Default What a World

I was just visiting news.com.au and saw the breaking news, just had to share this dim view of the world:

Breaking News

* 2:48pm Teenager allegedly raped in own home
* 2:34pm Swimmer, 24, found dead
* 2:17pm Man, 60, run over by tractor
* 2:13pm Woman 'tied with cord, repeatedly raped'

All this in just half an hour!

I think rape, swimming, death and tractors have been around for longer then 30 years.

There are nuts on Earth. Simple as that.

People like this will never learn. They focus only on themselves and aren't aware of the feelings of others.
