German justice Minister also want to make theft not longer a crime, just an offence. Our justice Minister also said, sexist advertisement was the reason for the cologne attacks.
You let this small stuff happen and whats next? I was hungry, I was horny, I was this and that. My emotions create the urge to do this and that and at the end there is no more responsibility because everyone has an excuse.
Today everyone is so special and they don't care about other people. People think its their right to stand out. I have some friends that work as firefighters, when they go to a car accident and close the lane, they get insults because someone planes now get mixed up. Or they don't clear the lane. Paramedics face the same, insults, spitting and attacks from people. And I don't talk about criminals or scum. Ordinary citizens that freak out when in their car. Or that attack conductors when they want to see the ticket. In the past people tried to not disturb the public, to take themselves back in sake of the higher good. These days, parents almost drive other kids down just because they have to bring their special snowflake kids to school with their big SUVs and block the road complete because they almost drive the kids into school. Then the people that think, I park diagonal in a parking space because its so more ease for me - fuck the others.
Furthermore those people want stuff for free, an extra discount or whatever. They don't ask for it any more, they demand it because they have this special and unique urge.
And you can do nothing about them, when you call them out, they either freak out or act ignorant. Nobody punish this little antisocial behaviour. Everyone complain about this but check the own privilege? Hell no.
In my student dormitory we had a shared kitchen. The papers, to clean it did not help so I just did call out everyone when he / she did not clean properly after cooking. By this the kitchen was always clean but you need always a person as guard dog. Personal I consider it a pity because I prefer less rules and less interaction from other people but for the sake of the social beings we are, we need this. If everyone would clean up his own mess, the world would be a clean place. Unfortunately not everyone is clean and for all the dirty ones, there you need this stuff. More self discipline and social awareness would prevent stricter regulation or downfall. Still its complaining about the human nature and humans are like that so they need leaders and they need people that watch out that everything goes smooth. But this is something that get lost in the more and more selfish individualistic society.
