [being] mainly a family game? and that strangers are never anything to worry about?

[KidKruger]

Like I said, shit cherry-picking conclusions. Again.

Dodging direct questions again - do you know the difference between questions and conclusions?

Classy swearing tho

Think this thread should be lounged personally

[jacqueline25]

I remember being at ruskin park paddling pool years ago, man sitting by himself lots of people panicking somebody called the police, after 5 mins his wife and children turned up followed by police, poor family so embarrassing.

Lounged - This thread has served its original purpose and is becoming a bit caustic.

There was a great episode of the IT crowd where Jen is going out with a chap called Peter File. Moss says "that's unfortunate, you could pronounce that as pedophile. Or in America pedda-phile."

Cut to the last scene and Jen is in the airport with said Mr File. An airport announcement goes out calling for Peter. "is there a Pedophile here". Penny drops... "taxi"
