Violence, oh what entertainment:
PC shoot up simulations,
TV, movie representations.
Here lie values abandonment.
Seen as escapism - it’s marred:
Young male minds known to love this stuff…
Real life, relationships too tough -
And rational thought just too hard.

Many thanks for the fave, Priya🙏
Such true words Dave, why can't our world be more peaceful.

A question worth pondering, Andy.....
Oohh yes, lack of rational thought applies to me too. Well, I only got 3 brain cells to think with. lol.
Knew that already - fresh news, SVP.
Yes - since when was I rational?! lol.
It's obvious that three brain cells are too many. There's a lack of organization and communication. Couldn't you send two away on separate holidays? When the stay at home cell gets distraught and lonely, that's the time to feed it some nutritious brain food and institute a training programme which would build it up to cutting edge capacity...or something like that......
Yes lol.
No it isn’t but there you go. Very relatable and resonates clearly. 🕊️🙏🏻
Yeh - that's where I'm forced to go far too often (Don't tell me I'm rubbing shoulders with the wrong people..😢..)
If it's the truth, its the truth. This is the truth.💯 Well done, Dave! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
In truth I thank ye, Tristan.👍
I've always been mystified about the entertainment value of zombies. If I want to be disgusted, I'll just read politics. Original thoughts? Hardly. Well spoken.
Nah - my thoughts aren't particularly original, but I felt the need to speak them anyway.... now if that's not quite what you meant.... Zombies forever...away from me...now if only I could do that with a certain kind of politician...
I'm a bit tired of it all...
Thanks for the call.
Brutal honesty, that's what it is. A necessary indictment against the erosion of values and subversion of morality.
Yeh - I've never been worried about being honest; and if at times that's brutal.. well I learned to duck early...
Thank you for your support.
completely in sync with your thoughts here
keep these gems coming..
I try, I try...
Many thanks for your support, Nafisa.
most, and always welcome
take care -stay safe
Take care.
I don't mind people escaping into their gaming machines and shooting up the world.
It's when the clowns actually translate it into reality.
Seemingly, kids spend more time gaming than they do in school now.
Probably why you never see them in the holidays now.
Get your argument - Question is the connection with reality and high powered rifles, or anything which sends a projectile out of one end....?
Powerful and poignant.
That gilded bird down there got in first as far as I am concerned .. I had to put it that way because if I had said/writ Goldfinch took the words write out of my mouth, I imagine his claw woulda got stuck in my craw or summat .. perhaps .. Bravo .. I'm all for truth you old dog .. Neville 😎👍
By sheer weight of contributions Andy Goldfinch always gets there in the end. One of the stayers.
