When Does Ones Opinion Cross The Line??

[MissPlaced_56]

On the news tonight was a story of a woman,who

has decided that it's her place to "Get the message Out"

Her Message is about childhood Obiesty ,so she has decided that for halloween,when obese children come to her door for trick or treat,that she's going to give then information about obesity.

 

Now for me this begs the question..IS she kidding??..seriously???

 

Who appointed her the obesity police??

 and on halloween  of all times!

Does she not understand that this is really NONE of her business??

That by singling out these children, she's only hurting them!

holding them up to redicule one more??

 

if this is the way that she feel's, thats fine...

BUT then why not just turn her porch light off and not participate??

 

quite frankly,these folks that feel the need to intrude and try to force their opinions on other's are wearing a little thin with me!!

and their rarely thought thru....

just looking for their 15 minutes of fame???

 

comment's are welcome!!

 so what's you're opinion???

Not only is she being critical but she has an issue with control.

Usually when it is not in agreement with our own.....

 

We all tend to draw lines at different distances.

When asked why she couldn't simply refrain from handing out any Halloween candy, Cheryl said she doesn't want to ruin tradition or miss out on the fun.

 

Sounds like a pretty selfish reason to me.....

media attention.....also sounds like she is looking for her 15 minutes in the sun, and as usual this comes at the expense of vunerable children....

 

ty man for the link to the story.

I don't think it is only her problem...the media that zeroed in on this story should really be looking for more news worthy stories...not wasting paper on people like this...but of course, we don't get the real news anymore...just junk like this.

As for her...if she lived in my neighborhood I would be handing out treats at the end of her driveway...cans of whipped cream and bottles of chocolate syrup...sprinkles...so that the kids she's hurting can dress up her car as a big fat chocolate sunday...lol!

I agree. Many people think that standing on a street corner and preaching is one's opinion crossing the line. And many people think placing bibles in hotels is one's opinion crossing the line and forcing others to conform to a certain belief. We do all tend to draw a line based on our own biases and tolerance levels.

I don't agree with what the woman did but I wouldn't call it forcing her beliefs on someone. She is not advocating for a law nor is she strapping people down and forcing them to listen to her. She isn't even following people around and harassing people. It doesn't even sound like she wants bad things to happen to obese children. She is giving letters from her own door to people who willingly go to her house and they can either accept the letter or reject the letter. The parent (who should be with the child anyway) should decide what to do with the letter. And the news team just wanted some fresh meat for ratings just like they always do so they equally willingly chose to broadcast her. No one actually forcing anyone.
