    If rioting ever happened in Ireland I think we'd all band together and protect our local pubs. The heart of our communities.

    Heard some young fellas in my (small) town saying earlier that they were gonna try and incite a riot by ram-raiding Supermacs in a Massey Ferguson..... they backed out though cos they all have to be up early in the morning to do silage! True story!

    It all ultimately boils down to two central issues- firstly, these people have ZERO respect for either the area or the people around them; and secondly, they have ZERO fear of the consequences of their actions.

    I would be so so ashamed if I knew anyone involved- but sadly, for the most part, they're all in this together so shame will never enter into the equation.

    It is so arrogrant of atheists, they think they know everything as fact. Scientists don't even know how many dimensions there are, there don't even know how many sub-atomic particles there are.

    Alot of this is just youths out for the laugh, I imagine quite a few have no Idea how it started and are just joining in for the chance to throw rocks at the police and loot shops.

    Why doesn't the same youth hooligan culture exist in other European cities

    it does. I think chav culture is confined to a strip of Europe encompassing here, uk, holland, Germany, and on into eastern Europe and Russia.. "Eurotrash" basically. Rave culture, bolstered by the gunz n fronting of the rap. Gotta be hip to the hop, daddi-o

    think they did the right thing trying to make it appear he fired at them; for even if he did the ball is still in his court.

    did they? either way the law is on the cop's side if there was a firearm in view and the officer making the shot thought they were acting to protect life...so why embellish the events? The shooting had a few witnesses apart from police too...busy summers evening in the city...truth will out.
    Trying to justify saying he fired first is underhand and ultimately counter productive as can be seen. Funny thing is that the cop who took the shot will face discipline but will ultimately win their case...lying about it, though might make things a bit harder to get off with...

    Police station in nottingham firebombed (bbc)

    Did anybody hear what part of Nottingham this police station is in? I'm automatically presuming it's either St Anns or The Meadows, which are two pretty rough areas of the city. Notorious for gun crime and disorder.

    Atheism is founded on the concept of not knowing? It's religious people who claim to know that a God exists. Atheists accept that they do not know.

    If you do your research, you'll find that they are.

    Creationalists believe that everything was created in 6 days and then a day of rest. So there were no actual dinosaurs, which we now all know to be true.

    Evolution is a fact even now accepted by the Catholic Church.

    If you have difficulty with this then you should just think of evolution as God's upgrade system!

    Well I am not getting in to religions and theology. When I was looking at the riots I remembered what the endtimes is saying is going to happen. It's not rocket science if your in touch with the truth.

    We've all converted from Catholicism to Sikhism or some other type of ism.

    Hearing through twitter that Asian youths have taken responsibility for defending Aston, beating up the rioters. Police have lost control

    I wasn't trying to explain it, I was just saying that these people just don't care. In fairness no one has a definitive reason for what's happening. There are theories alright, but I'd say most of the people rioting don't even know why they're doing it.

    Isn't that Agnosticism actually?

    I always thought Athiesm is more geared towards believing that a God does not and cannot exist.

    Richard Dawkins comes to mind.

    Why are you de-railing your own thread?


    How does a scientist not knowing how many dimensions or sub atomic particles there are prove that God exists?

    it's wrong alright, but if they felt it necaserry to lodge that bullet in the aftermath to attempt justify it and escape prosecution despite the fact the yoof was brandishing a gun.. I wonder why. hothead yoof with pistol got shot by authorities; end-of. Good message to put out there.
