How would you fix our 'broken' society?





Before anyone puts this in P&L, I would just like to say this is to be light-hearted.

Me?

Remove our obsession with copious amounts of alcohol, and replace with adventure sports and outdoor activities.

Enough said... although a small amount of social drinking after a days outdoor adventuring is always fun... :smile:

Slightly OT, Bertrand Russell was once asked what it was that accounted for his generally happy disposition and unfailingly positive outlook on life. Was it because he had as a firm atheist nevertheless achieved a philosophical outlook that enabled an enlightened existence, or perhaps human relationships were at the heart of his ease with the world and life? He replied that he put it down to his habit of 'defecating twice a day with unfailing regularity'.

I'd pass some kind of legislation to ensure every single person who's physically able to do so would have at least one hour's bike riding every week. I truly believe cycling is the key to better physical and mental health and it's almost impossible to do without a big smile on your face. The world would surely be a happier place if more people (many more people) cycled.

Stop judging others so much. Everyones got an opinion nowadays, sticking noses into others business. Just accept we're all different.
 
Compulsory wearing of a clowns nose when sticking it into other peoples business. Neither side could possibly take it seriously then.

Further to Sweepeas' Bertrand Russell quote, I've just read one by Josh Billings along the same lines.

Maybe AllBranTM on draught would be my suggestion?

People getting pissed and scrapping on a Saturday night is everyone's business. They affect home life, town centre's become no-go zones, the impact on their family (domestic violence) is horrendous, and that's without involving the emergency services.

Having fun and participating in sport/adventure impedes no-one.

We can all go along and be complicit to thuggery, or we can challenge it and show them another way (that doesn't involve the Lord)
