Society Is Doomed

Time and time again we hear of multiple stabbings and shootings throughout the country. The progession of this movement has led to its diminishing tone and shock factor. The press continue mercilessly to press the issue that something must be done but like most of these progressions of our society we are doomed to accept them.
Notice that I am using the word "progression" in a sense of movement and not as taking things forward.

I am genuinely starting to believe that the humans as species have reached thier peak in the 19th/early 20th century and are now starting to go backwards.
Some extremists of this practice even hark back to the age of the cavemen with the gangs, excessive street slang and protection of territory.
If you would like to compare today's hooded gang member with a "cave man" they both have the same sort of attitude to life.
The thing is though... in the very early stages of human civilisation there was no benefits for the lazy, people had to work and sort out their own food and drink, and they had only the bare basics to survive.
Today there are so many people in this country living off benefits when they are perfectly capable to work.

I am no snob (I live on a council estate for crying out loud) I am just genuinely sick of society.
Today I was in the doctors waiting to go in for a blood test. A typical chav-looking woman walks in complete with Vicky Pollard earings and bright blue tracksuit and her son of no more that I'd say 9 years old. After barely being in the waiting area for 5 seconds she instructs him to "sit down you tit".
She notices a golfing book on the table. "There is a golfing book here".
"And...?" he snaps. "You like golf don't you?".
"Just because I play golf doesn't mean I like it".
There is no respect here whatsoever between either of them and I think probably the main reason I feel society is falling apart is due to a lack of respect.

This new wave of gun and knife killers have no respect whatsoever for human life. In fact they are probably on a completely different planet to the rest of us with nothing barely resembling reality whatsoever. They have no respect for the families of their victims, in fact I am pretty sure it does not even cross their mind. Many of them do not have the human emotion which is guilt, and many have been seen to be laughing in the courtroom as the grieving parents probably feel like life is pointless. There is a genuine lack of respect for many towns and cities from the simplest spit on the pavement to grafitti and destroying buildings, trees, plants and architecture.
There is no respect for the elderly, many being tortured or simply nuisanced.
But what is even more scary is that these young people do not only attack people who bother them. Sometimes they are so bored that they go and kill somebody who never even looked at them, spoken to them, or knew of their existence.

So what can we do about it? Well I would love to say we can turn it around, but ask yourself this question. How many other things have been turned around? Racism? No, it is still here alive and well. Corruption? Look no further than the EU and our very own politicians. Murders are always going to be around since they always have been. But getting respect back is a very hard task and I have little faith in the current powers that be to do much about it. One can only try their best as a single person but in today's world where you don' t even have to say anything to be stabbed to death by those that are partially responsible - many people just quietly suffer and let it happen.

The country is on a severe downward spiral - socially and economically - and don't we all bloody know it. I guess we will get used to it after a while. Like all of the other terrible things.
