Do you think there is more crime been commited these days.Are we as safe as we were 5 years ago.I don,t feel safe anymore teenagers are out of control and seem to commit wilful damage all the time.Where I live we are always getting garden theft and people prowling about in the middle of the night.Is this country too soft on punishment or what is the cause of all this lawlessness.

I think there is a lot more crime but I don't feel any less safe as its about being sensible about your personal safety. There are certain areas that I wouldn't walk through in the dark otherwise I could guarantee I would be mugged but I don't feel unsafe walking by myself at night or in the dark and don't feel unsafe in my home. I do worry slightly about burglarly more because of the inconvenience it causes and having to replace items and the time but I don't feel anymore indanger of burglarly in recent times. I think that people who are not sensible about where and when they go places are probably at more risk but each person just needs to be sensible.

How much in newspapers and magazines do you believe.With celebrities I take most of it with a pinch of salt.Politics too can be blown out of proportion in my opinion then again I do get carried away with some of it especially bad press about celebs and the state of the country that is the pessimist in me I suppose.Are you easily influenced by what you read in the papers and magazines,would it be able to influence you on consumer products.

its not worth believing everything the papers say after all they get paid for a story that they think buyers will buy the paper for , its all focused on what they want people to believe like a type of brainwashing as is advertising / consumerism kids see something they want it as do adults i suppose

Have you ever felt something was missing in your life that you needed more somehow,that maybe life was a little flat.That is how I feel but not sure what to do,it is probably because I have worked full time all my life and am now redundant and feel that I need a challenge or a goal but I am not sure what to do any ideas.I don,t really need a job that bad I will do anything so can afford to be choosy and so far have not seen anything to fit the bill.So what can I do in the meantime to fill the empty feeling.

I'm missing out on good luck. I could do with some right now.
