RE: Is Common Sense Dead? - 5 Year Old Girl Fined £150 for Lemonade Stand

in #law7 years ago

there is actually something dysfunctional in our society. A friend just told me about a young girl using her i-phone while driving drunk with her 14 yr old sister and a friend. She lost control and flipped the car killing her sister. She took photos of the whole thing including her sister lying dead in the road with a bashed-in skull.

Every day I watch the news and ask myself, where is the humanity?

Sort:  

Wow that is some sick psychopathic behaviour.

Is it society or the availablity of tech?

If camera phones were around in the middle ages youtube would be horrific.

There are examples through history of people bemoaning declining society. In reality now is the safest time in history to be alive.

yes, that's definitely part of it - but what's alarming to me is people putting aside normal human tendencies to help in favour of recording the moment

This the new generation of "record everything and do nothing to help". I live 10 min from the place where a few teens recorded a guy drowning and wouldn't even call 911.

I heard about that too - as a parent, I don't know what I'd do - a teen like that is missing something
