    Just to make it clear: Trickster is according to (west-)european standards a right wing fag. Compared to the US where probably the leftest person in the goverment is still further to the right then him.

    Use the rioters' welfare checks to pay for damages. I heard welfare is as much as an entry-level job in the UK.

    1) The teeth thing was a fun jab at an old joke
    2) The idea of my taxes paying for public health just.. irks me.
    3) CCTV cams... I almost never do anything wrong publicly but, the idea of someone watching me to "MAKE SURE" I do nothing wrong makes me feel indignant.
    4) It literally takes years to get something through English parliament. While I will agree ours(USA) isn't a great thing either, I think that it is slightly better.

    6) In USA we are also taught to be ashamed of our past misdeeds and indeed I do feel that way. Slavery was wrong, tricking and killing Indians because they are "savages" was wrong. Using the nuke on japan was completely wrong sure it stopped the war... but, at the cost of innocent lives instead of soldiers who willingly die. What eva...

    Its the internets nothing is ever right here... only varying degrees of wrongness.

    At least (to my knowledge) brits are no longer champions in cricket, so its not all that gay.
    Also, no, USA's system is shit. Noone besides two major party members have any real say in things. How is that for a country that says that its a pioneer in modern democracy?

    I hardly make a secret of it to be entirely honest.

    and Viroman:

    You pay medical insurance, or you pay it through taxes. What's the difference? The difference is, that with one of them, some have it, and with others, all have it. And regarding CCTV, do you think they put it up for people who don't cause problems? It's not there to keep an eye on people who do nothing wrong and remind them they're being watched, it's there to catch people committing serious crimes. And that it does, frequently.

    Also Wallmart, you're pretty much right, except the fact that it's often more than an entry-level job if you have a couple of kids. It's shit. The problem is, whoever fixes it, loses the votes.

    Northern Ireland, not Ireland.

    Rioters are pussys as can be seen from pretty much any video of them. If people start getting hit with rubber bullets they will think twice about fucking about, yes it antagonises them but with these type of people they are so cowardly that I would be surprised if it made them fight back.

    There is no motive other than chaos. People who live here, whether they were born or immigrant have some feeling of false entitlement thanks to decades of socialist PC bullshit. They are comfortable torching their neigbours jobs, cars, houses because they are scum of the earth. There is no politics here, no statements of class, race or anything else. We have just fostered these fools and mostly it is the educational institutions to blame over a very long time. Believe me I have worked in it, the system has been broken since forever. You can blame the individuals sure, they deserve it, but they are products of their environment.

    Ship them all out, whether they were born here or not they don't deserve our democracy. Nothing excuses this level of social disregard. I just hope it isn't manipulted by the edl et al into an immigration issue.

    Edit: Its not actually that bad, if they go near the city and the water cannons finally come out and we allow the police to police most of these asshole will go away. They are only fighting for a free TV.

    Actually the general problem is that when you start shooting rubber bullets at people the very next thing that happens is you shoot a few bystanders and then trample them under the shield wall and then beat them into a bloody pulp with your truncheon and then it gets on the news and people end up more pissed off with the police.

    It wouldn't actually be a problem if the police could just shoot the people doing the rioting, but somehow they never quite manage to do that.

    I would have agreed on that point except for the G20 riots in Canada. Like holy shit they hadn't even agreed on anything or said one word and people were going apeshit. And then like a month later harmonized sales tax came in but no one flipped buses over that.

    Do you even know WHY they started the riots complete?

    A guy which was a known drug dealer and criminal shoot a cop during the resist of an arrest which resulted in that the cops fired back and killed him.

    I can understand if people riot against the goverment if they dont like them and torch a goverment building or such things.
    But that is NEVER a reason to go out looting your neighbours and burn down their property.

    are you seriously alluding to the g20 protests in TORONTO? the one where riot police pulled over 1000 random people off the street and placed them into these makeshift cells:
    [​IMG]
    for hours in blistering heat then released almost all of them spare a few people

    the g20 where the cbc made a full length documentary about the civil rights abuses
    the g20 protest where police dragged a amputee across the ground and told him to hop
    LOOK AT THIS CRAZY RIOTING

    that is your best example?

    people riot because they're miserable. student loans, welfare cuts, i dont know what because i dont pay attention to boring england news


    edit: would like to point out that the cbc documentary is a very good watch

    Oh i see, so THATS why they go around looting everything, burning down their neighbours houses and cars and fucking shit up....
    They got a problem with the goverment and to show that they fuck over the other "miserable" people around them.
    Makes perfect sense.

    This whole thing is all bullshit.
    There is minimal "anti-goverment" stuff but tons of looting.

    What a fucking joke. If one person walks down the street looting, firebombing buildings and throwing bricks at cops they get arrested, at the very least. If a couple thousand people do it the riot police run the fuck away because they aren't allowed to do anything else.
    People riot because its a whole load of fun and nothing is going to happen to 99% of them. The socioeconomic cause is that no one is stopping them and their political agenda is free TV's.
    Police pulled rioters off the streets and stuck them in time out, before just letting them all go later. [TROLLING] But it was hot and the floor was uncomfortable, therefore it was torture and the government is fascist. [/TROLLING]

    There isn't anything else you can do unless you want to start the tiananmen square historical re-enactment society.

    1) It's this thig that you guys use after you finish your Mcdonalds
    2) Public health care is one of the greatest accomplishments of modern democracy. But America has neither, so I guess you wouldn't know.
    3) CC TV cameras owned by the government? Not all of them.
    4) I don't even understand what you're saying here.
    5) Ofc, watching your "football" is simply spectacularly entertaining. Just like baseball.
    6) The British Empire ended in 95, didn't you get the memo? Also, look up their most recent war. They won in 81 days. When was the last time America won a war? Never. (p.s one successful rebellion doesn't count as winning as you weren't yet a country)
    7) In case you didn't know, there are pissed off retards all over the globe. You can't just judge people on what their scum of the earth are like.

    Everything cleared up yet?

    EDIT: Fuck, it was already done. I was just too full of nerd rage to finish reading the thread without replying.
