Paranoid? Not at all on this issue. But being paranoid in general has saved my ass more than once.

Fine. Not my style though. I have a well earned reputation for being indifferent when everyone else is pulling out their hair. Don't see why I should change.

I never said you should change - but don't act like we are somehow being unreasonable here.

Why do America and Europe allow millions of immigrants to enter their countries who hate their culture and shun their values? This is why Asia will soon pass the West as the dominate region. If the same thing happened in China they would gun them down and sell their organs on Ebay!

The riots have spread to Birmingham today and tonight, I hope that's as far as it spreads but I doubt it, got a feeling more cities will see similar scenes in the coming days

Now IF the reason for the riots in London was the shooting of the criminal,what is the reason given for the rioting in Birmingham?

There's no reason, its just blatant criminal behaviour, but in these situations it can spread like wildfire (excuse the pun), and supposedly ''good'' and ''normal'' people will get involved, pack mentality, obviously most people won't, but you will be surprised at the people taking part in some of these riots

If you give a damn about it (the riot in Britain), that's pretty darn unreasonable.

For someone totally uninterested in the topic you seem unable to stop posting...

By the way,this might be of interest to British posters...
