Someone had already responded to Lookout post and as far as I could tell if wasn't dissimilar to yours - well the bottom line anyway.

I find it strange that posts like this are removed. It makes me wonder if the person removing these posts is acting out of bias or prejudice?

You will find that threads never stay on topic here and that conversations about the same exact thing can be repeated in different threads.  Perhaps you are thinking of a different thread where this happened.  The only thing I noticed be deleted recently was the poll thread.  I was curious as to why since I had not seen anything nasty the end of the night then when I came on in the morning (your afternoon) it was already gone.  I wondered if I missed a fight.

There wasn't anything particularly nasty, it just wasn't going 'their' way  ;)

Wrong thread... It was the other thread. I detect bias and prejudice and lots of it.

I think some posters don't understand the concept of being objective. When posters compare something from their own  lives you can't help sense they are being guided by their own emotions as opposed to logic and reasoning.

that works both ways  because posters are constantly doing the same to prove his guilt .

And if you are having a go at me I said I probably would have dialled 999.

But my example was true and does show that people do not always do what is right or correct when under pressure. In all sorts of circumstances - not all have such tragic circumstances.

I responded to you earlier and my post has been removed. Your example was subjective.

Logic and reasoning - If the scenario on the recent tragic murder in Glasgow is proved to be correct - would anyone one logically get in a car with a complete stranger and go back to their flat with them - a question I asked some work colleagues - you would be surprised ( or perhaps not ) about some who said they would .

I am not talking here about a moral question but reduction of risk - so even on a basic decision like that you can have varying reactions/arguments.

Yes, Jan. It happens all the time, especially at that age.

You originally posted about your own personal experience and comparing it to JB, hence being subjective.

Jan something strange happened here. I would have thought any guy who would let a young lady out on her own in the early hours is not a gentleman he could have walked her home or rang for a taxi :(
