Crazy, just crazy...



What is this crazy world coming to?
Explosions at the Boston marathon, whoever or whatever is responsible has to be a loony tune. I mean why cause such pain to innocent victims. I just don’t get it. Actions like this accomplish nothing constructive.
And football hooliganism, well I don’t get that either. What kind of example is that to youngsters. What message does it send? Yay, come along to a game and afterwards let’s just beat up the opposing teams supporters just because we feel like it. Hang on I thought that sportsmen and their supporters should behave in a sportsmanlike manner. Let’s look up its definition shall we….

sportsmanlike

adjective
following or according to the rules <admired by the fans for his sportsmanlike conduct on the ice>

What do you think…

Me, well I think that there is definitely something missing in the world today and that is RESPECT.

The cowardly folks who perpetrate these sorts of despicable acts obviously have no self-respect whatsoever. Self-respecting people value themselves, others and their community. Self- respecters are able to decide to say ‘no’, they don’t just go along with a crowd, they are proud to stand up and be responsible for their own actions.
