I would never report anyone--those are their mistakes--not mine--they can live with the decisions they make...so long as I am not in the car during a drunken speeding drug deal with counterfeit bills that would result in me getting shot...there did I cover all possibilities??? if you were meant to be a tattle tail, you would be wearing a butt-plug tail....

1. selling drugs - I don't care. The CIA sells drugs. I don't associate with addicts.
2. about to commit violent act - I'd need more info, this one is a maybe.
3. speeding - You must be joking or a half-wit.
4. bank fraud - Con the con men? Don't care. Wouldn't want to know.
5. drinking and driving - I'd take their keys away from them and try to talk some sense into them. I don't associate with drunkards.

In actuality I don't keep people as friends if they get involved in stuff that creeps me out and they feel the need to tell me about it or somehow to include me in the circle of those in the know.

speaking of creeping out....I occasionally dream things that later happen (can't spell it...but de je vu?)  and I've read this post before.  Apparently, SMC you are in my dreams!  Go figure.

Back to the post.  While I chose to wonder how in the hell the OP could include speeding with those I also simply don't associate with those who go against my grain, so to speak.

Status: offline 		If a drunk acquaintance was determined to drive home, damn straight I would call his license plate in. It would save his life and that of others if he got sober because he was hauled into court.

I'm not putting speeding with the others, and besides without proof it wouldn't do any good, maybe he was just blowing off steam when he said he planned to kill his boss. Now if I knew details such as where he was planning to do this, saw the gun etc that would be different. But like the others, I don't associate with people like this.

Status: offline 		 If I saw child abuse I would report it.  If it was a friend or family member who was doing it, I would break their jaw first and then report it. 

As far as the other offenses listed, it would all depend upon the circumstances.

Status: offline 		1) Wouldn't care unless he was selling to people I do not want to have drugs
2) Would depend upon whom. If it was not someone close to me, then they need to understand the consequences of their actions. The world can be a violent place, it is a fact of life that will always be there.
3) they should understand the consequences of their actions
4) This involves deception on a large scale, and if that is part of who they are, then I don't want to be their friend. Honesty and trust mean alot to me.
5) take their keys from them. They had the choice to drink, but once impaired, they need someone else to make that decision for them

Status: offline 		Child abuse and spousal abuse has some very wide defintions depending upon circumstance and area. Is spanking your child, abuse? In some areas it is. Is raising your voice to your spouse abuse? In some areas it is.

Status: offline 		This is a good point in fact. In some states you cannot consent to assault or physical harm of your body by another, unless it is sporting events, which have a special clause. This means that the legal and ethica; defintions of such things as the word "abuse" will vary, so a definition of how we are going to discuss it, needs to be established.
