How do you see the world nowadays?

I feel the A-team are a lot better at shooting these days, having watched them only recently they were pretty good shots, going back to the 80's they couldn't hit a barn door from 20 feet away. For example when Murdoch i think it was popped up from the back of the hearse and unloaded his assault rifle into the car following 4 feet behind, he didnt manage to hit one villain.

Small Bushes also had the power to flip a car onto its roof back in the 80's too.

A team never shoots anyone

Seriously good role model. Overrated in people's minds.

You have the US based celebrity for the overage position on your Olympic team, I'd rather have a player who wasn't wondering what the best angle for the camera is.

**** off. Beckham is one of the only players in the last 15 years who gave it his all when he played for England. Yes he kicked out at someone, but haven't we all done something daft in the heat of the moment? He's a well spoken guy every time you see him on TV and he has done a lot for charity.

FUBAR. Too many people, too much greed, too little respect.

Have you even seen the incident? Youtube search for 'Beckham Argentina Red Card'.

People have more material goods at all levels of society, but people are no happier for it, families are more disjointed, people expect more for less, or even more for nothing.

Agreed 100% on this.

I do also wonder how much the internet and technology has played a part.

It must be so easy for kids these days to copy whole chunks of text from wikipedia. I remember doing French homework where I had to spend ages translating pieces of text... these days you can just type it and have a search engine translate it for you.

Most of the time if you translate large amounts of text it is wrong and anyone who can speak the language you've translated fluently picks up on the errors.

There is software used now in universities to scan documents (assignments/dissertations) which checks against the internet for copyright violation and plagerism

I know as I'm involved with using said sofware. Let that be a lesson to anyone thinking of cheating. You don't want to get done for plagerism and thrown out of uni...do the work yourself.
