Good luck with your abrasive approach. It isn't likely to do jack shit.

yes you are probably right. but i will go to my grave knowing i used everything in my arsenal to effect change,
i want to feel my backbone holding my head up when i stand
abrasive is magoos way. uncompromising and absolute, blunt and brutal.  i dont feel an inclination to be popular, liked or accepted, i'll verbally rip your arm off and club you into submission with it. if i can get you get as pissed off as i am about it then thats a win.

The problem is an engrained one over multiple generations. Once you've found a way to solve it you might want to tell the health system about it because a similarly stubborn behavioral problem is at the root of our burgeoning 'lifestyle' related non-communicable diseases epidemic. The doctors can tell patients to stop eating shit food and get off their arses and exercise but changing lifestyles is near on impossible until the person is on death's door. Even then they will battle on with their bad habits. During time I spent in hospital a couple of years back it was common to see patients in wheelchairs, some with IVs still place, outside the hospital entrance having a cigarette. Similarly the accommodation I stayed in (for cancer patients) had an outdoor gazebo area where smokers congregated to smoke and drink in the evenings, and they were all there for cancer treatment. Go figure!

none of this is reason or excuse to kill a child with your bare hands.
none of this explains why we are worse than our peers with infanticide.
it is just aimless excuse making
why are we consistently among the worst in the world?
why are we not ashamed to the core about it?

Some belligerent critic is unlikely to make a jot of difference and may actually increase the aggro that is at the root of their criminal brutality.

and it will still be a hundred times better than the nothing that you want/plan to do.

Good luck with your abrasive approach.

and the best of luck with your namby pamby, sitting on your hands, doing less than nothing, except criticise someone elses efforts approach.
it goes some way to explaining our predicament.
