What's happening to society?

[skyep]

There's been so many bad news items today like the young lad 'Gordon Gentle '19 who served in Iraq, his death needn't have happened had he been given the right equipment to protect himself.
The mass shooting in a Finland school
A man found dead on a bonfire in Merseyside, supposedly murdered by youths who filmed the attack on a mobile? Sometimes you just want to lock yourself away.

liverpoool seems to be descending into hell
what with the boy shot outside the pub noone caught yet .
now beating a guyb to death and burning him ??

the shooting is a sad fact of life i think every week or so round the world theres some shooting outrage .

and as for the guy in iraq im sorry he didnt have the equipment , but that aside i disagree with his mother rose and other mothers of soldiers.
joining the army you risk death.
its part of the job im afraid.

leg, I'm sure they all knew the risk when they joined up, but the MOD should supply the basics to give them all a chance!

[windmill1234]

blame the goverment for the war in iraq and for that lads death. all the rest is just pepole off there nuts skyep

[skyep]

Knobby - I'm sure a lot feel the same as you do and would leave at the first possible chance to do so!

[Dassie]

Yes, you risk death, but not giving them the best equipment available is criminal !

Would you like to go flying "Gordon B Airways" but someone couldn't be bothered to fit an available wind shear detector first?

[bigmamma]

Hi skyep , how are you feeling tonight sweets ?

Also 2 bodies found in that Nursing Home , poor souls , and their relatives.

[skyep]

windmill, I've never agreed with that war, there's been so many deaths on both sides. Windmill, was I talking to you the other night?

[windmill1234]

yes you where how are you today did you get to work ok.

[skyep]

Hi bigmamma - I'm o.k xx I read that headline - haven't read it fully yet , there was so much depressing stuff, what happened?

[skyep]

Yeah, I got there that morning. Do you finish next Tuesday?

[windmill1234]

what about them nobby.

[skyep]

Knobby, can't see anything stopping 'you' doing the things you want to do in this life xx

[legend758duo]

iagree about the equipment.
but iraq or afghanistan if youre in the army people will be shooting at you.
i think itrs changed days.
mothers have to realise if your son joins up .
its not the scouts.
they kill and they get killed.
how many were killed in northern ireland?

like i say .
if you wanna lessen the chance of being shot or blown up dont join the army.

oh and dont live in england either.
scotland might be colder but its a damn sight safer btw
