I don't disagree with protecting children, but perhaps this discussion will be read by someone who will pause in allowing their golf cart to be driven by someone who is too young or by someone who might endanger their grandchildren.


It is a cultural difference we are discussing on whether it would help to yell out a criticism. Whether it would make them think, or just **** them off.

I wonder if it would do both. My initial reaction to someone yelling at me would be anger. But I would spend the rest of the day going over the incident in my head, and maybe some enlightenment would occur. Or maybe I wouldn't do that child-in-cart thing anymore just because I know what people are probably thinking.

If chatbrat said something, it might change the way they do things. If he didn't say anything, it definitely won't.
