    Heard this from a friend . . . "i therefore come before you armed with the delusions of adequacy with which so many of us equip ourselves."

    Have a feeling you' ll understand

    Are you sure you have nothing in that coffee? But seriously, I couldn't agree with you more. I think the problem stems from greed.

    Self esteem went out of the window a long time ago.

    All that seems to matter to to-days generation is, I want it. I don't care how I get it or who I hurt in the process, I am going to have it attitude.

    Has it perhaps, been sparked off by the 'Hero'? sportsmen, film stars, and politicians, flaunting their wealth around, with a 'look at what i've got, I can afford to look down my nose at you peasant's'. That attitude is bound to make people with no hope in life, act in a manner which, let's face it, is really alien to the species. Greed has made us hungry.

    Also the drug scene has done no favours for the manner in which some people live their lifes

    It is my belief that due to the Budget Crisis in our Nation, all the Life Guards at the Gene Pools have been permanently laid of all of the pools subsequently closed. This leads me to issue the following warning:

    "Never underestimate the power of stupid people. They are an ingenious bunch of bastards.

    Natural selection. You mention natural selection. We aren't a nation where that takes place. We are too caring for that, so, the creme doesn't rise to the top. Not that I don't think we should be caring.



    I was a liar magnet. NO MORE! I choose not to be.

    I feel like smacking people all the time. I deal with stupidity on a daily basis. It just amazes me how stupid people are sometimes. I fear for my life that I walk among them unknowing. Self-centeredness accounts for a lot of rude stupidity. People who think they are owed something. Lack of common sense accounts for the others. Scary.

    I believe people act in the ways you described, because the simply like it. They know what to do but choose to not. That's pathetic, indeed.

    yep....as we get a little older we see how things have "progressed"...to the point they are at right now...people are selfish, egocentric...me first driven...there are islands of decency in the world..but they are becoming fewer and fewer....start a revolution...be decent in all the things you do...hang out with others who are likewise....ignore the others...let them congregate like rodents....raise your children to have empathy....and TURN OFF THE TV....and open a book

    It will only get worse before it gets better. The way the people are and the way of the world is all prophesy.
