What is Wrong with People...

Kevin, I am so sorry your daughter had to have that happen to her.... and I know how you feel...
one thing i have learned over the past few years, is that the human race, is on the downslide, at an alarming rate....
I have no answers or cures... and not much hope for that to change...
we are just too populated, and the "perps" for lack of a better family friendly word, know how to play the system, as to what they can get away with...

Disturbing...

These threads remind me of the title of an article written by probably the last statesman to sit in the US Senate--Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

The title was, "Defining Deviancy Down"--pretty much an overview of how cultural norms and standards of acceptable behavior have been devalued over the last 40-50 years.

We went to the spice place Saturday, I stayed in the car listening to the game. My wife said that a customer came back in and said that he'd bought the 7 buck teapot by mistake and had really wanted the 10 dollar one. Could he get the 10 dollar one for 7? They said no. He went into a tirade, had the little girl at the counter crying and the rest of the customers glaring at him. I told the wife that she should have come and got me. I woulda ruined his day and self esteem. I effin' hate bullies more than anything on this earth. There is something wrong in my gear box, God help me, bullies make me want to screw with them, and I'm good at it. "Let's go outside and I'll make you cry, too, you effin retahd...."

i read about a study on Rats living in a kind of artificial habitat ok...
and they started out with two family's each living at opposite ends.

there was plenty of Space and plenty of food....everything was peaceful and calm...a very happy existence.

then they each had a litter .....and the babies grew up and the cross mating began...the competition for space began and the competition for food also began but it was still relatively peaceful.

then the third generation arrived and now the squabbles started and in fighting broke out everywhere.....fighting for food and space became a daily affair but all in all they seemed to work things out.

then the fourth generation arrived and there was robbing and fights to the death as many fought for supremacy and the right to live became more and more difficult.

then the fifth generation arrived and it turned into a cannibalistic blood bath everyday with all the baby rats being eaten as fast as they could produce them. Disease set into the colony and the fighting was constant with all out wars being common place.

the sixth generation killed everything in site and soon all of them succumbed to disease from the unsanitary conditions from over population and cannibalism.
