The world is filled with good people doing good things every single day.

Don't mean to be a Baaah Humbug chaps, but, there always seems to be more inhuman/inhumane, than the opposite. Particularly in modern times, barbaric practices long ago outlawed are now in full flow.

Dog fighting as an example............. Yeah I'm into dogs...... Stealing (this includes burglary, physical attack on dog owners while walking animals), bad breeding (puppy farms), fighting is now rife here!

You might say, possibly a bad example? What about humans you might ask? If you live in London, particularly close to the center, take a look around. Kings Cross Square is adorned with homeless each and every morning. While down the road high earners live in £800K apartments.

Yes the human race can, and do pull together, but some times, to me, it seems the disasters neglect the everyday occurrences. Just my 2 pence worth. Don't expect you all to like, or hate it.

^ Brings back memorories of my monthly visits to Mabledon Place, upon exiting Kings Cross and making the half mile or so walk along Euston Road I would always see a multitude of differing scenarios and rather spitefully think "I hope this never happens in my city" but as sure as hell, it is now widespread across the UK.
