then excuse me that i don't understand the word correctly a snitch after my understanding is someone who permanently spy's on you and gains either a profit or comfort out of 'reporting' you...
it is not someone who is helping someone in need. such as a discrimination or harassment.
or am i wrong regarding the meaning snitch respectively the expression 'grassing someone up'
please correct me, to me people who do that in order to gain a personal comfort, or profit are the worse characters ever on this planet. YES!
A "snitch" is simply someone who informs on another of something (usually a wrongdoing).
It seems clear that you think snitching on someone discriminating is helping someone, yet snitching on someone for stealing would somehow not be helping someone. Strange.
So either you don't think stealing is a crime or you just have relativistic beliefs when it comes to "wrongdoing."
Whatever works for you. But for me, either all laws should be upheld or none should be upheld. (And I mean
none, as in things like murder and cannibalism should be ok.)
OK, then i misunderstand the term snitch.
and i don't believe in equal laws or actually any laws except my own ones (yet i have no interest in pressing them to anyone). that might sound very strange and is probably only possible to get across / explain over a hell lot of contradictions (welcome to the real world!) and at least 3 nights of talking to each other.
plus: maybe as strange as it might sound i am very sensitive towards it, my home country f-up twice with a lot of help from 'snitches'
the 2WW and the GDR are great examples what those people are like, i rather have them not.
and people rather learn to respect themselves, therefor automatically not stealing or doing any 'wrong' very idealistic, i know, but better IMHO then what we had before...
