we're just going to continue to do what we are now?
how depressing. the killers win, no consequences,
why lock up any offender for anything then? why bother with laws at all if we dont apply them?
why is it ok to prosecute and jail a regular murderer but killing a child requires empathy for the killer?
thats a pretty fucked up society we're building.

you want us just to shrug our shoulders and look in another direction liil?
we cant do that we'd have the worst record on earth.
wait no, we have done that and we do have the worst record on earth.
South america is largely third world, we are on our way down to their level but not there yet
a few more years of apologising for the killers, minimising their crimes, doing nothing and paying lip service to our legislation and justice system should finish it.
it will take at least three more terms of stagnant ineffective labour governance to achieve that.

better to change nothing, continue to watch it worsen than to try any other approach?
to strive to fix it a waste of breath and time? or only try to fix it in 'approved' way.?
that hasnt worked, not at all, ever. anywhere.

were i not such a tenacious bastard id be disheartened and depressed at this point and give up like most have, ta lil.
in doing so would bring home to me the parallel between us and our societal ill, and the americans and their societal ill which they seem to have given up on fixing as well.

they say their societal ill is cultural, guns are part of their culture.
i cannot accept that part of our culture includes a predilection for infanticide.
but there it is, the statistics dont lie
None of that is at all what I said.
Once again, this is something which can't be solved quickly. Teaching children empathy isn't 'requiring empathy for the killer.'


Find the causes & address them & we might begin to be able to change this. If you've never had good parenting yourself then you're almost certainly not going to be a good parent & so it just continues on through each generation. The violence, the lack of any feeling of self worth - & possible masking of that with alcohol or other drugs will just continue, & kids will continue to be beaten & abused & some, murdered.
yes, it will continue unless we interrupt it. as it has continued and worsened for fifty uninterrupted years.
to continue on this path is to continue to do nothing but pay lip service to the problem.
children die whilst we wring our hands and pontificate about parenting skills.
yet we take action over-nite when another demographic is targeted? (see christchurch massacre vs guns)
a very sad reflection of our priorities imo, and continued complicity by inaction, enabling it to continue unabated.
So if you disappear out of view You know I will never say goodbye
