We need rules about how to treat other people though e.g. don't victimise and bully autistic people (or other 'different' people) 8)

Here's the rule we need:

Don't be a dick. It's simple but surprisingly effective.

Oh, and, welcome to the site.

'Should be common sense' is the exact phrase. So many people don't have common sense or empathy, and think bullying and trolling is fine.

Common sense used to be a good thing, but is todays common sense not good sense at all because the masses seem to be easily manipulated by the media so common sense now is what the media say.... Which sometimes makes no sense at all to those who see how brainwashed they are.
Guys and gals. We need a new term which makes sense instead.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This seems to me to be a very insightful way of approaching to what the media has claimed to appear as common sense .

So true. The media, in Britain anyway, is in control. Most people are brainwashed by the tabloids, which are under the control of one guy and his entourage. It's so sad to see this happen and has led to the mess we're in now.

Welcome to the wrong planet at WP.

I share your assessment of the wrong planet, my towel are always ready if I find out how to get out off this place.
And dont panic :D

Dont you worry even if you put your boot where the mouth could be, just remember that people are people and we all have different knowledge, feelings, traits, .. the whole shabang so to speak. Also edit is open to be used if something goes too wahoonie-shaped. Wish you a nice stay at WP.

Hahh! I'm old enough to remember how news was when news was remotely connected to reality, and articles was written by ppl that actually had knowledge of stuff. But I live in Norway and this please is not at the senter of events, I think for lots of Europe and America it seems no-one remembers, they are ahead of the curve compared to my location.

Maybe we need a rerun of the Enlightenment? I carry a candle as best I can.

I did some work at a telco company on the chalk north of Southampton.
Relay nice people there, and the landladies I B&B at was awesome people.
Another memory is all the flint gravel, and the flint nodules used as decoction, In Winchester old town and abby it was everywhere.
As you said I'm from Norway and I haven't seen flint here ever (The stone age should be called The flint age '')

The thing that really boils my noodles is people actually know this, and they still cant think themselves outside the box.
Thankfully a lot of people are starting to podcast about outside of the box, but the same happens there as in oldstyle media, trolls and grifters or click baiters of all kinds use any lie available without shame to gain some money. People are fooled by this even faster than before. AAAGGHHHHH!!
