Hi RedStorms,
Yeah, I know where you're coming from. I see it in the every day, the tv news, the internet news, in the community I live in and at work. It amazes me day to day how the majority of people really are just plain nasty. I don't know what to say to you other than each time I see this crap, I am happy that I am the opposite. I think this is what makes me not fit into the majority of society and frankly I take pride in that - I'm not a user, an arsehole or an arrogant f&*k and lets be realistic the world's full of those. But you know what? I truly take pride in being different from the norm. I have realised over time that its ok to stick by your values and beliefs and that very occasionally you will come across another human being who appreciates that in more ways than one.
I am sorry that you are clearly feeling disillusioned but stick with your self and your principles because ultimately whatever choices you make are about you.
