The world is in a parlous state.
« on: 17 December 2018, 13:21:27 »

I don't have to list all the crap that's occurring at the moment, from brexit to the collapse of the high street, from Trumps impending indictment to world trade to climate change. We are, indeed, in the shit.
I worry about this, yet my wife spends most of her time singing to herself and has a permanent, stupid, grin on her face. I thought I must find out her secret.
So......from now on I will not be watching/reading the news, and my new favourite tv programmes will be Emmerdale and Coronation Street. It appears that ignorance is, indeed, bliss. She has no fickin clue what is going on.

You're going to have to stop coming here, then, because discuss the next world-ending, depressing event is all you lot do!  :P

Putting aside the tv soaps, does the team reallythink the world is in a parlous state?

I would suggest it is no worse than at other times. E.g. Vietnam war, Pol Pot kmer rouge killings.. pick a time and bad things were happening somewhere on the globe. Anyone that thinks  Brexit is parlous   State needs a dose of reality. E.g. the millions at any one time starving on the planet.

The problem is down to the hiysteria that the media whips up over all news reporting. Each days news report has to be more hard hitting and shocking than the previous day.

The big plus is we have made enormous progress in medicine and technology. Shame it isnt shared equally yet.

The world is always in a parlous state, and we all worry about it, but it just keeps on turning all the same.  :)

I'm shocked that someone who's married to him can sport a permanent grin. I'll have whatever she's smoking, please. :D

She's a very fortunate woman to have you as her husband Uncle STEMO and she clearly know's it!  :-*

So no secret really!  :)

My dad once told me never to lose sleep worrying about things over which I have no control......so I don't! If the world is in a parlous state[although as has been said shit has always happened]then as long as I've done my little bit to try and help I'm happy and if it all hits the fan big style then I'll deal with it best I can,so why worry.

Bit boring. No mass murders, no kidnappings, not even a bit of incest. Pah!
