As to your reply to GrannyClaret regarding being nice to people. Treating people as you would like them to treat you is a very good maxim to follow. Many of the teachings in the Christian faith are worthwhile even if you don't believe in any kind of God or the hereafter. If all your, so called, mates (they don't really sound like mates from your description) treated other people the way they themselves would like to be treated, you may find them to be more to your liking. They may also gain some self-respect which, if your description of them is accurate, they seem to be sadly lacking at the moment. However, if as is suggested by the tone of your postings, you wish to be a strong and independant person, don't bow to the peer pressure, do what you consider to be the right thing in your heart and start a new fashion. We need a lot of people to do that in order to put this, rapidly festering, world to rights.

How we choose to live and treat others is determined by the society we live in. If everyone followed the New Testement to the letter then we would make no social intergration have no tolerence and have the equivelent of the crusades again (not just Iraq).
