    Until we have a sort of psychological/personality NCT test each year, people with dysfunctional and anti-social issues are going to be part of society.

    God knows how it will be addressed in the future.

    Whether it's a dystopian surveilance society, where all bad deeds are captured, or a chip in our brain or computer to read our brains periodically to see we're being good citizens.

    But until people are forced to change, they won't. Certainly not in a capitalist society whether there are people who will always be better and more successful than those looking for state handouts.

    E-meters is what we need.

    Seriously though, if you think about why we do things you can see a lot of it is down to upbringing. Which we don't choose.

    The kids of smokers tend to smoke, the kids of 3rd level educated people tend to go to 3rd level and so on.

    They may be cnts, and I'm not excusing them, but nature and nurture are things we don't choose.
    Like if you look at some of the total skangers out there and then realise that Jesus, they have kids, you can see why these people are so easy to find.
    Some people just simply aren't raised to not be filthy.

    And if you tell them in adulthood not to do it, it only gets learned on the surface, its a footnote, its got shallow roots. Its not something they've known all their lives which they do without even thinking.

    When you deal with the public ...nothing shocks you anymore .
    I recently had a woman in her late 70s crying going home in my taxi .
    I asked her " was she ok "?
    She told me she had just sold her small shop that her parents had given her .
    The shop was in her family since the 60s .
    She said " I couldn't take dealing with people anymore ."
    " people have changed so much in our country "
    " people complaining about the price of products in her small shop and comparing prices to lidl or aldi ".
    I got the impression she felt she had let her parents down .

    Or a more basic solution, boarding schools.
    Kids get raised by a state education system, not the parents.

    I don’t think people are cunnts, just deeply insecure.

    I see no way that this could go horribly wrong, none whatsoever.

    Yeah, I think that's bad but publishing a car with plates visible is not on.


    Em, Why not ??
    The plates are on the Car. Any member of the public who was in the vicinity could obviously see this.
    So what if it's shared on Boards. Now another 300 or so people have seen this, and know what a Tool owns this Car......unless it's your Car ???

    People are the same wherever you go, there is good and bad in everyone and you learn to give each other what you need survive - together....alive.

    I worked as a cleaner for a time.

    You can tell a lot of a person in how they left a bathroom or office space.

    Most people who are cnuts are expressing what they fell inside about themselves.

    They are to be pitied really.

    Was Flutt a cnut?

    Do some people wake up every morning and decide

    "How can I be the biggest f*cking c*nt on the planet today"

    and then spend their day being an absolute f*cking **** to their fellow humans.

    I walked into a bathroom stall today where there was a puddle on the floor and a sh1t on top of the bin. Like, who does that? I was lucky. I walked back out from there but someone works there and would have to clean that up. Like the toilet was right there but whoever did that shat on the bin and pissed on the floor instead.
    Reminds me of the time when I had a hospital appointment a few years ago. There was a large family of people that are known to move around. The kids were running across the chairs in their wellies covered in dirt and pulling all the leaflets off the wall. They were running in and out of the toilet with not a word said to them. I needed the toilet so went in and one of them had shat on the floor in front of the bowl....Lovely stuff

    Regardless of what the song says I think you'll find people are not the same wherever you go. Not by a long way.

    When I was over in Australia as well my wife was a cleaner for a relatively large but remote motel. One day she came home in tears, some ass hat had taken a full sh1t in the showers and she had been forced by the manager to clean it up.

    That's before I get to mentioning the absolute state rooms got left in on a regular basis.

    People are filth buckets when it doesn't regard their own property, and even sometimes when it does.

    I had to clean hotel rooms many years ago. Never experienced anything like that and would have handed in my notice if I was forced to clean up excrement.
    I worked in a 5 star business hotel though so I guess that helped. And they weren't Irish or Aussies :pac:
    The worst was cleaning up after families in the summer when there were family discount rooms, but nothing disgusting, just nappies left in bins that could easily be disposed of.
