@Miss_Mouse You forgot ebola.
I totally get what you mean though - everything seems to be falling to shit at the moment. The thing to bare in mind is that there is always some turmoil or potential threat from X or Y but generally, we live in pretty peaceful and stable times.
The news is basically whipping people in to a frenzy and it is a bit scary what with all the London yoofs going over there and murdering strangers but its a small number of particularly pissed-off young, pretty much exclusively males. Its an old formula.
What is getting me down, though, is hearing quite openly xenophobic comments from a lot of people. We need some unity and shit.
Tl;dr: don't get too down about it.
