Maybe I worded my response poorly. I wont compromise on things I think are wrong. For example let's say there's a drunk guy in the room passed out and his wallet is open and there's a $5 bill. I could get away with stealing it. But I won't because thats his $5 bill. Even if it wouldn't really affect him to lose $5, I wouldn't even steal 5 cents from him. And no one could make me do it. Thats what I mean by I don't compromise my values. Not "you told me please don't smoke around the children and I said fuck you."
Conversely if something I felt morally obligated to do was against the mores or rules, I would do it. There was a guy I knew named Nick and a guy groped his sister and forced himself on her, so Nick in response found the guy and smashed open a locker door with his head. You see what I'm talking about? Picking up what I'm putting down here?
Yes, I think this is a clearer, and better answer.
In a similar situation I would not be calling the cops on nick either.
I mean I never call the police. I deal with problems myself #1 cause I don't like the police at all (at least in my town) and because I believe in self reliance. But nick was justified. I hate sexual predators. I remember as a teen seeing guys groping girls in the halls or forcing themselves on em and it really disgusted me, to a violent point. They're scum.
To me if someone molests or harasses someone in a sexual manner, violence is within reason. Same with abusers btw. My uncle Frank had a daughter who was married to an abusive guy and Frank drove several hours to Buffalo just to brutally beat the guy with a metal pipe. This was back in the 1960s. Frank showed no mercy and I dont blame him. You wanna beat your wife, you better get ready for some violence against yourself.
