Society...the rules, drug rules, people should be given the right to smoke cannabis if they want, it should be made completly legal, just like alcohol.
Robbings and the height of crime now...you always hear of someones house getting broken in to, their car stolen, beat up.
But when it comes down to it we don't live in too bad a world, it could be worse and in say 60-70 years we'll all be dead and gone from it.
Fornication is now seen as normal, instead of something to be frowned upon.
Petty crime is rife.
Violence in schools is a common occurence.
Reports of people being arrested for posessing child porn appear almost daily in the tabloid press.
No-one respects teachers, policemen and other authority figures anymore.
I could go on. Western society today is a cesspool of sin.
I hate the fact that I AM NOT FREE to smoke what I want, drink what I want and have sex with WHOM I want!!
I HATE the fact that I HAVE to surrender a proportion of MY money to the government in the form of taxation! A free society respects property rights!!
I dislike those who dont want any change....
Oh right yeh because the government's never done anything for you! :rolleyes:
I hate the binge drinking culture in Britain. I walked through this indoor complex of bars and clubs in Belfast in a fairly sober state at around 1am recently. There were arseholes fighting with themselves and security, girls crying by themselves and people generally in sorry states against walls. It was sickening!
I mean, I'm all for a drink and enjoy getting drunk, but to get so absolutely hammered that you lose all control and endanger the welfare of yourself and others is a disgrace!
European countries like France and Italy have the right idea by introducing their kids to alcohol at an early age in a controlled and responsible way. It removes the taboo image we Brits tend to associate with booze. Many Europeans consider it ridiculous it get floored like so many of us seem to!
couldnt agree more;)
:yes:
The one matter that I'm thinking about lately is that people (mostly women, I've noticed) seem unable to accept their physical self and feel a need to look different than they are. Plastic surgery of many kinds, hair dye, colored contact lenses etc.
I'm sorry in case I offended anyone by this, I really don't mean to. It's just the way I see it.
I don't like that either. But I'd analyse it further and ask why some women feel the need to do this.
How isolated people are becoming.
Pollution.
Lack of respect for nature.
Plastic.
ALso the three things Blagsta mentioned: materialism, consumer-society, and capitalism.
Lack of foresight is probably top but then that has always been so, as has greed, hypocrisy etc..........
People being either not paid enough for what they're worth or criminally overpaid.
The Sun and Rupert Murdoch's political sway.
No respect for authority by youths.
"Townieism" and polarisation of youth cliques.
Charity canvassers.
Drug dependance and abuse be it alcohol, tobacco or anything else.
Feminazism, the misandrist wing of feminism.
The BNP.
Liberals.
Conservatives.
Champagne Socialists.
Welsh and Scottish Nationalists.
Little Englanders i.e Richard Littlejohn
The NUS.
Private education.
Religious Zealots.
Decline of British music and arts.
No respect for nature or the environment
Positive discrimination.
Whinging motorists.
Decline of manufacturing and no one seems to care.
I think that covers it.
I hate the way people walk about without looking around them and thinking how great the world is.
I hate the fact that people are prescribed pills for everything.
I hate the way kids are being raised to see life as something that treats them like shit instead of celebrating life.
I hate Pro- lifers.
And people who use the words 'do-gooders'
farmers who hold the country to ransom over fuel prices ...fuel should be even more expensive ...it is a very precious comodity.
What do you mean by this??
well, in fairness. it's not the kids fault.
Selfishness
Boy bands
I hate people who get drunk and fight.
I hate people who try and fight me as a 6'4" person is a "challenge".
I hate people who look down on me because of my job even though I do it because I like it.
I hate people who hate other people for no reason
I hate people who sterotype unneccisarly (sp)
Bopz
Go back when I was a kid doors didnt have to be locked, churches didnt have to be locked.
In todays society nobody is safe day or night.
