For shame…

I recall the days in eons since past when one could believe that everyone - no matter who they were - was not inherently stupid, that ignorance was the core and idiocy was but a temporary physical rendering.

Now I see otherwise. Some people are just dim-witted, unintelligent, and dense. No two ways about it. You’re not “hilariously naïve” or “innocently raw”, just plain, unequivocally brainless.

And here is a list of the fools in question:

How not to deal with anti-social behaviour

If there’s one thing this legislature-happy government has failed to do (among the gazillion other things), it’s deal with anti-social behaviour and Britain’s increasing social problems in the correct way. For those across the pond who may be unaware, we have something in Britain called an ASBO - an Anti-Social Behaviour Order - as well as CRASBOs (Criminal Related Anti-Social Behaviour Order). Can’t say I knew about the latter before I did some digging.

So what is an ASBO? It’s essentially a civil order that people get slammed with for engaging in “anti-social” behaviour that may have otherwise resulted “alarm, harassment, or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as him or herself”. Yes, this is the Justice System’s answer to a slap on the wrist. The thing is, what is anti-social behaviour? Is it dealing with the increase in drunken violence among younger age groups? No. Is it helping to maintain order by dissuading people from making trouble that intentionally upsets or intimidates people? Not exactly.

RE: What would you do if you got warned for this? - This is what I’d do; blog about it

This is in response to this topic, in particular this part or rather the quoted PM. It’s not normal for me to comment on issues that are somewhat external to IF, at least not in this way, however I am feeling particularly malicious today so I shall rant in favour of the little person for a change.

WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS PROFANITY

If cursing offends you or your miniscule mind, please bog off. As explained in my Disclaimer I try not to swear but it happens. And if I’m ranting, you can bet it’s not always pretty. So, don’t click the “More” link and read on only to then complain that “omg u totallee cussed”. I don’t have time for tools.
