That's pathetic. You can't be bothered or don't have the intelligence to engage in genuine debate so you resort to a) name calling and b) using anon. I've checked your IP address and you are the jaybee1960 login. You'd be better off explaining your 1970s comment because at the moment you are giving off all the vibes of being a racist, which you claim not to be...[/quote]
Over the last 35 years or so, various laws have been brought in to "protect the public"
For example, It is against the law now to slap your own children.
During the 1960s as a child I remember dropping litter in the street, and a policeman grabbed me by the ear and made me pick it up.
That could not happen today.
As a child, it was safe to go to school, without getting bullied
How things change.
My reference to the 70s it was a safe haven.
Police walked the streets, we where not afraid to go out, it was safe to get on Buses and Trains.
I say this country is divided, its divided by fear !
A 70 year old woman was beat up in a busy town centre last year, as she would not hand over her handbag, people walked on by, unwilling to help.
While the police are bogged down with office work, and filling in forms.
Respect has gone out of the window.
Who do we blame for the state of the nation ?
The Police, The Goverment, America ?
I could go on forever about the way that I feel, but who would want to listen, after all, I am just another number in the system.
and NO, I am definatly not racist - What I am is angry at whats going on.
Angry at the fact 37 innocent people have to die for no reason !
Angry at the fact, it will probably happen again unless this goverment and the rest of the world wake up, and do something about it
