Society is in the gutter

Message Bookmarked

The very idea of society has been thrown in a bin, and is now dripping with discarded beans and tin can juice.

30 years ago a child would kick a ball on the street.

I remember we didn't use to lock our front doors, infact we had all our possessions out on the front yard.

Society is a hole
it makes me lie to my friends
it's running down my street
with white powers sneakers
on the beautiful beat of black feet

society is a hole
it beats my friends big heads
my friends have big heads,
I can understand it
but I don't recommend it
you got big big hair
and everybody is scared

society is a hole
it makes me lie to my friends
the assault of holy music
there's a slap in my face
my friends are girls wrapped in boys
we're living in pieces
I want to live in peace

Society is a hole

We were poor but we were happy. We knew the value of things. We never wondered about the value of valuing things.

It's a shambles.

Some of the messages on this thread are funny!

But it is curious that everyone - in about 160 posts on such a fractious board - seems happy to agree entirely with the tone of the thread, and produce more sarcastic parodies of laments for a lost past.

Actually, there are probably some things that were indeed better in the past, and some that were worse. Some things in the world today, one would not want to lose. Some, perhaps one would be glad to see the back of.

In a lot of ways, life for us - the expanded middle classes of the developed world - is probably as good or easy as life has ever been for anyone ever. Yet it is also true, I believe, that the planet Earth, as a physical environment and ecological system, has never been in a worse shape, at least not since it was covered in rivers of lava several million years ago. Some things do get worse, dangerously and tragically worse.

May I congratulate the liberal intelligentsia for the direction they have taken this country in the past forty-odd years. Society? Hardly, or not as I understand the word anyway. This is monitored anarchy! Law and Order has been made redundant. It's all 'Rights' before retribution. Send in the social worker.
Many years ago, we opened doors for women, offered our seats etc, said 'please' and 'thank-you'. Today it's all old hat. We try and murder pregnant school girls! But for Mr Hall, they would have succeeded. A ray of hope.
Would you rather live in my world, or what we have clearly got today?
I have the telephone number of our local Funeral director written down, for when it's needed. The saddest thing is that I won't be sad to leave. 21st century Britain? I hope you enjoy it.

Britain’s Eurovision hopeful Antony Costa unfastens his trousers then casually urinates against a cash machine.

The singer – whose group Blue were chosen to represent the country in the song contest just three days earlier – is ­pictured near Trafalgar Square, only 30 yards from a ­public toilet.

The 29-year-old father of one relieves himself while deep in conversation on his mobile phone, leaving a pool of urine on the ­pavement.

After finishing the call, he ­reaches into his back pocket for his ­wallet.

He eventually re-fastens his ­trousers – with total indifference to other people needing to use the Post Office cash machine – after withdrawing a wad of notes.

It's clear from his face he has demanded Winston Churchill forces his mouth open, and delightedly pumped urine down the great man's gullet. As a final "one in the eye" for Britain, he "shakes" the remaining droplets on the corpse of a soldier, abandoned in Oxford Street by Tony Blair.

Thought this revival was going to be about a Daily Mail article today about the 14 year old who died at a party in West London:

But one of her teachers blamed her downward spiral on an addiction to the internet.
J@ye Williams@n, who was Isobel’s English teacher at Chiswick Community College, in west London, said: ‘She was into the kind of things that teenagers get into, but she got hooked on the worldwide web. She was part of the Myspace generation. She got caught and we are devastated.’

i told her yesterday that the most recent of her sets i heard was kind of like a metaphor for the potential of society itself, fluid and with momentum, i said "this is what we could make society into!"

Back when the stain of the gutter's refuse had yet to dull our society's bibstraps, a baseball card collection belonged in a child's bicycle spokes, and old dog paws could skitter and scatter, its tongue lolling on a sidewalk-plated fried egg. Yes, the days were hot, but nothing was on fire, nothing was ever on fire in those days, so the hydrants roamed free, across all. But just this morning a car honked at me, as I walked across the freeway, as I am wont to do, and I could not even see the driver through the dirty windshield. I went outside for a breath of the air of my youth and collapsed back onto my bed with lungs greased with the gutter. I went to sleep on unwashed sheets, the sheets of today's society.

we all had names, I know that much. and if you wanted to figure out someone's place in the world, all you'd have to do was ask him his name. Little Tinker was the mechanic's son. and the milkman's son, he was Splosh, of course. Mrs. Stevens' son Killer, what a gentle boy he was, never hurt a soul in his life, but he marched right up those gallows steps on the day he turned 18, because that was his name, that was his destiny, he never questioned it.

these days you see a group of boys playing kickball in the park, you cry out, "Hey Taco! Ho Huntley! How's the weather down there, little Darby?" and nobody answers. not a peep. maybe they don't have names anymore. maybe they're just numbers, symbols, bleeps and bloops on a mobile telephone. I wouldn't even recognize them anymore.

sometimes I think it's the holidays I miss the most—real, genuine holidays, the sort we used to have, when you'd go to the store with a friend to pick out presents for one another, rip apart the packaging and have a go at them there in the aisles, and not a thing the shopkeeper could do—hell, he was probably right alongside you, joining in the Michaelmas spirit!

course, Society was healthy enough in those days to handle a good scare every now and again. try that sort of thing these days, you're liable to get a swift boot in the jaw from an immigrant with no respect for the traditions of this great nation.
