They seem(ed) to have basic common sense about who they would speak to...you know, by "profiling"...ahem... which is what people mistakenly call "stereotyping." It served them well -- they never reeled in any "bad people" that I can recall.
There's usually nothing inherently wrong with profiling. Works for me, too. Granted, it did pis* me off when my Mom was close to missing her plane because she must've looked as the biggest terrorist alive... There were 2 foreigners that morning at the airport and both were "randomly" selected.
I talk to strangers all the time. Sometimes the people just give off an aura of needing someone to acknowledge them with a smile. Figure it can't hurt and I may get a smile in return. Too many people are too isolated in society.
That is the caring and sensitive attitude I want see more of in City Data forums. Good for you future 1.

Being in a big group of people makes me twitchy but one on one I can talk to anybody and often do. .
If Im at the Doctors on in line at the grocery or in the waiting room at the garage or where ever I always end up having a nice chat with some interesting stranger. My husband would always ask me . Do you know that person. Noooo.
Do you talk to strangers or do you mind your parents and keep your distance.
Lord, honey, Im from the South. No one is a stranger. I just had a conversation in the attorneys office with somone I've never seen before about my raccoons obsession with tampons!

LOL, this was a good laugh in the morning, 2mares! Thanks.
Your welcome. You should have heard me and my girlfriend giggling (mood enhanced) when she went to the potty and noticed tampons in the litter box and asked if my coon was on the rag.
Well, maybe you had to be there.
