I have been thinking a lot about the decline of education, especially with regard to reading, writing, and speaking. We really seem to have few standards for proper English in either reading or writing these days, and it truly irks me. I don't expect everyone to be able to write fluently or even speak well, but when I see misspellings and improper grammar on the news and in magazines, it annoys the hell out of me!
So I'm wondering: what are you fed up with, as far as our societies go (I make this plural to include the multiple countries represented by Lush users)? What would you like to see change?

I feel frustrated by the concept that we strive for everyone to fit the same mold. I don't mean size, color, ect. But, we are constantly pushed to think, desire, act the same. It is our differences that make us strong. Those of us who live, work, love outside the norm are just that different. Doesn't mean we need to be changed to fit the 'husband-wife-2kids in matching khakis look.' If that's what you want fine, but don't assume it's what I need as well!
Drinking culture. Especially with teenagers and students. We don't need details, do we?
There is still discrimination that happens based solely on the color of ones skin, sexual bent, sex, economic class or ethnicity. There are still plenty of hate crimes that center on these biases. Why is it so hard to respect a person for who they are?
There is just way to much impatience with ourselves. Jealousy keeps u sfrom being sesitive and understanding. Our society is way to prudish and we still aren't very nice to disabled people.
I get pissed off because so many people do not take personal responsibility for their own actions and actually think they are a victim when they make stupid decisions.
I get pissed off at people that think they deserve a portion of what someone else worked hard to earn.
Two words with a powerful meaning, "Double Standards."
Lazy parents who do not push their children to excel in school, let their kids become lazy and fat, teach their children to grow up to be self-supportive, and refuse to discipline their children. There are a lot of people in our society guilty of this!
It's very trying living in a country where women are assaulted by lawmakers trying to prevent us from controlling our own destines.
The same thing that pisses me off (makes me laugh more like, society itself doesn't piss me off) about societies are the same thing that makes it possible to even have a society.. It's the masses of stupid people that ruin societies but those same masses of stupid people are the ones that allow societies to flourish. You need a bunch of sheep so the shepards can keep a society going. If everyone was a Shepard then we'd do nothing but butt heads. It's when the stupid masses pick shitty shepards to lead them that society gets fucked up, maybe that DOES piss me off... Like when we elected bush the second time. So I guess the thing about societies that piss me off is that most of us as individuals are bright but as a society we don't have the sense God gave a gopher.
I hope that makes sense...
People pretending to be what they're not, and the people who kowtow to it.

I agree with you magical_Felix. Now it's like Bush handed off the doofus baton to Obama. I think they are really on the same team, cause neither one of them has shit for brains and definitely any common sense. This is now 12 years of the worst presidential leadership in our history!
Racism, greed, ignorant people using religion for big business, terrible parents, bad role models, awful justice system, dreadful education system, and poverty are some of the issues that pisses me off about society.
the violent acts such as this! Emma Winnall a 94-year-old woman battered in her bed google it
The fact that people create stereotypes on groups or think that woman are less Than men.
