Saw a video of a woman who was being questioned for
being drunk and disorderly. She refused to show her ID
to the policeman. She called him an asshole, a piece of
shit and a cocksucker. For a while she was getting away
with her verbal abuse and noncompliance, but when she
tried to walk away, out came the handcuffs and she found
herself on the ground screaming and being cuffed and
arrested. And she kicked the cop giving herself more
charges and possibly a longer prison term.

Maybe in cases like this people are too drunk to realize
the seriousness of their situations, or they get those beer
muscles and think they’re invincible and untouchable.
But, as to be expected, things always end badly for them
when they’re cuffed, stuck in the police cruiser, and on
their way to the police station for a booking, criminal
charges, and penalties administered in a court of law.

No safety nets. Poverty everywhere.
Buildings that wouldn’t pass code in
first world countries. Less chances
to get ahead. Fewer rise up out of
caste-like social structures that in
first world countries are mostly
nonexistant. Legitimate beggars in
the streets. Crime might be higher
out of poverty and no other way to
survive. Family support tighter out of
necessity for surviving the dismal
futures financially and emotionally.
Family members may have to work
at jobs in other countries to send
money home due to lack of jobs in
their impoverished countries.
Nobody gets welfare and social
service benefits. They’re on their own.

God how I love easy going people.
No nonsense. No jerk behavior.
Just enjoyable people who never
make any trouble, and are nice to
be around.

As opposed to people who seem
wired to be jerks and annoying. I
have to wonder if jerks are really
aware of how annoying they are,
and if there is anyway to
rehabilitate their offensive behavior.
Somehow I doubt it.

As opposed to people who act as
if they are superior to everyone
because of God given gifts, like
high intelligence, beauty, or how
much money thay have. I find
people like that insufferable.

Imagine if the world were full of
easy going people. We’d probably
have no wars, no murders, no
fights, fewer tensions, less
arguments, and life would be
more peaceful than it is now.
