I disagree that karma doesn't exist.
I recon life, at least for me, balances out. There is a lot of shit out there in my life, I got a raw deal in so many respects, but in others I'm blessed compared to others.

Those [oppersite of meek] people at school generally have had shit childhoods, have done or have close family doing time. Abuse, drugs and prostertition are stuff that I read about and they live. I wouldn't swap for anything with them.

They live with guilt for the things they have done, oh well, gutted, shouldn't have done it. I saw a bitch who ruined a job I had last year selling newspapers rather than managing a team of developers making serious wage.

It's those who do fuck all to change their situation that they don't like... Who will lose.

Your last sentence
suggests you believe in self-determinism which is practically the opposite of karmic theory. You're saying that if things are shit for you, you should change them - not merely sit back and wait for the rewards due to you (through the laws of some nebulous system of natural justice) because you have lived a 'virtuous' life.

Hmm, yah, my views are quite contradictory.
I think with effort _and_ being good (karma) comes reward... But in this life, not the next.

And that if you go around hurting people, you end up feeling shit about it or life comes back kick you in the arse either before or after the event.

Deffo what goes around comes around.

But would you agree that there's no basis for saying there's any "spiritual" force guiding it
Or that they'll "receive their punishment in the next life" or somesuch similar bollocks?

Nothing sprital, just that _that_ is how things work.
