… and it may get worse..
We seem to be following the weather..
More extreme each year..
I am very surprised there’s anyone left wishing to be a nurse, doctor, teacher etc. When we pay them so poorly, while some botoxed-up person with fingernails like claws, type up garbage on the internet and are making millions as “influencers”!
This morning I read an article by a “celebrity” stating he lost weight the honourable way, through hard work as opposed to taking Ozempic! Seriously?! If some people choose to take pills or insert gastrointestinal-bands etc., why do they owe anyone an apology!? He was implying that obese people who took Ozempic to slim down are cheats! Laughable really! To whom are they supposed to apologise?
There’s violence everywhere you look. Stabbings, shootings etc. Yet, we continue to lock non-violent criminals in jails with violent criminals!?? Why??? It should be mandatory that people who have committed non-violent crimes are imprisoned in jails that hold non-violent criminals only! Yes, we try to make prisons scary – as a deterrent- but if the result is society ending up receiving released prisoners who go in as petty thieves or shoplifters, coming out of prison and buying knives, becoming violent criminals, then we are simply punishing society! We are throwing oil on the fire! The punishment meted out to people who commit non-violent crimes should be the loss of their freedom for that duration of imprisonment and the usual loss of dignity and being controlled all-day by others. They should be imprisoned in jails holding only non-violent criminals! Society will avoid having them returning as hardened, violent criminals. What we are currently doing is NOT working at all, as we incarcerate people who have committed non-violent crimes with killers, rapists and violent individuals and the result is that society then end up with more violent people each time these folk are released back into society. Our prisons need to be restructured urgently, such that non-violent criminals go in, are separated from violent criminals, and come out and re-enter society as improved people who will not re-offend and certainly not go from non-violent to violent crimes
The last couple of weeks have seen reports of a strange-looking guy with a bob haircut who calls himself ‘Ibiza final boss’ or something like that, hitting the headlines as some kind of up-comer! Society is truly broken, when such trivial nonsense become news! We look away from hungry kids, poverty-stricken towns, to lap up stories of influencers etc.
Illiteracy has taken over. Completely
The rule of law is now being rampantly ignored.
People somehow think that once they can gather a large enough crowd, they have the right to force their demands! They believe they can cause rioting with impunity! They are no longer interested in the law-abiding processes of writing to your MP, casting your vote to make your point etc.
We are doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
