Do Gooders

They really get on my tits

They are everywhere and people will always make cock ups and need help and that is fine, but people who continually make cock ups and then make excuses for it really get on my norks

Why is it that people make excuses for people who have no social skills or struggle to put a point accross, saying things like "he is just misunderstood"?

It happens everywhere, in the big wide world and on oople , some people learn from their mistakes and others want other people to accept their mistakes and excuse their behaviour

[shanks]

Im with Lee on this one.

Sometimes people do need to learn from their mistakes....

People learn they have made a mistake by consequences they incur...

No consequence - no understanding of their mistake = nothing learned!

[CBRDEAN0]

There is a growing cultural trend for people NEVER to admit to mistakes !

The highly profitable compensation culture is fueling this trend.

excuse their behaviour? If I think of the most disruptive and offensive person ever on this forum, one name comes to mind, and it aint VXL boy by a long way
Perhaps you're right though, I should stop making excuses for this person and make him stand up. Eh..... ?

I know you mean me in that Jimmy and it's fine, im sure i do appear to come across as a cock on here but people who know me as a person know that i am only joking and 99% of the time it is tongue in cheek.

I assume you've never dealt with a dyslexic (ironic "sic" against that word!!) then? They are not "just s**t at spelling and can't be arsed to learn", but the effect is the same as in this case and is at least 50% the cause of the issues people have. I don't know about you, but I can make a distinction between do-gooding and simply Not bullying someone, posting private email addresses and asking people to spam them etc...

We all josh about a fair bit, but for someone hardly any of us know this has gone way too far. God knows what new ooplers think of all this!

[stampede vxlboy]

what a pratt he is

[dave-p]

SPOT ON DAVE , RIGHT ON THE BUTTON.
IT SEEMS WE ARE BLESSED HERE ON OOPLE WITH A FAIR FEW 100% PERFECT MEMBERS WHO NEVER GET ANYTHING WRONG, ( THATS WHAT THEY LIKE TO COME OVER AS).

Forget for one moment any of the past threads and anything to do with Stampy. Im talking in general here .....

I`ve had several young school leavers train along side me in my job. Of four trainees, only one could read and write to any standard. Im not talking about reciting Shakespeare here, just basic stuff. These lads were 18 years old plus school leavers. What the feck have they been doing for the past 15 years or so ?

Now, is it just me or does anyone else get bored of listening to people play the Dyslexic card? I dont doubt for one second that some folk far less fortunate than myself are afflicted with this condition. However, it does feel a little like many use it as an excuse for being a little lacking in grey matter or social skills in general.
Lets say for arguments sake that 1 in 20 are genuinely affected to some degree - i dont know, why is it everyone whos lacking in some way tags themselves with it as an excuse ? it drives me mad.

As i am told and understand it, it means that if affects your ability to read and write. Fair enough. That excuses the layout and spelling. What medical term can you come up with to excuse the content ( or lack of ) and timing ?

I am less tolerant than some on here, i know that. This isnt aimed at any idividual or Oopler, im taking of society in general.

My youngest brother is dyslexic, but it is something you can work around, if you are dyslexic, it doesn't automatically make you a retard, yes you have trouble with spelling and constructing sentences but it doesn't make you spout bullshit and disregard anyone who actually tries to help you, on numerous ocassions i have tried to help "the stampster" out but he just ignored it and then asked the same question a week later only to ignore other fellow ooplers.

And then we get someone trying to impersonate bloody ghandi who comes along and says "oh hang on lads, it's not his fault, he's misunderstood, maybe the rest of the world should change to make his existence a little more chirpy"

For me, all he had to say was thanks lads, it's been great to hear your opinions but i much prefer bashing etc. Instead, the poor lad comes on here and because he has bought the wrong car (maybe) for the purpose he required he then goes onto slate how expensive the hobby/sport is.

It wouldn't seem so expensive though if people earned a living instead of flicking between Jeremy Kyle and homes under the hammer.

Anyway that'll do for me for now, it will be interesting to see how long this one lasts before it gets deleted
