It today's society kids are taught to tattle instead of keeping thier mouths shut. I see it even on this website. What ever happened to keeping your mouth closed and not ratting on people. If this website were the mafia then many of the people would get clipped.

I think this along with kids playing pokeman instead of collecting baseball cards are the problem with today's chilren and why many kids are so wierd today

 

"Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut"- Jimmy Conway

It's acceptable if you have to. Everybody's got a price, you know.

Where I came form, the worst thing you could be was a snitch.

Same with me but not a lot of people on this sight.

I'm snitching to the spelling police. With spelling that weird I'd be proud to be a stooly!

Reminds me of the final scene in Scent Of A Woman.

I think where you grow up makes a difference. The rules in 'the hood' are different than in the burbs I bet.

I gather someone snitched on you recently.

What exactly is the hood? I'm from the "mean streets" of Chicago, does that count?

what are you talking about? who on this site is snitching on people?

I'm from the mean streets of Buffalo Grove, it's sure tough out here.

........or at age 43 sitting in a van, down by the river.

B&R, is this some sort of social commentary or is there an actual meaning behind this. What constitutes as snitching? When is it telling the truth when asked? If you had a son or daughter, and they were in trouble at school for something someone else did, would you be mad if he/she "snitched" on the person who actually did the deed?

 

What does pokemon or baseball cards have to do with snitching? Not much, if anything.

 

I teach my daughter accountability. That doesnt mean she should go around tattling on everyone who did something wrong, but you havent set many parameters on "snitching".

A bit of a tangent, but Humphrey Bogart's credo was "Never rat on a Rat."

 

He was, after all the Papa Rat of the Rat Pack.

No one likes a snitch, anywhere, but it still happens. Usually kids grow out of it. But if someone pops me in the mouth, I sure as hell will say something. If some kid cheats on a test, they can deal with it if they get caught.

Snitch? You mean like that cabdriver that told police where he dropped off that runaway convict and his guard killing wife? Damn lowlife POS tattle tale.

Exactly what I mean. Nothing wrong with ratting on someone when its actually important. If little Johnny broke my pencil, I'll deal with it.
