Uncivilized

Why have we become so uncivilized?
The attitude and actions are trashing our lives,
Anymore there is so little respect
It's worse now than I can recollect.
A woman kills her son, he is corrupt,
She's justified, 'cause he beat her up.
A man gets high and he kills his daughter,
Others beat a baby, there's nothing but slaughter.
The lives some are living are totally insane,
It brings on suffering and endless pain.
"Anti-establishment" was the cry years ago,
Disrespect started this unholy show.
Discipline's the foundation for a wholesome life,
Without it, we have nothing, nothing but strife.

Studecar you just accounted the daily exposure of bad newscasting to me. Not that the news is bad, it is just that there is more gore than good on the new style of broadcasting. I think we have become so desentisized (lack of feelings) to all this bad accounts of real problems in life that it is no surpize anymore that such accounts dominate the news. The question is: Where will it end (if ever) or how can we prevent it from further decivilizing our world? You and I let us start presenting a solution. It is not enough that we know the problem. This is given. We have to do something about it. Don't you think? Thanks Studecar and have you polished the cars? Anything you value on this world needs maintaining Studecar...Thanks..

Dear friend, thanks for your accepting my views on the neglect of humanity. I don't know that anything can be done about it because it is such a festering condition. I believe a great deal of the responsibility rests on the shoulders of the parents.As a teacher, I witnessed so many cases of parents not caring about the conduct of their children,but then look at the conduct of many of the parents.There are many stories I could tell you,but I wont on CS. Cars are polished, I took my Metropolitan to an upholstry shop last week,it should be ready the last of the month.I am working on the Covair now. Thanks for your response. studecarteddybear teddybear teddybear

I used to teach long ago and gave it up because of the disrespect, constantly coming from students, parents. I think teachers and police officers have a hard job because they see the inhumanity day after day and it does burn them out. I think we do need to have more respect for our teachers, they should be told every day that we are thankful for their sacrifice and we appreciate them tremendously. I will bet less teachers would burn out like I did and teaching would be more fun for a lot of teachers instead of the cruel joke it has become for many of them.applause cheering professor

Thank you for your input. It was not my major but my main subject was discipline because no learning takes place without it.
