Uh, no? Did I say the rioters aren't to blame? Assigning responsibility to an individual and recognizing the circumstances that contributed to their actions are not incompatible.

Nothing like relying on strawmen to counter a point no one actually believes. Excellent contribution from a sterling mind.

Yes, with the concentration camps during the Anglo-Boer war, the hunting of Tasmanian Aborigines, and the genocides across North America, they were most certainly liberal.

Oh Britain has been going soft for many years now. What is sad is that I see and hear people in this country who want to be more like Britain. Just watch what happens there and see where we will end up if we don't start changing some things around here. Screw PC...I'm OVER IT with PC. PC does more harm than good.

"

Portrayed as a family man who was loved by all seems quite contrary to news reports this morning of this guy being a gang leader. The NYT is our version of Pravda and Al Jazera all rolled into one.

Suggest anyone with a NYT subscription cancel it.

The Texas rangers slogan, "one riot, one ranger" might well be useful in merry old England where even the police were, until recently, not allowed to carry guns.
You know what is really sad? Is that many people will read this and not have a clue that they are being led by the nose what to believe and how to think. Reading comprehension doesn't just cover understanding the words on the page, it also means understanding what is written "between the lines".

LOL! The Daily Kos....LMAO! I can't even take those guys seriously. I have never seen a more rabid group of idiots who twist and turn and spin everything around to meet their agenda and call everyone to the right of them, (which includes most liberals and Dems because these people are "out there"), greedy, mean and dumb, out to destroy the world.

I always figured Reynolds Wrap must love them for all the tin foil hats worn over there.

Those who controlled the British government are just as evil as the Mongols who committed genocide against millions of people in the past. The difference is that they have a Victorian sheen to them that supposedly makes them more "civilized". Now the government, instead of just causing harm to others are also turning against their own citizens.

Another poster in this thread wondered what happened to Britain. Well what happened to Britain and what will happen eventually to the USA can be pinpointed to the sentiments expressed on the DailyKos message boards.

What I still can't figure out is why the White countries of the world continue to import these third world peoples.

I mean many of these people come from countries and areas where the people were living in the stone age if it wasn't for White technology.


What benefit do the White countries of the world have by bringing these people in besides cheap labor? The crime, birth rates, etc seem like it not be worth it.
