I think he has touched on something though - in the 'olden days' there was a sense of shame - you didn't want to caught up in crime because you didn't want to shame your family and your community (not articulating this very well). I don't think in reality fear is a good thing - but respect is. Low level crime such as shouting abuse - there used to be a day and age when you'd get pulled by your wrist to your parents who then gave you a smack. I know that's how I was brought up and it hasn't made me violent, it's just taught me respect. I think this crime, however horrible it is, is actually borne out of a lack of respect rather than malicious intent. They are just looking for the next laugh, and if that's smashing up childrens cemetarys then thats a failing in their head. I think in Britain today the family unit is weaker than it's ever been.
I tell you now, if I have children who ever do this they'll get a good hiding, and be better off for it.
There was no 'golden age'.
By the rich kid's of his day...........and what souls? Got proof of that, kid?
Meh, whatever, theres no arguing with fanatics or the insane.
And the relevance of this is? The only way I can read this is that you think that the internet drubbings you recieve is someway comparable to Christ's cruxifiction - which seems tasteless to me
Socialism? Where?
When where the better times exactly?
If some fundamentalist lunatics want to do that to themselves, it's a free country of course. Luckily for all of us this is not a theocracy and religion does not dictate our judicial system.
Except of course that you cant 'pay' for your sins by scourging, by my understanding only Christ can give you that.
I think that this God-less society which you go on about is not the fault of socialism... this country at the very most is social democratic but even then this is a term I would use loosely.
If you want something to blame about how society is a "pit of filth" blame the development of consumerism and the fact that everything can be bought... Capitalism in action.
There was no reference to people having a go at me on here, and certainly no way I'd compare that in any way to Christ's cruxifiction. Nothing could comapre with Our Lord's suffering and death in order to save our souls.
Sure, many child brothels in victorian London...
But there are bad trends to combat and good things to aim for, and it's generally not Sunday schoolers and girl guides who create misery on their estates.
RK look up "he who is without sin cast the first stone".
.. they also have an interesting stance on preaching the Christianity message...
Which is why he should Emigrate...
Lefty Namby Pamby RK? Go to a fucking Soviet Gulag why don't you?
it would never have crossed my mind or my mates to even vandalise a telephone box for fear of being beaten and then grounded for three months ...with no telly or other entertainments in the bedroom.
no there has never been a golden age but ...there was a time when cctv wasn't needed in the streets ...on your house ...in the car parks or in the friggin cemetry.
remember when shop fronts didn't need steel shuttering at nights?
