We Live In A Country...

We live in a country...where it takes murdering 5 people to get a life sentence. Killing a girl and having sex with her corpse just doesn't cut it.

We live in a country...where children's homes turn into graveyards.

We live in a country...where children think its OK to make younger kids perform sex acts on them for use of a trampoline.

We live in a country...where the tabloids control our opinions on what news story is important.

We live in a country...where families profit from the disappearance of their child.

We live in a country...where the media tells you what to listen to, failing that blindly following trends. Your opinion and taste do not matter.

We live in a country...where the equivalent of the United States 'National Enquirer' is the best selling newspaper and everything read it in truth.

We live in a country...where people read about exactly what happens in their favourite TV shows weeks before it happens then laps it up when it finally airs.

We live in a country...where people are judged for NOT going into shitty nightclubs and bars, where the main result of the evening is always trouble.

We live in a country...where the political leader wasn't elected (although the same could be said for the United States)

We live in a country...where you get money and respect for doing nothing. Or marrying a footballer.

We live in a country...where people worship musicians who are drug addled morons (hey at least Nikki Sixx et al could write a good song)

We live in a country...where the majority of young people all dress the same, drink pisswater beer and start fights every weekend, and the minority mocked for not doing the same.

More as I think of them...

Till next time.

We live in a country where people live in fear of young gangs, purely because the police can't even do anything if they wanted to.
