Good God people have become so insensitive to others feelings lately. I am so sick of people being so mean and hateful. What is wrong with this world? if there were more humane people we would have a lot less violence and fighting. What can we do about it?

We can start by setting a good example. We can be helpful, and considerate ourselves and not let the rudeness, greed or sloth of others change who we are. We can remember the next time we are inconvenienced that there is another side to the story.
Example: I was served by a cashier tonight that was obviously new. He was polite and courteous, but didn't have the experience to know how to handle my check after it wouldn't scan. It ended up that he had to cancel the order and re-ring it. I could have been unpleasant and complained about his incompetence, but I chose to be supportive and forgiving. He responded to this treatment and will probably be a better clerk tomorrow and hopefully remember and give someone the same treatment when something like this happens to him in the future.
We can't change everyone or everything, but we can have a positive effect on our little part of the world.

Kerry you sound like me when I was a teenager back in the 60's.
My generation fought for peace and love. Love not hate.
Stop the war. We were for being a more peaceful generation.
We became bummed out with all the put downs. Seems like nothing has changed. People are still rude, insensitive and uncaring. We seem to have become numb and unfeeling.
Except for a few malcontents who just love to stir things up.
Education is the answer. Always has been. We need to teach our children that there is a better way. We need to plant the seeds today in order for a kinder crop to grow tomorrow.

In our house, the kids were being really hateful to each other and very disrespectful to the adults. We took away all of the video games, you know the ones where they kill people and fight with monsters and hear filthy language. It had consumed their whole life and they would hurry through everything they had to do just to get back to the game. If you called them for something they would yell that they couldn't, I am playing a game. They are all boxed up now and the attitudes have imporved along with grades. If we don't teach kids to respect others in the home they will never respect anyone outside of the home.

The only thing we can do about it is on a personal level. Be a good person, and lead by example. I don't think we can change the world, but we can affect the people we come into contact with on a daily basis. A smile can go a long way to making someone feel better.

Yes, I agree with your statement. More and More people are living life with Stress and Depression. They become unattached to the people and world around them (insensitive). The love and respect for "Self" is gone, and they hate everyone and everything, which causes them to become mean and hateful to others. They have to find the root of their problem, they have to help themselves. There is not much you or I can do for them. Maybe, just stay out of their way.

I know what you are talking about. Talk about insensitive. That question was just meant to hurt.
But I think it's always a good thing to know what you're up against. I'd rather know the truth, than be ignorant of how people really feel.
I don't know what we can do about it...besides dying and going to heaven.

For some unknown reason the whole world is turning that way and there is no need for it. People are so ignorant and rude and they don't care about anybody's feelings. They think they are better than everybody and they aren't. I think that God needs to come and get the chosen few that believe and get us out of this mess.

What you can do is join a happy group. Usually people that don't like killing animals are peaceful and nice, but I'm not being stereotypical. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do about it, 'cause there will always be people that are mad at the world and take it out on the rest of us.
