Gone to the dogs.

deteriorating or gone awry.

Yet another young person has lost his life

to violence on our streets.

Going out for a nice night,

with his mates.

Gets into an argument

with someone and now dead.

Society has lost its grip

on reality.

Our Government is run by idiots

let alone,

a bad joke in general.

And the police are not even proper

police anymore,

doing their job to the max.

You report a crime and get a crime

number and that is it.

As well as for some crimes they

will not even come out to see you.

The judges in this country

pussyfoot around real criminals

and they hardly do prison time at all

and when they do, they get colour TVs

radios and home comforts to dawn

their rooms.

This country should be more like

America with the death penalty

in general for some of the crimes

that happen in this place.

No wonder Great Britain is Fucked UP Now.

It's not "Great" anymore and never will

be again.

God help the youngsters is all I can say.

The future is grim here in the UK.

There is much here at the moment to concern ourselves with. Many of these killings are related to drugs. That battle is being lost and has been for years. Vast amounts of money are wasted on trying to tackle it. It needs radical new thinking to get rid of the gangs. I actually believe it would be better to legalise some drugs and invest the money saved in policing it into education and rehabilitation programmes. That would take the dealers off the streets and reduce drug crime and violence. Only problem is those scummy people would find something else to replace it. What a sorry state we are in. Don't talk to me about the justice system, it is crap run by morons. You:ve got me wound up like a corkscrew Dawn:)) Good afternoon to ya. Sounds like you are fed up to.

To be honest with you Chris, i do agree with you. legalise some drugs and the money saved in policing it used in education and rehabilitation programmes like you said. I also think proper sentences for crimes depending on what they are. And also death penalty for the serial killers etc. We are turning into a soft touch our country.

[Chris Shaw]

I agree with most of what you say, Dawn, but still have grave concerns over the death penalty. Massive rethink needed though regarding drugs.

I know what you mean Chris, I really think the fear of the death penalty maybe stop a lot of crime in the first place. As at end of day no one want to die. This Government needs to sort this society out properly. And get the police force back to where it did proper police work and none of this pussyfoot around bullshit they do now. We truly are gone to the dogs. God help the younger generation as they grow up.

[Chris Shaw]

I do worry too about the younger generations Dawn.

Dawn,
you speak with the haunting thoughts and phrases of the prophets of old. It seems the Western World has turned in a direction of self-destruction . . . "and everyone did what was right in their own eyes."
Without real hope and meaning so many turn to addictions as a means of escape from a world going blind in its madness. I personally have chosen to accept the world for what it is . . . lost. Do I care? Yes . . . so I put my prayers toward people to know the Light, the Truth, the Way. I have given up on politicians showing us the light . . . the human effort to "be good". I must not let this world harden my love for people into a fossil, a petrified
emotion. America has no more the answer to our condition than the UK. We are a violent nation . . . lost in our obsessions for comfort, convenience and lust for all kinds of momentary pleasures. This is not to say that the entire population is walking around with air in their heads . . . . many well meaning folks are still standing against the approaching darkness. Yet, I choose not to hand wring. I cannot give in to fatalism. Sorry if this sounds like preaching . . . it's what I have chosen to pursue.

it's so sad...someone who needs to should see this rant...those who understand will read and relate to this...those who need to read it and understand and do something...they will have no clue.
