An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
"I don't see what the hag is the problem. If people don't give up the seat, as a preggie, you can ask for it. I'm sure people will give up their seats.
Don't always assume automatic giving up a seat as a privileged right. The preggie have to endorse the power of responsibility to the person whom she wants the seat from - by asking.
There's studies showing someone fainting on a bz street. More than likely no one is willing to help that person. But if the person endorse the right and call for help, that person will most likely receive help. Bystander's effect you can call it."
Should our society be degraded to a point where people will only show kindness when they are asked to? It is not about rights. It is about compassion and kindness. If people have to be prompted to do good, our society will become very passive and never be able to reach self-actualization.
