Yes morality erodes slowly over time. Why is that, do you think?

I am not a stuffy academic. This is not a strange theory. It is based on some facts. Some criminals are made, not born. Just like terroist. It comes down to the treatment syndrome. If you treat everyone like a criminal, then what you get are criminals. Just like the police states, that the USA and UK. Are slowly turning into. The more you take away, nomal peoples rights. The more who are going to turn to 'fighting' against the government, to retain those rights. The USA and UK, did not have 'civil wars' for nothing! Or did there?
Where is your proof that rich kids, do just as much crime as poor kids?
Ask your rich friend, why he steals gel from Walmart. I am sure the answer will be something like. 'Boredom', or 'for the kick/rush'. I assume that he has had wealth his whole life. That he has never had to 'earn' anything.
But i glad you mentioned the rich criminals. This is more for my justice thread. But it fits here as well. What happens to these rich people? Well lets look at UK newspapers. Robbie Williams can put one kg of coke up his nose. What happens, ole 'good old robbie' the bad boy of pop. Naugthy boy. What happens to 'Joe Average' for the same thing. 3-5 years!

Yeah, the UK is fucked up! I worked my ass off in England for 5 years. Overtime, etc. All i managed to do, was live, work and sleep. Oh i did manage to save a massive £200. In those 5 years. Yes i am off to a lux hoilday in the sun. Not!. To this day, the working class. Are being treated like monkeys. There being paid peanuts.
What goes 'up', must come 'down', unless it goes around and round. |
