    So you believe money is the answer to everything? Money has been given to countries in african for decades but look where they are now again. that is an example that money alone is not the answer to everything

    That's right, and that bible you are referring to has never caused any trouble has it?

    Please go away now!

    That's why what been going on for the past few nights in the UK won't happen over here.

    The Gardai just don't tolerate any nonsense. Rack heads and sort it out afterwards. It works.

    I read it once but the ending was really predictable. 3/10


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Just heard these figures on the radio, to date...

    685 Arrests
    111 charged

    Late night court sessions are also being carried out.

    Lets just hope now that harsh sentences are being given out rather than small fines and a slap on the wrist.

    Edit

    Figures apply to london only

    See the copper on BBC

    " 9,10 and 11 year olds ... Hooligans and Thugs "

    I didn't think kids that age could be "hooligans and thugs". No wonder this is happening what a wankbag...!!!:mad:

    I didn't think they could be either but the pictures and reports proved me wrong.

    thats a good post. how do you go about tackling inequality though? plus it doesnt explain why every disadvantaged person isnt out rioting. its only a small percentage of people thats causing trouble. if you have 1000 people rioting and maybe 10,000 not causing any trouble and they all come from the one type of background - whats the difference? whats causing the 1000 to act like thugs

    Of course not every disadvantaged person is out rioting but a huge amount of them are, the differences are subtle - things like parental control/environment/peers/employment/previous encounters with authority, various other things, I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers and tackling inequality is a massive challenge but Britain has been riddled with problems since Thatcher's era. The only high profile attempt to stem the tide was ASBOs but these made criminals out of kids (without a real chance of making up for their crimes, I'd personally be more in favour of some form of restorative justice) and have become a badge of honour for teens who want to look hard because of their own insecurities.

    For a start the entire second level education system needs an overhaul, a simple example of one of the cuts was teachers used to get paid a small bit more to teach kids sports after school, you have to give young people the opportunity to feel part of something and for some something simple like a sports team can make a massive difference, plus why aren't they in education until at least 18? It may seem like something small but can have a huge impact. Another issue is Britain's rate of teenage pregnancy, condom's should be given out to kid's from about age 12, there's too many kids having kids basically. I'm no social expert, and don't have the answers, but if you just punish behaviour without looking deeper at the causes you get nowhere, look at the reaction to football hooliganism, it led to all football fans being dealt with by contempt by the authorities and it took a massive disaster for a change in the policy of policing football matches.

    I didn't agree with her 'no father' opinion but, in general, she made some salient points. They weren't PC though, so I can see why some would have a problem with them.

    So much **** wrong with this is actually baffles me that you are able to type without drooling all over your keyboard.

    Do the world a favour...become a lurker.

    I agree with your point, but your hamfisted effort to make it makes me want to disagree on principle.
