The World Is Getting More Sick And Twisted By The Day

I  got on a bus today and as always picked up a copy of the Metro to see what has been going on in the world. Recently I've been seeing nothing on the front page I find particularly interesting, mostly stuff about taxes and money in offshore accounts, but today the front page story was about a police woman being attacked by a guy with an axe, who left her with a broken leg, a fractured skull, and missing one of her fingers!
The story said she and a male colleague were sent to a domestic incident in Sheffield and the male officer was punched & knocked out when they arrived, before the attacker pulled out an axe and started 'chopping bits off her'. Luckily someone managed to drag her away to safety before back up arrived and the man with the axe was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.


Also in the Metro a few days ago was a story about Liam Fee, a toddler who suffered 2 years of torture before being killed by his own mother, who then accused 2 other young boys of being the ones who had killed him!

That was on the front page and a few pages after that I read what at first I assumed to be the rest of that story, but in fact turned out to be a different story about a toddler called Ayeeshia Jane Smith, who was stamped to death by her own mother after doctors and social services failed to spot months of abuse. The attack on Ayeeshia, who was a 'happy and smiley' toddler, was reported as being so violent that it resulted in injuries similar to those from a car crash or being thrown from a tall building. Ayeeshias mother Kathryn Smith was said to be a cannabis addict but judging by the picture of her she looks more like a hardcore crystal meth and/or heroin addict!

 The 2 stories about the murdered toddlers were disturbing enough, especially being published in the same copy of the Metro, but then only a couple of days later, reading todays front page story about someone trying to chop up a police woman with an axe....I don't even know what to say. Just seriously WTF is wrong with the world?!?! Why are people so sick and twisted?
It's one thing to read about someone killing or almost killing someone when they have a reason for doing so (or at least think they have a reason), but attacking a complete stranger with an axe for no apparent reason, or even worse...murdering your own, completely innocent young child....I can't understand why people do these things. Why would someone bring a child into the world and then just kill it when it's only a couple of years old!?!
I think it's safe to say that's something I will NEVER be able to understand...


Thank's for reading and please share this and leave a comment below, either your thoughts on what you've just read or any requests for future blog posts...or both! =)
Oh and sorry todays post is so depressing, I'll try to come up with something more cheerful to write about tomorrow!

Now Back Bigger And Better

It's now been 6 months since the last post on Readers Requests Blog and even before that the posts were far from regular... I think it would be very easy for people to forget this blog even exists!  So after recently thinking to myself that I might as well just accept this blog as a failure and give up on it completely, I realized I didn't want that to be the case and decided instead to make an effort to  make this blog into something people actually want to read.
 So as of today I will be adding new posts on a regular basis and planning future posts in advance and including a note at the end of posts about what's coming up in future posts.
It's been so long since anything was posted that no one has submitted any new requests, so it won't be just requested posts like it used to be, but requests are still welcome =)

 During the next few weeks a lot of posts will be mobile phone related stuff, like mobile network comparisons and recommendations,  mobile app development, and top mobile apps and games etc.  Feel free to leave a comment if there's anything like that you want to be included in a post.



 
  Also, I will be starting some regular features, such  as:

*Daily Discussion- A short daily post on latest topics in the news etc.  As the title says, I'm hoping for people to leave comments on these posts to share their opinions and make it into a discussion.

 

*Online Offers & Freebies- Which  I did actually say I was going to start doing a long time ago but it never really happened so I'm going to start doing it now )






*Real Reviews- Exactly what the title says. There's a ridiculous amount of fake reviews on the internet these days and it can be hard to know which ones to trust, so each month I'll probably be adding 1 or 2 new reviews. Leave a comment if you have a request for something you want to be reviewed. When it's something that I would need to buy to be able to write the review, then if its something I can afford to buy I will, but if not I'll try to find someone else who does have whatever it is and ask them to write a review.



There may also be some other regular features added later but I don't want to end up trying to add too much at once so it's just going to be those three to start with. As always, feel free to leave a comment saying what you think of  those ideas and any requests for some other kind of regular feature.

I think that's enough for this post since it's not really about anything, but a more interesting post will follow soon since there will be new posts added every day from now on =)
