Is It Worse Now, Than Then ?

[Cormac135]

Cheating and stealing, violence and crime ?

 

[HoodedRat]

Yes.

It comes and goes, like the weather. Some years we get a lot of snow, some years we don't.

I think statistically there's been a trend toward less crime. But is it global warming?

I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about

 

[Cormac135]

I think it's getting worse, people have just stopped reporting it to the police.

Locally it's better.

Locally it's better.

But then you never know what evil lurks behind your neighbours front door.

I think that all those Pollyannas like Steve Pinker should be kicked squarely in the nuts!

No idea who he is, is he like that Wavey Davey fellow, if so, kick away.

I don't know who Wavey Davey is, so I guess we're equal.

Steven Pinker's Pollyannaism.

Defiantly worse, mass shootings, drive by, cops shooting unarmed people.
But, when that happens, I play the glad game!

It might be getting worse, but even more, we are more aware of crime because of our more advanced information reporting than many years ago.
