I'm sorry but this is important. I know this isn't unusual when people hear about others being beaten, murdered, raped, etc. And it seems like it's getting worse each and everyday. But why? What's wrong with people Why doesn't a mother find it wrong when their child is being beaten or hurt? Why doesn't a husband find it wrong when he rapes his children and beats his wife? Why don't people do something when they hear about a poor child starving and dying in his own household? What's wrong with them? What's happening to this world? This is terrible. How is it even possible to rape a 3 year old? Am I the only one that finds that incredulous. Wha, how, I can't even speak. People are so stupid, and evil, and just plain wrong. I can't turn on the tv without hearing something terrible. Why can't those news people give us something positive instead of drama all the time? I'm so sick of it. I cried today when I looked at the news for the first time in a long time. A mother just sits there and watches her daughter get burned when falling into a hot tub and even afterwards not say anything. What the freak! I'm sorry if I seem pissed but I am. I am so sick of people and their idiotic ways when they're not even affected when they murder someone or assualt them. I hate this world with their sick inhabitants, or maybe it's just America....I bet you it is. I don't care anymore. People sleeping around and looking at the people they used as inferior and trash HINT HINT. They were bad enough. But now, I'm just tired of it all. It wasn't like this in the past centuries. Thomas Jefferson, Booker T. Washington, John Quincy Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Ulysses S. Grant etc how would they feel about this? Sometimes I question my faith and I question God because it's like ok Lord what's going on? You see what's happening don't You? So why don't You do something about it? I mean is He just going to let it get worse. Is He honestly just going to let people continue to destroy each other? How can someone so "loving" and "infinite" and "all powerful" let this go on? Is He even real? Come on. If He can flood people for their evil ways why not do something now? Maybe it's just the evil of man. Whatever. I'm just tired of it all.

Prove something please...

Wow you sound like me. honestly you ask all the questions i ask everyday. I dont think there is an answer to any of that. You are right, this world is fucked up. But ive come to terms with it, theres nothing i can do to change it
-
I can't even work I'm so steamed and depressed. I hate people.
-
I know how you feel. but honestly if you let everything like that bother u, u will go crazy
-
yeah I know. It's just sick. I have to live with this. My generation is falling apart. I didn't go to school because I had a fever and my friend told me there was another lock down today since some fool brought a loaded gun to school. Sicko!
-
you think ur that far behind me? im only 20 so i got just as long as u do. You just need to watch ur tail, and that of ur family. thats all u can do

I don't think it's much different now than it ever was. With around-the-clock news networks looking for stories with the highest-possible shock and emotion value, it's in your face all the time, but trust me, things were a lot worse in the "old days" in this country. At least now lynchings are rare, and men get put in prison for beating their wives and children.It may not seem like it, but overall, ethics have been on an upward curve. It's now considered bad form to let people in your city starve to death.People have always been violent and probably will be for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure why humans would be "created" that way, but each to his or her own beliefs.
-
I guess, it just seems like things are worse. People don't care anymore.

I guess, it just seems like things are worse.It's an illusion. Turn off the TV and go dig up the statistics.> People don't care anymore.They never cared that much in the first place. People in small towns have always cared about each other (depending on skin color and religion) more than city dwellers have.
-
I agree with Steve. The "good old days" weren't so good at all. Some things get worse, others get better, but people stay much the same.Old ladies say how they used to be able to leave their front doors unlocked and walk the streets at night when they were young. But you can do that now. Eventually, after some considerable time, you'll get robbed or mugged, or it will happen to someone you know, and you'll stop doing it. Then when you're older you'll tell people how you used to be able to leave the front door unlocked and walk the streets at night, but now things are so much worse and you can't do it.
-
Any way you slice it, the U.S. has always been a pretty violent place. The distribution and types of crime may evolve, but people's behavior doesn't seem to...so far, anyway. But ethics evolve, and a lot of things that would be considered unacceptable today (like slavery) were routine in the old days.
-
What depresses me is that some things that one thought had become now completely unacceptable, like the use of torture, have come back.
-
Its not just America, its the same over here.I think your gunna need to console yourself with the world, as nasty as it is.
-
Ineligible torture was never unacceptable..well to some people. i dk about the good old days i never had any and i wasn;t barn back when the so called days were good. i don't F*n care if that makes since or not it does to me.anyway people are evil and mean... but there r some that arn't. the evil/mean people out wight the good by many
-
In reply to:the evil/mean people out wight the good by manyThat's not my experience. My impression is that nearly all people try to do good. Of course we all fail sometimes and hurt others, sometimes very badly; but there are only a few who give up trying to do good entirely.
-
the evil/mean people out wight the good by many totally don't agree hon. Its just the bad things make the news, the good stuff doesn't, the bad people seem to be more vocal, bad stories travel faster etc etc................there are way more good people in the world, but when they do something good, its not for glory etc, so no one knows, and usually its the little things that people do that make a difference, and that kinda thing goes unnoticed.
-
not all the bad shit gets to the news...but wutever it's ok. i know every one disagrres with me. but threw my eyes there are more assholes. Helms... lots of shit.. lots of it. ...and my computer has been sick.
-
I gotta agree with angel. Maybe it's where you live, but there are definetly more good than bad in my opinion.
-
Yeah, I think maybe it's just me but it just seemed like there are alot more mean than good. I guess. But now I kinda felt even more depressed today and it kinda stinks but I can't even think straight anymore. I don't know. I feel like everyone on my dads side of the family pretty much hate because they just do. And people at school are just really... rude I guess, I don't know. I was thinking of taking a break from this site because a few things on here are really making it worse and I was sort of hinting at something so I didn't sound like a psycho but I guess.. I'm just going to have to pray on it. I appreciate previous help, guess it's just not good enough. I'm no longer getting good vibes anymore. Oh well.
Edit: Oh yeah and there are a bunch of racist people running around... that migt also be it.

Aw.. Please dont leave hun
