What is wrong with US?

A string of attacks in the U.S. in the last month left 44 people dead in all.

A gunman killed 10 people and himself in Samson, Ala.; shootings that began with a traffic stop in Oakland, Calif., left four police officers and the gunman dead; an apparent murder-suicide in Santa Clara, Calif., left six dead; and a gunman went on a rampage at a nursing home Sunday, killing seven elderly residents and a nurse who cared for them. "

44 lives are lost, 44 families are still mourning the lose of someone they loved, and that is just in one month! What is wrong with people?? And why do they take the lives of others? Of people they don't even know! It makes me sick, every day on the news its always another sad fucking story, kids shooting up schools in other countries, its always violence and murder... WTF?!

I hate going out in public, for a few different reasons. 

1. No one pays the fuck attention to what they are doing. - they are all wrapped up in their cell phone conversation and their own little bubble to possibly consider the person you just cut off, or the fact that you're going 30 in a 45. People need to pay attention and realize they're not the only one in the mall, grocery store, driving on the street, anywhere. It's called manners and consideration and its obviously something NO ONE is teaching their kids anymore. 

2. Everyone is in a hurry! Seriously... I do the speed limit because I can't afford a speeding ticket! And I leave early enough that I don't have to hurry. I hate being rushed, I hate being late. My class starts at 8 am and I leave before 7:30 and live not even 3 miles from my school. Traffic is hell after 7:30 and its full of everyone in a hurry to get to work. if its 40 mph I'm not going to go over 45. I don't want to get pulled over, that will make me late, plus cops camp the same spot almost everyday so no, I'm not going to speed up even though you're on my ass. Go around, and kiss my ass while you're at it. 

3. People need to GET OVER THEMSELVES! Ok so, you're walking in a store and someone damn near misses your grocery cart because they don't have the decency to look where they are going and realize they're not the only one in the fucking store. People have no regard for anyone, its like you expect everyone to be cautious and watch out for you and you just go along as you please, w/ no regard for how you're treating people around you. 

I strongly believe smiles are contagious, I wish I could say the same for kindness. Everyone has problems, and places to be, and things to do, not just you. So slow down, and maybe smile for once, hold the door open for someone if you meet them at the door. Let someone go ahead of you if you meet them at an intersection. Everyone seems to be so pissed off all the time. Don't get me wrong, life fucking sucks, but that doesn't mean you have to let it effect you, because you don't know how you effect someone else. It's sad to say that a lot of all this is because of horrible parenting. Parents that didn't take them time to teach their kids true values in life, and manners, and respect. I don't have to know you to respect you. I lose respect for you when you disrespect anyone, including yourself. I can only hope that one day there might actually be somewhat peace on earth, where we can all just get along and just..
