Joggit Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think that the very rich are getting richer and are feeding the "lower classes" a lot of poo in order to control them. We are like mushrooms.......kept in the dark and fed on brown stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat owl Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 No more of a mess than we've seen in the past. It's all cyclical. Things will improve and then in another 10 years or so we'll see another crisis. It's what keeps the politicians in a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The system isn't fair, I doubt it will ever be. Just try and get on with your life and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 What do we all think of the mess this country is in. Mess? Society is still functioning. Utilities are still running. Plenty of people are in employment. We still have a welfare system for those who arn't. The shops are stocked. The crowds are still there up and down the shopping malls and streets. The bars and restaurants are still busy. Nightclubs still have queues. The roads are still clogged up at rush hour. National Infrastructure is still intact. Bascially, people are still going about their business living their lives. We are a very very very very very long way off being destitue. Take a look at what really being in a mess looks like. Really poverty. Real breakdown in society. YES we are having to tighten our belts. YES time is getting tough for some. However, we have survived worse than this before and we will have to go through this again at some point. Boom and Bust is always happening. 70s depression became early 80s boom which became late 80s depression which became the 90s boom and the real birth of a real consumer society along with the housing boom and of course now currently in a a depession again which will become...... Round and round it goes. Despite what the scary media is trying to report. What actually does a triple dip recession actually mean. Nobody really knows. Particuarly the headline writers who only care about trying to sell more papers So we go into a "triple dip" Think about what that actually means to you. What exactly will change in YOUR own life. You MAY become unemployed. So what? you have to try and get another job. We are lucky enough to have a welfare system to help with that and support you whilst you do. You MAY have to tighten your belt a bit and cut out some luxuries - so what? We all have to adapt thorughout our lives. We buy pretty things when we have the money. We cut back on such when we dont. Nothing special there. You MAY lose a few of the non-essential public services. So what? The necessary will always be there. We are a civilised society. However, those deemed not may close. Things change and you have to cut your cloth accordingly. That's what the government (whichever colour they are) have to do. They can all talk bull on the television about what THEY might do if they were in power. However, anyone with half a brain knows that whoever was in power - they all would have the same choice to make. Cuts. I am getting bored of the Media's contstant attempts to dramatise, panic and generally s***stir. When we still have tweenagers queueing up for the latest got to have it mobile and unemployed or low paid people still going out for meals and drinks on a weekend in city centre bars dont try to persuade me we are in a mess. Nobody is being forced on the streets dying of starvation. We have infrastructre to proctect EVERY citizen. Our states puts a roof over your head, food in your belly and treats you when you are ill. If of course you CHOOSE to use it. If you dont, that's your problem. Until that basic human welfare stops we are not or anywhere near being in a mess.

I1L2T3 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The country is in a mess. No doubt about it. Is it in a bigger mess than before the election? Imo yes but not massively so. What happens next is critical though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
