The Horror

[Shazbut]

Listen guys - I am drunk, okay? I am drunk because today I had a bad experience.... I realised that alot of people just dont give a damn anymore.

I watched a couple, obviously in lust with each other (sorry, *in love* with each other) walking down a pavement. An old lady was walking the other way. She had to step off the pavement and into the paths of fast cars because those two lusters (er... sorry *lovers*) couldnt find it in their freaking eyes or brains to realise there was another human being on the same path and move aside to let her pass.

Basic human kindness and basic *POLITENESS* seems to be a thing of the past.

I dont base this RANT on the one incident above - I have noticed over the past 20 years just how much we are deteriorating into a society of selfishness, non-compassion, non-empathetic, aggressive, indifferent and very apathetic society.

Isnt the western world supposed to set an example?

Wasnt 9/11 meant to unite people, but instead we throw accusation, mistrust and hate at each other - we trust no one.

Remind me that you guys actually give a fuck??

Shit, I'm pissed! (alcohol induced rant, as well as angry!!!!) :mad:

Did you ingest alcohol before this incident?
because honestly its not too big a deal. one person moves out of the way for two people. makes sense.

No, it hit me just how *non-thinking* the human race is becoming. Watchng the scene of two people walking down a path and not moving over a foot for someone else just seemed to confirm in my heart just how *non-thinking* and/or discompassionate people are becoming. The path was big enough for 3 people astride; the couple hogged two thirds of the path and the lady had to step down into the road to pass them.

Come on, its basic politeness to move across to allow others to pass, surely?

Maybe its not a big deal to you but that couple didnt give a fuck - period!

But this rant isnt just about that particular incident - the basic *dont give a fuck* is happening EVERYWHERE!

[bloody_ribcut]

this reminds me of some robbery footage i seen where this dude beat up and robbed an old lady checking her mail.

[crabapple]

Oh, I know what you're saying, and I see this too.

BUT, there's a way you can do something about this!

Go out there and be nice to people! Be friendly. Help people. Especially, help people less fortunate, if you can.

Show the people out there that there ARE people who care. Be one of those people.

I'm trying to believe that *there is still some good people in this world"... I truly am!

I think that's why its unsettling me this way... being *aware* of just how unkind or uncaring alot of people are these days.

I am one of those kind ones but its tiring witnessing the non-thinking that seems to be escalating of late!

Sorry, guys!! Alcohol induced sadness!! once I'm sober, I will think the same way, just wont vocalise it so *in ya face!! :o

[VampiricClown]

You type pretty good to be drunk.

Other than that, yes, I see that numerous times a day where I live.

[the_real_linda]

oh my the world has gone to hell..........slight sarcasm.....


everything changes....always.......why do we think things used to be better or should stay as they are now?


pah! its like the global warming bull crap thats all lies, wer meant to heat up...and cool......... the earth cant stay in one state....

[stubbornforgey]

The western world has gone totally arrogant towards each other..but this
was apparent well before 9/11

a poem i wrote 2 yrs ago..[shortened version]

I asked the lord on bended knees
some questions from the heart..
there were so many stored in there
not knowing where to start..
I asked about the child
and asked..how come they suffer more
and although treaty's have been signed
some countries still at war..
I asked about my fellow man
and why he doesn't care..
for when he passed a crippled soul..
he simply ..left him there..
The lord looked down and said to me..
theres not much i can do
have tried so hard..have done my best..
the rest is up to you.

Beautiful and very true....

That's a great poem.

In the sober light of day, I would now like to take this opportunity to thank you for those wise words above.

They were beautiful - THANK YOU

Basic politeness has gone....... that's a fact.

No, the world's ecosystem will naturally burn itself up with volcanic eruptions and bush fires BUT the human race is accelarating this burn up with pollution and the pawning of the environment in general at a very fast rate.

We can bury out heads in the sand if we wish to, but the waters will rise and we will drown in the end.

No one likes doom and gloom but we really are buggering it up!

[stubbornforgey]

If ppl want to see the effects of global warming in action....hunt down
an article in recent months about the ice that had broken away from the antarctica and floated for 5 days in NZ waters before melting completely.
They were large enough to land helicopters on.
Also the strange weather pattern we have been experiencing..
our summer ..we had nothing but thunderstorms and floods.
Trust me..global warming is at its best in our small country.

Hoo!
I'm part of a couple, but don't get me started on the annoying shit you see outta others. I mean to begin, if your relationship is more'n a year in and you're still not over the whole "allover eachother in public" thing...somebody's got security issues. If it's friends doing this it's like...take it the fuck outta our faces, yeach!
I guess one part of what you're getting at is the hand holding thing. Now, it's just not a viable option in anything other than a relatively low populated area...with people in front and behind you trying to walk it becomes an act of inconsiderate asshole, regardless of intent. They're either stupidly oblivious or rude. Both annoying.
Some couples get this...I know not many, but yknow, here's to avoiding that blanket.

[Despare]

Wow, I'd love to go back in time and see this magical place where everybody was nice to each other. Oh wait... it's never been like that. Either Grog trips Cronk so the Mammoth didn't crush him or Sir Blowsalot slices up Sir Hasnopair because of a maiden. Most people suck, they always have, they always will.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I don't see the problem here.

Hi! Lil miss..... runs away for EVER

Oh, let's not just pick on the lusters here!! My point was about the lack of consideration and courtesy in general.

Couples; gangs of kids; people walking their dawg's....... the list goes on!
