Rioting in the UK over a Police Shooting?

[Franko]

Dunno what all the fuss is about... :rolleyes:

In the UK during anyones lifetime you will live through AT LEAST two major riots, it's nothing new and has been happening the world over since the dawn of Civilisation and the concept we call Society...

Whatever the "reasons" for it (if there really are any) it quite simply doesn't matter one little bit. There should be plenty here old enough to know that this is nothing new and is nothing more than the current generation of youth following on in a tradition of Rioting that is as old as mankind itself...

The looting is nothing new either, it's just youth thinking they are sticking one to the system but don't yet have the life experience or wisdom that comes with age to understand yet that the only damage they have done is to themselves and the society in which they live...

The only thing that surprises me here is folk being "shocked" & "appalled" by this latest storm in a teacup. If you are "shocked & appalled" then your either too young too have experienced what I have said above or you're so old and senile that Alzheimer's has set in and you've forgotten that this is just part of life, always has been and always will be...

There nothing more strange than this concept we call life, always expect the unexpected and never be surprised at just what crazy actions the human race is capable of. If you look through history it's nothing new, the time & date may change but the actions of people always remains consistently the same...

...and when we find that we are no longer shocked or appalled we find a stillness inside, it's called apathy and it's a big part of the problem too.

Not true... like I said there is nothing new or surprising in recent events, it's just part of human nature and therefore if that is a "problem" then the best solution for it is, quite simply get rid of all the humans and leave the planet to the more intelligent creatures like Loins, Monkeys, Fish, Birds & squirrels...

"Apathy" is people who post comments on such things but then go about their daily business doing nothing about the things they comment on, somehow in the belief that such comments will change the world. That's real "Apathy" and unfortunately that applies to most folk on this planet...
