I consider 'normal behaviour' to be the most common behaviour. would you say the behavioural tendencies listed in my op characterises the majority of people?

Is our government doing enough to discourage those responsible? is losing 44,000 police officers and staff since 2010 to blame fore this heightened sense of disregard for the implications of their actions, the law, and the lives they take and ruin? In criminal terms, do the rewards far outweigh the risk that the consequences pose? Is this why our society is spiralling into chaos? I don't think our society is spiralling into chaos. In spite of the best efforts of politicians over the last 40 years, this country is fairly peaceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

despritdan Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's blindingly obvious why this country is spiralling out of control but we're a society in denial. We didn't have all these problems when we were monocultural but the more multicultural we've become, the more divided and violent society has become. It's not just here, it's happening in all countries which have adopted a multicultural identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it isn't going to go away, no matter how many times the UK wants to be insular. Lets face it, the steelworks down the road aint opening up again anytime soon. ADAPT and OVERCOME.

And I'm not going on local crime either, I'm going on national figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Populism seems to be taking hold here and in the states (arguably other countries too) and that’s a concern. I worry about the effect of social media, particularly on our young people. Are suicides up or does it just feel like they’re going up to me? In many ways the vast majority have never had so good, we certainly havent had better health and security yet the mental health of many seems so precarious. And don’t get me started on climate change etc. But spirally? Drifting into the abyss would be a better description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently overall crime is down, but sexual offences and violent crime are up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42815768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
