Chairman Bill, from ratskep, lives down the road from me. I wonder if he'll be up for a spot of looting in North Devon?

He stated that all racists should be shot, and than later called me a racist.
As racists go, I like to think that I am fairly enlightened.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I don't consider his comments to be personal attacks per se. In any case, Nineberry seems to have suspended himself. :dunno:

Yeh, it's on the BBC news now. Groups of 20-30 yoofs attacking the Bull Ring.

They're gathering outside the Mailbox, and the Hippodrome has locked down.

No. You're an atheist. Praying's not for the likes of you! :mod:

In terms of priorities personal safety and security, the right of ordinary people to go about their lives unmolested and safety is topmost as far as I am concerned. The police need to be allowed to do what must be done to restore that.

However..the kids who are doing this know how bleak their futures really are. The graph goes downwards from here on in, at least for a while. This may not be planned, may not be intellectualised, but basically they are in a position where they have nothing to lose and they don't give a fuck.

The issues are serious and complex. They aren't about the usual polarised, petrified and frankly increasingly tedious positions the far left and far right nit pick over here.

This isn't a race riot. Plenty of white *gasp* and asian kids have been looting as well. If anything these riots are a great example of racial harmony amongst my generation. :coffee:

:this:

Don't expect people to listen though. Knee-jerk reactions are much simpler than tackling the underlying causes of systemic rioting. No, let's just put it down to the inferiority of "the other" and let the police crack down on it. That'll sort everything out.

Time for plastic bullets, I think. Dickheads in Birmingham have looted, or tried to loot, a children's hospital. Fucking scum
