Is that the same New York that has the broken windows scheme. ??? Also the stats in NZ do seem to tend towards a certain group ( no not maori , but social base )
Drugs , now while I dont give a monkeys , a case here in Japan ( a big school here has lost a few teacher due to a drugs bust ) , this highlighted one aspect ,,,in my neighbourhood there are 4 million, i think ,people ,,180 people last year were victims of bag snatch, and I think 1 or 2 ( possibly 0 ) were drug related
No i dont think its drugs ( I actually like some drugs ..would like to see a stoner get into a testosterone fight ...or even play rugby ...Dude ,,you get the ball ,,I m just mellow man,,,,)
I think its a lack of simple human decency towards the other man , caused by ( imho ) insitutionilised disregard for the other person ( trickle down , market forces , )
people who are put in marginalised position by others wanting profit .... ( now I am not talking about a real genuine drop kick hoodie ..) I am convinced if you show someone how valuable they are and give them CLEAR guide lines and a fallback position ,,they will perform to expectations ,,no I dont mean introduce an kanban or jit and give a few people he opotunity to shine
I mean ,,dude ,,its a low skill Job its going to get boring so we are going to rotate u round , then give u responsibility ..possibly in the course of a day ,,,, ( screw that up and your gone )
So ...balls in your court ,,,,,, next person you meet ..try a bit of respect ..for the person ,,make it like its the standard, and not a one off,,, ( help a complete stranger ,,( I do )
Nz people are already known for their kindness,,, but I think its slipping in the new age
