What's wrong with the world, you ask?
A member begins a discussion about how a woman was senselessly beaten and all we can come up with is the technical term from the university psych. textbooks for people who were watching but not helping. That is 100% the problem. Sickening.
I hear you implying that the aforementioned act is wrong, but on what level? Since so many of us have such a weak, disjointed moral code by which we judge these kinds of acts, we don't feel that we have the right, or the authority to call these acts what they are - WRONG! EVIL! Mankind is capable of, and consistently practices EVIL. Mankind has a sickness, and we all have it, some just hide it better than others.
I have no doubt that somebody somewhere on this site will have the audacity to proclaim that what these men did to this woman is perfectly acceptable, and fine, as long as it does not infringe on their own personal moral codes. Nobody has the right to tell anyone that what they are doing is wrong, they will say. Nobody has a moral code that is in anyway superior to anyone elses. Anyone who says they do is a zealot, a fanatic, an evangelical nut.
What's wrong with the world? Lots. What these men did is just a flagrant, out in the open example. How people react to it is equally the problem, in my opinion, (which is not more important or right than yours)
