Is your 300 safe?

Post by jtbo » 09 Aug 2011 11:56 am

Our news are filled with pictures of angry mob setting cars on fire in UK, in one pic, someones MX-5 was burnt, hopefully nobody's 300 is in wrong place at wrong time.

Probably situation is not as bad as what news are telling here, according to news it looks like three cities are on fire completely and such things really don't happen, I think :shock:

Have to say for once I'm not worried about the 300-series :-( It's the residents and small business owners I really feel bad for :-(

You seen this?

Scum is the kindest word that springs to mind ...

Capitalism I think its called.
Considered acceptable on a global scale - invading a counrty, killing thousands, to steal some oil or swap a reigeme.
Harder to swallow when youre watching it in internet technocolour, but its certainly indicative of human nature isnt it?
It seems.

Id rather do someone a good turn than a bad, but if the bricks start flying round here, im getting an ipad. :?

Change of human nature can only come if one starts from himself.

One can change path of river, but it is easier to change path of self, is it not?

Yeah, people are suffering always in such events, it is always a tragedy for those living middle of it, hopefully those responsible of such lowly actions can be made carry weight of their actions on their shoulders.
