What is it with everyone sueing each other over stupid little things?
Seriously, the human species is going downhill fast. All we can think about is money and will take any chance we can to get some, the more the better. Money has even greater pull than sex these days. Just the other day, some gimp successfully sued some poor guy, because he tripped on a garden hose in the guy's front yard and broke his wrist. The thing is, he wasnt even invited, he had just broken in and was making off with a computer. And yet he got a payout of 20,000 dollars. How fucked up is that? Nothing is free anymore, the emotions of care and compassion for the fellow human do not exist anymore, instead they have been replaced by thoughts like "how much can i screw this guy over for?" Best friends stab each other in the back for the price of a bottle of coke, lovers ditch each other because one has no money to lavish the other with gifts with. Now you tell me this - Just how screwed is this world going to get before we realise we are slowly killing each other? I, for one, am sick of it. Im sick of being screwed over, im sick of seeing this world and this society CRUMBLING before my very eyes. It is SAD. Why cant people just grow up?
