I blame the ‘gang culture’ for many of today’s ills. If only life were more simple 
Hello to you all (No matter how different you maybe “Hello anyway”
John Lennon put down in words his thoughts on this subject after Yoko told him of her childhood, “IMAGEN” Was the song i’m talking about, Listern to the words?
Both my inlaws worked for many years in the mental hospitals, Mother one day came home late from the A & E Hospital after being attacked via a woman who was in a bed and did’nt hear mother call her( Her Magesty,) (this patient thought she was the Queen, She’n thrown an Glass ash try and it split my Mother-Laws face open, she was off work for weeks, "But when i asked the Mother - Law how she felt about this Patient “she replied” she’d had a very hard life and you would’nt want to walk a mile in her shoe’s, she was a really lovely woman when she’d taken her Medication,
Would’nt it be nice if we all could take a pill once a day and not want to kill each other? And let greed é power rule our lives?
No pills thank you very much!

It might sound extreme but war and aggression between people who are different and think different (religion, gender, race, rich and poor, politics, etc) is as necessary as the love and peace John Lennon and Yoko sang about. You can’t have Labour without an opposition…There will always be people who think differently to you unless, like you say Annie, people are forced to obey.
Hi Old GreyFox,
I think if we had no humans the world might be a better place,
Animals do not make weapons/ bombs/chemicle’s for war,
Im so pleased i not only have found 56yrs ago now some one to love and share our thoughts with,
And I hope many more older folk have done the same, At least we do know what Love is about,
Good Morning Daniel…
I think you need a closer look at the animal kingdom, animals are worse than humans.
Not only do they eat each other, some of them fiercely protect their territory and hunt in gangs.
They fight over the females sometimes to the death, and never ask for permission to impregnate the female of the species. No such word as no, or I’ve got a headache… 
No courts or justice, just survival of the fittest and strongest and the elderly and injured are left to die or be eaten by the buzzards…
I also found a soul partner and best friend 53 years ago, and I couldn’t do without her…
Bad stuff happens in the world but lets not ignore the ingenuity, adaptability, versatility and beauty of the human body. Humans are the most dominant and intelligent species living on this planet…Which I believe will eventually be our downfall…

I reckon cockroaches are smarter. They will still be around when we are long gone.

They haven’t sent one to the moon yet Annie…
And how many own smartphones?
That they don’t bother with smartphones may prove my point! I recall our main advantages are our manual dexterity and versatile voicebox. If roaches had the same physical attributes we would be left far behind.
Don’t forget human’s ability to record and store information
I’m not sure whether you have ever had the misfortune to have to deal with a roach infestation, but they seem to have an amazing memory.
Fortunately not Annie, but I’m like a god to small insects…I have the power to destroy them…
I thought you meant that they come to worship you!

Then it would be us who hide in dark places and only come out at night. Some people are a bit like that I suppose.

We had a roach infestation many years ago. I am pretty sure it came via an egg in a Lidl box (warning to anyone who shops there). I was so innocent that I didn’t have a clue at first what these crafty little bugs were as they were the brown German version. Until they started growing. It took months to get rid of them including some quite extensive caulking, but I was also fascinated by their ingenuity and similarity to the way humans behave when in danger.
Sorry to hear that Annie, I’ll never look at an egg in the same way again. I’m having a boiled one for lunch too…
Lets see how being immersed in boiling water for six minutes does for any stowaways…
Welcome to the world of the internet, computer games and social media Mart…
Hi,
don fall by humans true,
All the rest of what you’ve said ie the rape side of animals (as in humans / Killing for our own gain again as in humans, in fact all you pointed out ref what animals do so do humans,
sorry to clarify it was a roach egg - it looks like a large brown bean.
Some fantastic poison purchased on Amazon did the trick.
Fully agree. Plus humanity, artistry and compassion.
There is probably only a tiny number of people (almost always men) who aggressively pursue something that ends up creating conflict with another group or country. Sadly, it seems easy to get people to fall in behind this “leaders” who demand such sacrifice from others in pursuit of their own goals. Without these aggressive leaders there most likely would be real efforts to simply get along together and to work out how best apply and share the resources available.
