What Would You Do...??

I know what your thinking,  you think I'm going to ask what would you do in my situation. Not this time.

I'm watching ABC's "What Would You Do" and find it absolutely appalling how people treat each other in this day and age. I didn't see it from the beginning but I came in when they had this young, attractive woman sitting at a bar on a first date. When she got up to go to the restroom, her "date" slipped something into her drink. There was a lot of people sitting around the bar but only 1 woman confronted the guy (of course he denied it). Then when he stepped away and the young lady was back, she told her about it.

The 2nd setup was an actress playing a Muslim woman just trying to buy something in a local cafe. The guy told her to get back on her camel and leave. This woman was wearing a head scarf but other than that she spoke perfect English (better than some of the rednecks around here) and she was an AMERICAN. Most people ignored the rude clerk but finally a few customers stood up to him.

Then there was the one where a person fell on a busy sidewalk. People stopped to help the woman almost immediately, but as soon as they had a disheveled actor carrying a beer fall..nobody at all stopped to help him. Then a homeless woman standing nearby begged everyone to please call him an ambulance, still everyone ignored her until one woman finally stopped and helped out the guy laying on the sidewalk. Once she started helping, then others stopped to help. Why didn't they stop before? Just cause he was carrying a beer and looked homeless?

Right now they have a "polygamist" setup going on. Crazy...this girl is only 15. Luckily, a woman sitting nearby heard the young girl begging the others not to make her get married and comes to her rescue. Over 100 diners sat near this woman during the scenario and must have heard what was going on with this "child bride" but only 4 people came forward to help.

It just amazes me that most people will just ignore someone who is in trouble. Is it because they are afraid of getting involved and being sued?  Society is in a sad state.

Just in case you wanted to check it out for yourself..here is the link to the show...
