Shootings and gangs: black community leaders speak up

[CannonFodder]

"Black Community Leaders" eh?

Which "Black Community" do they claim to speak for I wonder, or is that just a nice tabloid friendly label dreamed up by some PC bra burner?

So basically, you are saying that gun crime is the fault of blacks and it's about time they took responsibility for it.

But then we as a nation would become subservient to the first group of chavs who armed themselves with a bunch of £4 axes bought legally from B&Q.

Would you use your handgun to shoot a chav with an axe that broke into your house?

Inanimate objects are morally neutral - to think otherwise is to embrace some primitive animistic notion that belongs to apes and monkey-men.

Who/what are a monkey-men?

Those who believe that inanimate objects are not morally neutral.

And those who worship Bono, drive Volvos, fail to keep left (or right, in the States and continental Europe) unless overtaking, people who use their vehicle's fog lamps when no fog is present, and those who think Mike Moore is a really cool bloke who always speaks the truth.

I apologise if I've left anyone out - I'm sure I'll make up for it later.

Ever wonder why your life isn't as content as you'd like it to be?

As for street guns - I bet half the tribal/turf disputes are coming from aggresive rap music which turns already disillusioned fatherless teenagers into wannabe gangsters.

Rip up the ghettos and the 60s housing estates, crack down on drugs and start building dance/sports arenas.

As another personal thing - people under 18 should not be allowed the cigarette, the car or the mobile phone. One promotes dependance on a substance, one promotes laziness and machoism at too early an age and the third breeds a generation of little spies/bullies (not to mention the cancer risk from prolonged phonecalls on a microwave emitting device).

Too many times have we seen news of playground bullying with camera phones, text messages of hate etc. and such devices have no doubt lead to increased gang mentality.

The social security system needs reforming too, where are these kids getting 900 GBP for a .38?

The school rules should be ripped up too. If I was a teacher and some kid started mouthing off and acting 'da man' I'd kick his friggin' arse. These days though young kids can make accusations and the teachers are scared. We need bad-ass teachers who can also inspire kids with martial arts, engineering and money discipline.

It's the boys that are suffering in school these days. Girls are far outsripping boys academically and I believe this is caused by a system that doesn't take into account the way a male mind works. Too much emphasis on parrot-learning and not on creative thinking, adapting and physical management.

Another sensitive thing is the imbalance of ethnic groups. In Britain the asians stay together and the black people stay in their area. Too much immigration and isolationism leads to far-right fascism.

Welcome Mr Clarkson.  Do wipe your feet on the way out. ;-)
