...(IMO): Is it time to consider closing down the humanities disciplines in our universities to all but the study of misanthropy.

...Only when one is attacked from without, such as the events (it seems) only you and I hold a strong view towards, does our tenuous hold on peace and security in our home environment become clear towards its reality that such security can only be described as vaporous at best.

...Lets dissect the events of our described experiences (Which are not untypical of the mass) to weed out the culprits ensuring powerlessness of the victim (honest folk; us)!

Policing:

Firstly, fellow citizens are deluded to believe the Police force exists in our community to protect the innocent; that is the first and most primary fallacy!
Police are now a product of University humanities training and exhibit the symptom of a modern day malady described as "PC" in their dealings with criminals rights as a priority in Policing duties.
Once was a time in the dim past when the local sergeant was given the official "Nod" to issue stern (physical) warnings to louts and thugs!
Gone now, at an exponential rate applicable to the increase of lawlessness and anti-social behavior: The result is loss of control (safety) of the streets and public areas in our communities.

Lawyers:

An narcissistic and unconscionable group among us incapable of considering any issue of law outside the area of "theater". A useless (and dangerous) product from the Humanities! (Floating atop the cauldron of society as "scum", Julia Gillard, John Howard et al).

Multiculturalism:

Last on this subject of social decline but definitely not the least is this nonsense. The money poured into the black hole of "blacks" rights and the endless bleeding over the subject of missed opportunities is this one. With 2% of the Aboriginal population employed and the remainder given free reign to plunder society at will, little wonder the likes of Diver Dans and Individuals remain bewildered and totally unprotected in a society we built and now maintain, with hard work!

DD:”Put simply; (they were anxious to attend jail asap to reinforce their developing reputations and were unfazed by any future miss deed the illogical objective may require)!”

Doesn’t this suggest that society stood aside and left children to be raised with this attitude? Or do you mean communities today encourage and support families with these attitudes? Is it govt or is the problem govt contracts out to various non govt providers who make a lot of money claiming to be successful supporting families identified at risk? Families first, Brighter futures, Youth off the streets, Stronger Families – don’t quote those as I suspect the names of these services change regularly like bankrupt businesses do.

DD:”With 2% of the Aboriginal population employed and the remainder given free rein to plunder society at will,...”

You lost me there, I don’t know very much about the aboriginal population but it’s nice to see the finger pointing in any non Muslim direction.

None of this seems new, reminds me of Oliver Twist.

I remember watching a thing on American gangs and how members would join the army to gain knowledge of weapon use. Weird that even the army training they went through didn’t teach them that they were making crappy choices. Course I don’t know much about USA military training either.

So achievement in some human groups when looking like the positive (or normal) is unlikely will strive for a negative achievement like a prison sentence, being known as the toughest most violent dude, best thief around etc. I know how to fix this in toddlers, dunno about a man sized 15 - 17 year olds. They need separating from their pack and the Hollywood dog eat dog mentality first? Not that our youth here are ready to star in something like “Louis Theroux - Law and Order in Johannesburg”.

Mostly I like everything OUG said.
