Has the world gone evil?

Over the past months I've heard more stories of terrible killings all across the world. I am sick and angry at all of these cruel people who are killing all who are innocent. I feel like doing something but I'm sure its a bad idea. If I could get rid of all of the evil people in this world I would do it in a heartbeat.

Right now all of these terrible killings is getting to me and making me sad and angry.

You guys think this world is messed up?

Read history. Makes today's world look tame.

It's not such a bad world to live in today; I consider myself lucky.

I believe the world has gone bad in my opinion. People have let conscience become history meaning gone away. People killing other people, abortion, parents abusing their kids, drugs, and gangs. Probably whole more. This world is not safe anymore...

Use to a long long time ago, people didn't even have to lock their doors cause there was no fear of any break ins and murders that involve with break ins. This world will get much more worse before it gets better.

We have Liberals and Republican at each other throats all the time. Fighting on who is right and who is wrong.

When has the world EVER been safe? Never. I agree with LB. Its actually much better than our rather brutal past

Yeah. Unfortunetly this isn't anything new. The only difference is that we're more open about it today. We don't hide bad news anymore (things like depression, suicide, abortion, and mental disorders - no matter how small - weren't really talked about in the past).

However, I know that personally I live in a relatively safe area of the world, and I'm really lucky. So I probably don't have a really good picture of the horror that's out there.

I live in America, D.C. area.

I'd believe that Canada is one of the safest places. How do New Zealand and Australia rank, if anyone knows?

According to stats, DC is one of the scariest places,

Not to mention all the mayor drama.

Anyway, I don't think the world is any better or worse off than it ever has been.

I'm a bit confused here. Is it the whole world that has gone evil, or just America or something? Has it gone evil or always been this way?

Leo Wyatt · **Tue Jan 17, 2006 4:55 am**

I guess it all depends on where you live

In my hometown, it was safe til in the mid 80's. Then it really gotten worse in the 90's and 2000's.

New Zealand is just as violent as the rest of the world!The whole place is full of bikie gangs/tribal gangs that have no regard for the law!
I saw a story in a mag about a guy who had been tortured to death by his room mate!
He had to toture some one to death to be initiated into a bikie gang!
The mother of the victim released the pictures of what her son had endured before he died!He had fingers cut off,cigarette burns,bruises all over his body!
I will never forget it!
The Moari gangs do not have any fear of the police and do what they like!
I am not singling a country out,Australia has more than its fair share of criminal activity/gangs ETC....
A movie that I have been told that is very close to true life in NZ,is called 'Once were warriors'.It has a second movie that follows the story up.Check them out and you might change your mind!

Think back, about 2000 years ago. Don't you think the world was messed up then? There has always been violence on the world, because it's a part of every human. Yes, everyone. Maybe some have it stronger than others, but we're all capable of horrible things, trust me.
Maybe this is one of those times the world is doing a little worse than normal, but after such a time there will always be a time when things will get better, at least, I hope so.

I thought Luxembourg was the safest country to live in? I'm probably wrong though

Where I live now is very safe, compared to most places. The last murder to occur here (as far as I know) happened in 1864, there are children playing in the streets in the summer, about half the village knows who I am (either through Johny or the church) and we normally leave our back door unlocked. It's a village that people come to live in for a few years, and end up never leaving

The police never carry guns, either.

Many bad things happen, but good things happen in the place, we(my family and I) do good work for a Dutch organisation called Dierenhulp Zonder Grenzen(Animalhelp without limits). We mostly rescue streetdogs that otherwise would be murdered in Spain.

Let us go back to living with the honour system! You insult me, I duel you to the death or stab you on the spot. I then gain honour for defeating you and a round of applause. MAYBE if I'm proven that I was in the wrong then I have to pay the family of the deceased the value of the person I killed, (yes, people had values). I bump into you on the rode and don't excuse myself, you kill me for honour, etc, etc.

Much safer back then than now.

Excuse me Teya but my home state is not in Georgia.

So before you get mean hearted might want to check your atitude.

I may live in Georgia but it is not my home state.

You don't even know me .

IntrepidIsMe · **Tue Jan 17, 2006 5:39 pm**

If we have an issue, we should take it to the PM system. I don't see the issue she posted as having anything to do with you in particular, but with the state itself. We can't exactly all know each other's personal history and know what state whoever is from. Perhaps if one wishes to avoid confusion, one should be specific.

(look, it works for me, too!)

I don't think that Deb meant to sound rude. She just misunderstood, and she should have asked first. She often misreads things. I am not excusing her actions though. I done fussed at her . I especially when I was viewing all this.

In my opnion, the world is gone bad, and there is no real peace no matter where you live.
