i am posting this topic based on a news that appeared in today's local news paper ... A man killed and buried his parents for not loving his child and kept it secret for 25 days; later he felt guilty of his deed and revealed it to his elder brother and was arrested.
This incidence shows that now patience as well as love and respect to elders have completely disappeared from this world ( there may be exceptions). Unhealthy incidence can occur in each and every ones life as that is the nature of human life; only patience and affection can overcome these circumstances I long for a world where love and affection along with patience persists forever.

Value of human life today ..........NIL

it is happening all the time here in the US. I read something back before Christmas about a man that killed his step son because he took a bite of his cheesecake. I mean sorry but something is so wrong with this world. People beat up a pregnant lady at a graduation on long island NY last month it was all over you tube yet no one got arrested even after they kicked the lady in her belly. My cousin in Raleigh was murdered about 12 years ago for the $5 he had in his pocket the man was arrested almost 7 months later after he robbed a bank and killed a police man yet no one found him just because he killed my cousin. Makes you wonder some days, really does. I heard today a new law starts here in the US next year. Liquor and beer will no longer be sold to anyone under the age of 31. I mean what in the heck? We are adults at the age of 21 and I guess until we are 31 we can't handle our own liquor. This world is getting worse by the day.

I can verify that is not true.

Just for fun I tried looking that up and came across a parody news site.

There is a *lot* of fake news sites on the internet, so much so that lawmakers have recently tried to pass a bill that would ban them. of course, that bill in turn received some retaliation due to to the whole suppressing free speech issue. etc.

Its very common in India in many states if a girl child is born parents kill the child ,a girl child is considered a burden even today.

Now this has changed and girls are getting equal opportunities as boys thanks to governments in taking initiatives to protect girl child
