JesusofChaos™ Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Disclaimer-The views expressed here are not nesscarily right but are a persons opinion if you are offended by anything said here then comment leaving a constructive argument.This is the first of three threads i will be making about modern life and how it is falling down around or ears. My First Topic i am going to start on is Nanny State. I live in the United Kingdom and I am proud to live in a place where freedom of speech and worship are allowed. We have one of the largest economies in the world and control vast diplomaic power. However I believe that our government and many around the word has the wrong focus. Here in England there are large areas of housing owned by the council. Now these are filled with unemployed people and people who are on benefits. Now dont get me wrong there are many people from council estates that are prefectly fine and i get along with perfectly, but some spoil it for others. Some think that it is their god given right to the housing and everyone should give them everything they want. Now this is completely wrong the only reason you have been given this house in the first place is you popped out 7 children and cant support them. Im not saying that we should adopt china's two child policy but it sure goes along way to reduce housing shortages. The thing that really boils my vegetables is politcal correctness. You cant even make a joke about another race nowadays and you are dubbed a racist. Black people have recently been apolgised to for slavery. Now this is completely wrong as we did not enslave them it was people before us. Its like me stealing a car and then my great great grandson apolgising for it. It does not make any sense. Also many names of things have been changed due to the fact it will 'offend' people. For instance do u remember brainstorms? Well you cant call it that anymore as it offends people with the condition, you have to call it a mind map. Remember that Nursey Rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep? Well its not called that anymore it called Baa Baa Rainbow sheep so it doesnt offend black people. Now how is saying that we are going to do a brainstorm or sing Baa Baa Black Sheep offensive to anyone? Anyway onto the next topic of eldery people. Im sure youve seen at least one eldery person go "Oh we have so hard, we hardley have any money." Now correct me if im wrong you retire now at 65. Now the average age of a first time home buyer now is around 28. So by the time they reach 65 they will have paid of the loan. Plus Old people in the UK get a free- Bus Pass, TV Licence, Heating allowence, Freeview Box and Various other things. My mum used to work in a building society and 75% of the old people that came in said "Ive got so much money i dont know what to do with it." Now the government want to invest more money in the eldery. Now hes a scenario you go into the local TV shop, you want to buy a new TV and the salesman goes "Hello Sir/Madam we have two choices for you, We have this New Tv ready to go work and loads of potential. Or you can have this old broken TV that will never work again." Now dont get me wrong i appreicate all that the older generation has done for us but now is the time to bring the younger generation through. Now to move onto the collapse of modern society. Now back 20 maybe even 10 years ago at about 6-7pm most families would gather together around the table and sit down and eat some good food and discuss the day. Now more and more these days less and less families are sitting down to eat together, but this is the tip of the iceburg. Most of social problems are caused by teenagers sometimes referred to as chavs causing anti social behaviour. These children have no respect for adults or the police and believe that this is due to the fact that the modern family does not cater for childrens needs. Personally i still believe that the children are the most responsible for their actions but parents need to lay down the law early in childhood. This is not happening as more and more single and young mums begin to come to light. These people cannot control their children in ages 2-5 which i think is the most important stage to determine how the child comes out. Power has also been taken away from schools as capital punishment has been taken away all the teachers can do is give out detension which is no deterant to the child. This all comes back to the nanny state which caters for minorities rather than the population as a whole. In conculsion modern society is collasping and is mainly due to the fact that the government cant except that they need to bring back more forceful method and be more harsh on Teen offenders. Thanks god i have this forum to let on my anger and feelings. Next Post will be on religion but for now im all out of rant thanks you for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 you are right, and how the children grow and behave is partly the parent responsibilty as the have to actually care for them and i dont meen having to work to cloth them i mean to talk to them, have fun with them as it makes them more opin minded, kind and less anti-social.
