...and to think, people ask me why I live in the middle of nowhere. It's because I saw this coming years ago.

I must admit that I'm a bit stunned by our politicians claiming that "respect is earned" and condemning theft. That's part of the problem, how can we respect them when they steal off the people in expenses scams that should put them in prison, then evade justice and give themselves a pay rise through the backdoor. Hypocrites, pure and simple. When that's the example set by the leaders of our country what should the youth do? Follow suit?
And I would urge you not to believe the media in the UK too readily either, they are notoriously dodgy bastards controlled by politicians and bankers.
BTW gertsy, did you know that upwards social mobility in England was faster in medieval times than it is now?
Anyway, at least one good thing comes out of all this. We're not likely to get a second term of Tories.

The only thing that surprises me here is folk being "shocked" & "appalled" by this latest storm in a teacup. If you are "shocked & appalled" then your either too young too have experienced what I have said above or you're so old and senile that Alzheimer's has set in and you've forgotten that this is just part of life, always has been and always will be... ;)


...and when we find that we are no longer shocked or appalled we find a stillness inside, it's called apathy and it's a big part of the problem too.

Not true... like I said there is nothing new or surprising in recent events, it's just part of human nature and therefore if that is a "problem" then the best solution for it is, quite simply get rid of all the humans and leave the planet to the more intelligent creatures like Loins, Monkeys, Fish, Birds & squirrels... ;)

"Apathy" is people who post comments on such things but then go about their daily business doing nothing about the things they comment on, somehow in the belief that such comments will change the world. That's real "Apathy" and unfortunately that applies to most folk on this planet... ;)


Get rid of the people? I take it this is sarcasm.  I agree that this is nothing "new" or "surprising". That does not mean that it's not appalling or shocking. You say that this is just part of human nature as if that makes it OK. It does not, that people suffer, that they go hungry, that those who lead them are poisoning them in body and mind, that they are robbing them and quoting hypocrisy, that they feel the need to express themselves through violence, that is not OK, not at all. Is your faith in human nature at such a low ebb? For goodness sake man, you need to get out more, talk to more people. People in the bus queue or at the supermarket, your neighbors, your co-workers, family and strangers alike. Most humans are good inside, they may be angry or confused or messed up in some way but when you talk to them you understand why. Everyone has a story to tell and time after time you will find that the problems they have come down to very few root problems in our society and that those problems are caused by a tiny minority, a greedy, ruthless and sick minority. Humanity as a whole is worthy I assure you, it's only a tiny few that destroy it for the rest of us. You say that the majority are apathetic, I say that's rubbish. It's not apathy that they spend most of the week to earn the food on the table, it's survival. It's not apathy that they zombie out in front of Eastenders or football, it's brainwashing, it's the hormones pumped into the food, halogens in the water supply and control of human cattle by the media, keep the people chasing their tales and they don't look up. That's classic propaganda, classic control by those who have it all but can't find it in their withered corrupt souls to share. We have enough on this planet that none should be hungry, homeless or without hope. Wake up and see the bars, your a citizen of a prison planet just like the rest of us.

With so much owned by so few, it's not management that's to blame, it's higher up the chain.
