What The Hell Is Wrong With This World?

OK, we all know that Michael's message is clear - that we have to change the world. He also had the message about people changing themselves, in Man In The Mirror Michael sings "If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and then make a change."

Some may wonder what the fuck I am going on about and why the hell I am even quoting Michael. Some think that I shouldn't even be associated with anything that he is associated with. But all will become apparent eventually.

Over at MJHD.NET forum member, O-Drey-O, who had an encounter with some homeless person. Her story is:

"This morning, on my way to college, I was waiting for the tramway, the station was full of people. Homeless persons usually come to ask for money , usually I give them some , even if I know that some will buy beer or such things… I can’t stand seeing people in the street. Anyway,today one came to me and asked me if I had something to give him. Unfortunately, I had absolutely nothing this time so I apologized and said no. He insisted, I told him that I hadn’t anything again. Then he got angry and cursed at me in front of all the people, and then punched me in the face. I fell on the floor, and he left. But it was not even that which hurt me the most. The behavior of people around me hurt me even more. I understand that they could me scared, but they didn’t even move to help me to get up, or not even ask me if I was ok! They just pretended they hadn't seen anything, yet I was just in front of them, on the floor!"

Nice to see people fucking stand around and do nothing while someone is assaulted. What the fuck is wrong with these people? What is wrong with this fucking screwed up world where people will stand by and watch this sort of shit happen?

In 1964, Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death in New York. Various neighbors watched this attack from the safety of their homes. Until eventually one neighbor called the police. 46 years later and nobody has learned anything. Apathy still rules the majority. People unwilling to get involved. I'm not saying people should put themselves in danger, and in the case of Kitty Genovese, I wouldn't suggest going to tackle some psycho who later admitted to three murders either. But come on, anyone of the neighbors could of come out of their safe little houses and started shouting, possibly scaring the attacker off, possibly saving a woman's life. We as people are no longer neanderthals we know the difference between right and wrong. So why are so many willing to do nothing when something like this goes on?

On the same thread, Anjibad recounts a similar experience:

"Last week in the bus tunnel, here in Seattle, a high school girl got jumped by a few people and she was down on the ground and they were kicking her in the head!! The worst part is there were two cops standing right there watching it happen. Someone got it all on tape!!! They said they weren't allowed to intervene, because they were hired for private security!!! What they hell are they there for then?!!!! The whole city is outraged!! The girl is ok, thankfully!! I really hope those aholes get canned!!!!! It really is unbelievable what this world has come to!!! I'm sorry you had to see it up close and personal!!!"

So it wasn't their job? Fucking lame excuse for human beings. A person is more important than any job. Fucking lame people in a uniform but not the balls to fill the uniform. If they don't get canned their boss/supervisor should be fucking put against a wall and shot for allowing such pussies to be calling themselves security guards.

Anyway forum member Doll comes on with this piece of useless advice: "Well...it was really sad what happened to you...but remember, they are only human, and they make lot's of mistakes...The man who hurt you....forgive him...he has a sad soul, unfortunatelly...and somehow he needs to "heal" himself first."

Fuck that shit. Forgive him? Why? Forgive him for being an asshole? I don't think so. All this forgive and forget shit is why people stood around and did nothing. The world is in a state of Apathy, with fewer and fewer people willing to stand up and be counted.

If the homeless guy doesn't know right from wrong that is his problem not O-Drey-O's problem. Fuck forgiveness. Should we have released Jeffery Dahmer because he had a sad soul? He only killed 17 people (at least) you never know he might learn the error of his ways and we can forgive him. I'm sure there would be a cue of people wanting to forgive him and let him live right next door.

This world has got to stop giving people excuses for wrong actions. It is fucking ridiculous that we are meant to feel sorry for these assholes for what they have done. Other people go through exactly the same thing and don't turn into assholes. Not everyone from a broken home becomes a robber. Want to know why, because some actually think before they act. Next time you see some punk in court charged with raping a 78 year old crippled woman (not Five) think about if it was someone you knew that he raped, your mother or your grandmother. Would we as people still want to be so forgiving? Still want to pity him because he grew up in a single parent home?

Fuck Apathy. Fuck Excuses. Every single person is accountable for their actions.

Peace.
