Is it just me or are people getting angrier just lately?

I notice talking with friends and neighbours that the "so what"/"not my problem" attitude is being replaced by "whose fault is it?" and "why the hell doesn't someone do something?"

The problems of our society seem finally to be hitting home. The credit crunch is no longer just affecting someone else. We are beginning to see that the "under class" really exists and the benefit scroungers and petty criminals are taking the bread out of our mouths.

Why should we accept that people like Karen Mathews, the kidnapped Sharon's dysfunctional mother, are to be pitied as "disadvantaged" and in need of unlimited financial help when they don't work, never have worked, and have no intention of ever working.

There are thousands of these people, who are too thick to get jobs because they were allowed to opt out of education by irresponsible parents and wishy-washy authorites. Now they have built their own culture of blaming the state for their predicament, expecting someone else to provide them with money, and avoiding any form of personal responsibility.

We need to take a harder line with people who won't contribute before it's too late!
