New Orleans looters are only stealing whats necessary to survive...

[The Monkey Man]

The people looting and attacking are gangs mostly, or are folks that are just scared and panicky...

The Gang phenomina is a counter culture, it started as a way for people who gave
up trying to live within what most consider a regular cultural way of life...
Alot don't work, they live off the government, and they choose poverty
because it is familiar and they can share that familiarity with others...

Why do think gang members and thugs target the young kids who go to school and
try to make something of themselves, they profit by converting success into failure
beefing up their numbers

Now it is almost an anti-standard way of life...

I personally don't like it, for the simple reason that I think it is a lifestyle that is borne of failure.
Failure to achieve the orthodox american normal.

And in failure, it usurps the clean hardworking population
and the youth who have dreams which should be nurtured into reality

If a young black kid from little rock,
or a young arab kid from dearborn, or a young mexican kid from the barrio,
want to become astronauts, they should not get their ass kicked by lowlifes everyday, for wanting to improve themselves

That sucks, and it is counter productive to our nation...
think of all the teachers, parents, workers who pay taxes, and politicians
who all are trying to get that kid an education...

And it is being made near impossible by a bunch of corupt slime -

if that happened here, the first place i'd go is 'Army Surplus' n get sum guns n ammo n sum bulletproof vests fo me n my family, cuz u kno everyone els would be thinkin the same damm thing n you'd end up gettin shot walkin down tha street just tryin 2 get food if you didnt, i'm suprised there's still cops there with everyone stealing guns n shit, i heard they even had cops trapped on the roof cought up in a big shoot out, i'd definitaly get sum armor and protection... sumthing automitic... not like i'd go on a killing spree but u kno... you have 2 keep yo family safe n shit

You'd see me floating on a raft of about 100 protein canisters. Don't you guys lie, if you saw a busted out GNC window you'd give it a thought.

PAYBACK TIME, YOU OVERPRICED JERKS!!!

my sig tells me to dislike them! im glad we beat their arrogant asses in the olympic bid! oh and you new york

 

[Nick+]

Good luck with the Olympics. There's lots of of small traders and businesses in London who are going to have their premises destroyed (and maybe their businesses too) because of it.

good theyre only going to be ethnics anyway since its the east of london!

London Olympics 2012: corporate greed and privatisation
(not about small businesses particularly)

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2005/aug2005/olym-a02.shtml

(I'm not a socialist, but this is a different view on the Olympics, and maybe worth seeing)

 

[buildingup]

isnt it all about corporate greed no matter which country holds the olympics?
This shitty end of london needs to be regenerated anyway!

 

[Eggs]

I think the Olympics is a great way for a country to revitalize a certain city, and then earn that money back when the Olympics comes and they get all the funds from that. London is going to have to bust their ass to keep any more terrorist actions from happening though, because thats one definite way to ruin it.

btw Nick, if you're not a Socialist... are you a communist?

 

[min0 lee]

I am glad we didn't get the Olympics, besides who really watches that crap?

 

[Eggs]

Not me!

Well, I might tune in for a few minutes here and there... I enjoy the gymnastics, that stuff is pretty crazy.

 

[min0 lee]

I tried watching but.....

yeh our country is definately going to see more terrorist bombings and we're used to it anyway! bloody blair being too lenient with muslims in our country when they should be closing down radical mosques and should be shooting radical imams!

 

[Eggs]

I agree BU, you guys have let some whack ass clerics and stuff into your country. You need to knock that shit off already and send them back to the Middle East. Preferably with a plane that only has fuel to make it half way down

So many countries are lenient on certain groups because they want their vote or they just dont want to bother. It comes back to bite you alot of times. Kinda like Timothy McVeigh and his group.

What blair has done is to send back radical clerics to their homeland and make their homeland govt promise not to prosecute them which is bloody ridiculous! first i'd cut off their testicles and feed it to their bearded wives then send then back to their homeland after their govts have promised to torture them!
