A casual society "breeds" disrespect; with no hierarchy, there is no authority. Children today call their parents and grandparents by name - they are friends. The same goes with students and teachers, "subordinates" and managers.

This is a bugger-all society, where law and order do not exist in the eyes of many, particularly the xyz generations.

Everyone talks about rights and equality, and therefore the drunkards, hoons, thugs and crims, can still argue their way out of trouble, and the law cannot do anything about it.

It is true that history shows there were corruption in the police force and cases of brutality. But then only small percentage of the police tainted the image. There are a lot more good police than bad ones. We cannot just throw our hands up in the air and keep curbing the police power. We have to give them a bit more power to carry their duties, and entrust them to keep us safe from the scum of the society.

Binge drinkers normally drink to excess when they are with their “mates”. They have low self-esteem; are show-offs in a group, but behave like “chickens” when in isolation. Once again, the public is picking up the tab to look after someone's children.
