This isn't bored kids this is a problem of poverty and alienation. An entire community are treated like criminals and there is no accountability on the police force. No trust, no justice, you get unrest.
- So they prove the police correct... Clever.set
- the police prove them correct as well... its a problemDodecahedron

so let's go trashing innocent people's property. Innocent shopkeepers who's livelihood depends on their merchandise. Families who have nothing to do with it.
Real productive.
- and who is giving them an support or guidence? its not the rest of the public or police. they are lost, you get unrest.Dodecahedron

Poverty is no excuse - I came from a very poor family and made man of myself, went to uni and got an education - poverty is an excuse to better yourself. it's motivation.
The problem is, there's no morel compass to look at anymore. we had religion, but that's gone. Now people go to apple stores to worship.
It's a messed up world we live in.

- Dude, equating lack of belief in god to no moral compass is bullshit. I don't believe - doesn't mean I don't abide by a moral code.Melanie

- Moral code can only get tested under hard conditions. We all "have morals" in a comfortable society.Beeswax
- only the ones who REALLY believe in God hold themselves from stealing while starving coz they believe there'll be a judgement.Beeswax

The direct cause of the Egyptian riots was poverty
How come it's valid in Arab world but not in the West?
- because they were not immigrants?JSK

Are the poor in the world's richest countries just dumb and or lazy?
Not talking about immigrants who come here for a better life and struggle, i'm talking about 15 generations of white trash and black trash that see no value in education or working hard in life, since they all figure they'll live the dream and make it big someday like scarface promised or hip hop promised, but when shit hits the fan and reality sets in, they riot and blame everyone else for their problems, blame society for being unemployed and addicted to meth, when in the end they chose that "gangsta" or "redneck" or whatever lifestyle.Granted there is genuine oppression in most countries of the world, where you have true poverty and no means of getting ahead, but in places like the US or the UK are there any excuses?

^ true.
Perhaps the other 99% good citizens of London ought to come out of their houses and all line the streets of london. face this 1% of idiots.

Oh... I get it. I see why they are doing the riots... The kiddies want their sweeties:
It's time they brought the Army in! I'm voting communist.
- They smashed all the Post Offices in Hackney. Where they have to pick up their Giro on Monday. Oops, retardsrosskemp

Only shop in croydon not to be looted was waterstone's - that pretty much sums it up.
Or so twitter says
- but surely it'd be a prime target because books burn right? duh?honest
- that is using way too much logicflashbender
