    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    good report - though, do you really think that the positive police response is to do with the income that the Caminos bring? Surely not - would you not find the same positive response away from the Camino? I think so. :wink: As for the things those sad men do - why on earth do they do that...

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    I think you may be doing the male members of the Spanish police a dis-service. Any report of a woman being harassed or attacked would be met with a strong and positive reaction from all available police in the area. Male police are men. Most men are good men. Men have mothers, sisters, wives...

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    I saw a murderer with his dead victim in France once and didn't report it to the police. I was driving a van done to Albi and stopped on the motorway north of Bordeaux to check a noise on the van. I idly looked over the motorway wall and was looking at the view. The motorway was high there and...

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    In situations like the one you post I thank God that I am not a woman. A woman just walking down the street is stared at by passing male motorists, a woman going for a drink alone is considered by some males to be worth 'chatting up'. It must be really difficult, sometimes, to be a woman. Men...

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    Ah, I see. I think there is an error here. Just my English way of writing perhaps? The fault is mine. I actually wrote "if anyone has any problems with the things I write" which means, if anyone has any problems with the things I write would they pm me rather than offering personal insults in...

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    I too was trying to lessen the tension. The topic had been responded to, a balance had been set (the Chinese man was likely to be trying to get to bed, the hospitelaro is an honest and helpful chap, offers of lifts are not uncommon, just because of rare possible problems this is not a reason to...

    I have so enjoyed this thread, the cut and thrust, and how it rambled on, marvellous! - travelling to unexpected places - great fun - but I think I shall drop out now. :wink:

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    Friend of mine a few years ago, independent woman in her fifties, woke up in her bedroom at 3am to a terrible pounding on the window. Her bedroom door was locked - she looked across and there was a naked man just pounding and pounding on her window. She tried to ignore it but eventually got out...

    oh dear, the base of Marxs' assumptions was that human hierarchy is naturally horizontally structured therefore the vertical hierarchy we all live with was imposed by a few. But if you actually look at humans you will see that hierarchy is always vertically structured - all attempts at the...

    good stuff Falcon, very enjoyable - we do surely all know this already - but it isn't about any of that, it is about the inner, not the outer - if you go inwards you will find that the argument isn't an argument at all, it is quite clear - I don't judge, you know, I merely state my position -...

    Divine Providence/Crop Theft

    Falcon, a nice construct but we don't know what it was like before events were recorded in the last five thousand years - what we do see from earliest times are societies and property laws similar to ours now. 50,000 years ago humans slowly emerged from Africa, mainly via the coast eastwards...

    Yes, John Wayne - also a spy for the FBI for 25 years, attending parties and then reporting on those who he thought had 'communist' sympathies - interesting man - I love his later Westerns for some reason, not sure why. Stealing fruit - in Saint Augustines' Confessions he spends a long period...

    Otherwise known as 'Big Marion'. - Crikey!

    Caution for female pilgrims around Boadilla del Camino

    Well reported - rare of course, but not rare enough, they give men a bad name, men like that, but every garden has at least one serpent

    picking up the thread .... that taking of fruit .... the morality, legality, ... Mother Teresa said that "Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand" :wink:

    Shakespeare wasnt privileged enough to have these words at his disposal but im sure Julius Caesar might have uttered them had they been in his lexicon as in.... "OMG Brutus, WTF dude SHEEEUUUUTTTT!" :lol: 2B or not 2B ?
