You don't spontaneously smash shop windows in mate, you think about it first, you go and get something to do it with. They have reasons for being peeved but those reasons are not enough. There simply is no fathomable excuse for this. They don't live in the third world, these are not homeless people that are rioting. Their definition of oppressed and in poverty isn't good enough.
I meant they didn't just start rioting one day caused they felt like it, its something which built and built.
And fair enough if you don't agree with their reasons, sure they could be worse off but its never that simple is it.
Mate, I hear it all the time here..
The white man holds the black man down etc, etc.
Truth is the one's pulling the race card have criminal records and dropped out of school, white/black/yellow/green it will be tough getting a decent job if not downright impossible with those things working against you.
Stay in school, obey the law and the sky's the limit. FACT
Yeah i can't disagree with that but again its not always that simple.
For instance why did they drop out of school and get criminal records when a richer more affluent teenager doesn't? If (and its a big if) a young poor black man gets treated like a criminal even though he has comitted no crime isn'ty he more likely to then think "**** it" and act like one?
To be honest ive read some good stuff in the past regarding peoples psychological make ups, stuff like is a criminal unemployed because he's a criminal, or is he a criminal because he's unemployed and all the outside influences which can affect a person which aren't obvious to outsiders.
Its never as simple as people like to make out and it often frustrates me how people are quick to judge others from what they see and what they do without trying to understand the reasons why they do it.
And yeah that sounds like a bunch of hippy crap but i think this world would be a better place if we all tried to understand and learn what makes people how they are.
