Have people become too soft?

[LabR@t]

When did we become a nation of wets?
What on earth will happen if we are ever tested as a nation again?

I guess it depends what your definition of 'soft' is.

Only if I have too much booze and your mum isn't available to fluff me.

Look all around us, there is a similar pattern across the world in western civilisation. Covid is a perfect example of this.

Mate, we know that even she wouldn't get you going at your age.

 

[LabR@t]

A truly fear for Western civilization I really do.

Covid seems quite a test, tbh. Things are rough, but we're all getting by.

If you are talking about punishment of majority of crimes - then yes.

You may need to expand on these meaninglessly bland statements if you want any sort of debate/conversation, or was your plant demonstrate that we have become do soft we can’t even express our thoughts anymore?

Yet we've seen massive increases in suicides and mental health issues. We're certainly not all getting by.

Show us objective evidence that harsh punishments do anything to reduce crime rates?

Have we seen a massive increase in suicide rates or did we just fear one?

Take away everyone's pensions.

Well that's a silly statement.

In the UK I believe the 1 year reoffending rate is about 40%.
If we let those people locked up or executed them then that would evidently prevent them from reoffending.

Couldn't possibly say

We're a nation dominated by fear to the point of suppression and ruled by a group of people who have almost singlehandedly removed the hope and aspersions of an entire generation. We aren't a healthy nation and I don't think the social state is particularly surprising tbh.

Really? Who are Britain's? Where an amalgamation of the toughest and badest warriors the world has ever witnessed - Romans, Vikings, Celts, Saxons, Normans et el. We have nothing to worry about.

I mean the first thing that page says is they don't have the stats! Curious though, not saying you're wrong. Articles and headlines around around start of lockdown indicated and increase but that could have levelled out as the lockdown progressed.

Isn't testosterone at like a record low amongst western young/middle aged men now? If so, it's probably that.
