The Horror

[stubbornforgey]

The western world has gone totally arrogant towards each other..but this
was apparent well before 9/11

a poem i wrote 2 yrs ago..[shortened version]

I asked the lord on bended knees
some questions from the heart..
there were so many stored in there
not knowing where to start..
I asked about the child
and asked..how come they suffer more
and although treaty's have been signed
some countries still at war..
I asked about my fellow man
and why he doesn't care..
for when he passed a crippled soul..
he simply ..left him there..
The lord looked down and said to me..
theres not much i can do
have tried so hard..have done my best..
the rest is up to you.

BUT, there's a way you can do something about this!

Go out there and be nice to people! Be friendly. Help people. Especially, help people less fortunate, if you can.

Show the people out there that there ARE people who care. Be one of those people.

In the sober light of day, I would now like to take this opportunity to thank you for those wise words above.

They were beautiful - THANK YOU

Basic politeness has gone....... that's a fact.


pah! its like the global warming bull crap thats all lies, wer meant to heat up...and cool......... the earth cant stay in one state....

No, the world's ecosystem will naturally burn itself up with volcanic eruptions and bush fires BUT the human race is accelarating this burn up with pollution and the pawning of the environment in general at a very fast rate.

We can bury out heads in the sand if we wish to, but the waters will rise and we will drown in the end.

No one likes doom and gloom but we really are buggering it up!

If ppl want to see the effects of global warming in action....hunt down
an article in recent months about the ice that had broken away from the antarctica and floated for 5 days in NZ waters before melting completely.
They were large enough to land helicopters on.
Also the strange weather pattern we have been experiencing..
our summer ..we had nothing but thunderstorms and floods.
Trust me..global warming is at its best in our small country.

lusters (er... sorry *lovers*) couldnt find it in their freaking eyes or brains to realise there was another human being on the same path and move aside to let her pass.

Hoo!
I'm part of a couple, but don't get me started on the annoying shit you see outta others. I mean to begin, if your relationship is more'n a year in and you're still not over the whole "allover eachother in public" thing...somebody's got security issues. If it's friends doing this it's like...take it the fuck outta our faces, yeach!
I guess one part of what you're getting at is the hand holding thing. Now, it's just not a viable option in anything other than a relatively low populated area...with people in front and behind you trying to walk it becomes an act of inconsiderate asshole, regardless of intent. They're either stupidly oblivious or rude. Both annoying.
Some couples get this...I know not many, but yknow, here's to avoiding that blanket.

Wow, I'd love to go back in time and see this magical place where everybody was nice to each other. Oh wait... it's never been like that. Either Grog trips Cronk so the Mammoth didn't crush him or Sir Blowsalot slices up Sir Hasnopair because of a maiden. Most people suck, they always have, they always will.
