As far as Harry and Meghan are concerned they put themselves in the public domain and therefore they open themselves up for debate...just like Katie Hopkins, Piers Morgan, Katie Price, to name but a few. No one seems to come on here and say we can’t pass comment on them because we don’t know them personally....but if you want to put yourself out there then there will be people that like you and some that don’t...that’s life.
All Sheriff was doing was giving us a scenario to give us something to debate..harmless debate.
We all have an opinion on people based on their actions...that’s why this forum can be good fun.

And all that is fine. What isn't is people saying that saying its none of their business is holier than thou or not valid That is their opinion which is what we have been asked to give.

The thread asked for our opinions, I gave mine and was called a monkey (???) But I'm holier than thou....whatever

I really don’t think he called you a monkey....you surely know the point he was making...

What point was he making?

Hard to speculate on the motivations of the harlot - maybe it's attention geared around being treated terribly in the past, maybe she's a sociopath, who knows?

Those dudes though...get some self respect.

I'm not calling you anything. I just don't think it's a coincidence that they've suddenly started doing the river dance.

By being 3 monkeys in one....refers to ‘see no evil’ ‘hear no evil’ and ‘speak no evil’ in response to your stance of turning a blind eye as it’s ‘none of your business’.....
...and I’m not saying you are blind in one eye either

How am I turning a blind eye? Is a crime being committed? I wasn't aware that not being interested in other people's relationships was wrong

It’s not....
It was just a scenario that happened to be happening to people he knew..Sheriff put it up for debate. He wasn’t asking people what they would do or how they would handle it...Had he...then your response would have made more sense.
No doubt many of us would have said the same thing...it was simply an innocent discussion.

But do you not think Kate that by saying it’s no ones business is a bit of a put down to anyone who has given an opinion on a scenario on a debate forum.
I mean it’s not like we are going to get ‘involved’ or going round their house to tell them what we think..

but if you honestly wouldn't get involved if you knew the people personally then why can't you say that without being called names? Its created discussion which is the point of the forum anyway

I didn't say it was no ones business, I said it wasn't my business but apparently I'm not allowed my opinion on what my own thoughts are. Maybe I'll just stop replying to Sheriffs threads in future
