Society getting more selfish ?

Paramedics Shocked As Abusive ‘Move Your Van’ Note Left On Parked Ambulance

I think I'd be embarrassed to admit I was this selfish. I do sometimes wonder what goes through people's minds when they do things like this.



It just seems so many people are thinking only of themselves these days.

Re: Society getting more selfish ?

Yes, as a society we are more selfish, but we don't generally behave in that way.
I think the person who wrote that note needs anger management and a bit of decency knocked into them.

I saw this on the news today. Unbelievable.

I'm not sure it warrants a police investigation though. Surely they are too busy for that.

It sounds like it wasn't just a note there were threats made longles, so it may be that they are investigating.

Fair enough, I didn't see that bit.

Re: Society getting more selfish ?

Oh yes the police have got involved, and I think the idiot is going to be prosecuted.
This disgusting act further goes to strengthen my opinion of the U k in general now, society there has been getting worse over a number of years. Its become a case of NIMBY or I dont care about anyone else, or anyone elses property.
You know just the simple thing from another topic about recycling plastic and cans, we have these in most stores or in a seperate room off the store, not a trace of graffiti, dirt , plastic bags etc anywhere , even waste bins provided for bags , hot water and soap to wash hands. I can just picture this in the U K , spray paint , graffiti , probably empty glass bottle because the machines dont take glass. we went today took our bin bag of bottles cans , refund £8 to spend in the store .

I'm not sure Norway is any better; you don't make a convincing case many times.

I suppose really its just one case. I have never heard of that before. It doesn't mean that the whole of society is like it. there are many people around who would gladly help until an ambulance arrives.

Re: Society getting more selfish ?

I posted it because it was about third time just recently I've seen similar, if it were a one off I'm not one for making threads like this as I generally have a happy nature and think best of people.
