When we had dances, we had to leave “room for the Holy Spirit” between girls and guys when dancing...maybe that’s what they’re talking about
I went to public school in Lutheran country. Every Thursday, instead of going to SCHOOL, we went to the Lutheran Church for Thursday School. I doubt if they have that today. I would say that we were better off for it too.I went to Lutheran gradeschool.
California Socialists.The last few LTC classes I've noticed more young folks who have a misunderstanding...
Going over the use of force they think that if someone is in their personal space it's ok or should be okay to use force.
I ask them what is the legal definition of "personal space"? The say within 2-3 feet. I say no, what is the law's legal definition of personal space? Of course they say they don't know...I explain to them there is nothing about "personal space" in the penal code. Legally "personal space" doesn't exist....
Someone can be toe to toe...nose to nose to you and you cannot touch them over words alone.......
Where are they getting this "personal space" crap?
I've no idea what the previous means but I'm quite confident the latter is wrong. YMMV of course.I went to public school in Lutheran country.

Good example Ben.Regarding personal space - Many years ago a case made national news because it went against the legal notion that there is no personal space.
Caveat - Yes, I know this is the wrong jurisdiction and civil court. I'm not talking legal specifics; I'm talking principle.
In New York, a man's leashed doberman attempted to attack a woman on the sidewalk. He stopped his dog in mid-lunge and the dog never touched the woman. It came very close. The woman jumped back (a reasonable startle response), tripped, fell, hit her head and was injured. She sued.
The defense was that the woman was never touched and therefore had no grounds. The court found in favor of the woman and awarded some damages.
My point is that everything has limits. Yes, there's no legal personal space. But if you get in someone's face and act sufficiently foolish as to convince that person that an attack is imminent, don't be surprised if "I never touched 'em!" turns out to not be an impenetrable legal shield.
Obviously, IANAL and no, I'm sorry, I can't find a cite. I'm working from memory.
