Rioting scum causes and solutions

[Kev]

How long have you been married Bilbo?


How many kids?

and your point is?

Was wondering if all your comments on this issue are based from personal experience or from what you read and hear in the news?

Personal experience of what? Growing up in a dysfunctional family with no moral values, little education, no prospects for a better future, and bitterness and hostility towards sharing the cultural values of a society, that fails to provide the same benefits to me and my disenfranchised kind as it does the wealthier members of the population?

Or of being a married family man, with sons and daughters who have either grown up rebellious and disrespectful and took place in the riots, or else grew up healthy and respectufl, in a loving, generous and warm family enviroment and who are raised to have respect for the traditional values?

I'm just not quite sure which of those experiences you think I needed for my views to have validity?

The fact is people can be angry about the rioters and that's fine. But presenting national service, forced abortions and the universal withdrawal of wellfare for those not working is just a lot of nonsense that could never actually happen.

You want to stop people opting out of society and sharing society's values, then you need to close the gap of wealth distribution, which is one of the widest in the whole developed world. You need to raise kids that can read, write, are trained for the workplace, have stable homes, with supporting parents and who have things to be proud about. Self worth and hope for the future is essential in being a productive person.

Instilling these things goes deeper than just relying on the personal ability of indivudal parents. Individuals follow society, cultural norms and values are passed down from the top and filter through to the whole population.

The greed of the looters isn't confined to the working class, it's endemic at the very top. Mp's fiddling expenses, bankers bonuses, illegal hacking, the whole our society's morality, from top to bottom has been fucked up. It's universal and the system is broken, to soley blame individual rioters and looters is simply blinkered.

Today's youth are the crop society has sown. When a lot of them grow up rebellious, uncaring, with no respect for law and values, then just like in nature, it's the farmers fault. If somebody has a crop of terrible potato's then it's not the potato's fault but the conditions in which they were grown. If you want to only punish the product then you are a fool.
