Somethinig Strange

[MirahM]

Met up with an old school friend today, we both are recently back in the place we went to school. I commented on how awful this place has become and he commented that it isn't much different than when we lived her before.

I recall thinking this guy never saw the bad stuff before. I swear I am not focused on it either. The grocery stores around here never had security cameras and security guards, there were never homeless encampments in the parking lots, the # of sirens per day and night has increased. 

Is this guy blind? How can he not see it? On the other hand-he could have seen it as a dump before-but I really doubt it. When I go a few towns over there are not security guards and homeless, it is a much different feel-I don't understand how one can not see what has happened to this area.

yeah its like you feel the other person is not reliable.

America is a jungle, you could get shot minding your own business, and people do. Its the fault of government, when things are out of hand, the government is charged with imposing order. Do they?, no. Do you take care of your own?, no. Its everyman for himself. Look at Marie Presley, born with privelege, but fucked up glorious style.

England is just as bad, the police are teenagers father, drugs, violence, no job, no intention of working, the reason for living, none.

This is the result of rampant liberalism, 250,000 british people live on the social and have no intention of working. They even have people defending their right not to work. So whats the point of getting up in the morning? In the old days when we had proper wars, the above, criminals and neer do wells actually had a role to play, and few came back, thankfully reducing the population and freeing up the prisons. Crminals are left to roam the streets because they are not banged up.

We need a good war, if only to remind these bastards how good life really is. Life is about struggle, not wealth, without it theres no point. During ww2, the british people were never happier. If Marie Presley had to eek out a living, she would be alive today and feel a sense of achievement at looking after herself and family. How do you know what its like without money if youve always had it?

America is too rich. Lokk at Mark, reduced to pretending to blow up a rubber glove. With his nose. He isnt going to write the grapes of wrath, sophies choice or romeo and juliet, not that he might not be able to.

He feels no need, he might if he had a slice of toast for breakfast, no butter, and had to beg for his tea.

America and Britain are degenerate. Strangely we need a bad ass to tell people to shut the fuck up, like the yankee universities, and get to fucking work, or else, and mean it. Make owning a gun without a permit illegal, make drugs illegal, and have zero tolerance over everything. Especially corruption in government.

The west is dying, inch by inch. Like ancient Greece and the Incas. Liberalism is cancer disgiused as freedom.

Been working since grade school, feeding rats that tried to bite my hands for $1 an, then later taking 130 pound sheets of drywall up fire escapes all day long for $6 an hour, I've always worked hard my entire life, most likely four times as hard as the average person. Don't begrudge me or what I have it's been totally earned while paying taxes until my ass bled.

yeah its like you feel the other person is not reliable.

They see everything with a rainbow in it. EVERYTHING. 
They would even see piglets pist with a rainbow or cool somehow.

[Duchess]

They see everything with a rainbow in it. EVERYTHING. 

I think people like that are ill-prepared for life & can't be counted on when needed. I would view that as a red flag.

[MirahM]

It has been a red flag since I knew him from H.S.

The West isn't dying Piglet. Stop being so Goddamn negative. Anyway, even if it is, what are you doing about it? There must be something you can do to help?

It is true how crazy the USA is with there guns. We cannot comprehend what it must be like living under such a constant threat. However, yes, the UK has a crowded badly governed knife crime epidemic too. You can help that by contributing in some way to your community. We can all be a part of something bigger than ourselves, and make a difference. That's what I think anyway.

Life is a challenge, its not meant to be overcome, this planet is a shithole.

You can contribute to help those that need help on this 'shithole' planet. I have watched a documentary on orphaned orangatans, all these people are volunteers, dedicated, committed. The parents of these animals have been killed due to loss of the forest in that part of the world. Watching these baby animals getting their bottles of an evening and being settled the way you would a child is truly very special.

Everyone has a role to play Piglet to alleviate suffering. It's not just radicals, activists or people who kill with kindness. It's something everyone should do. For sure there is some way you can contribute, not just notice the problem and complain. Step up.

With England being the biggest shithole. 300 plus years and the government still playing medieval renaissance faire cosplay.

The UK is really going through some toxic stuff at the moment, you gotta feel sorry for them. It's bitter cold and they have a horrible Tory government starving essential services like health, and I think transport has been unreliable and on strike too. So it's a big old mess. Quite depressing.
