Riots in the UK?

[Sam]

Then you and you're friends are part of the problem, not the solution. Your narrowminded attempts to prove how civilised you can be only allows yourselves to be used as tools and door mats for anybody who decides to push you around, because you aren't going to do anything to defend yourselves and you rely on the power of remote government and police to protect yourself.. and if they decide not to help you, then you're fucked.

You seem to confuse a desire for peaceful protest over a political issue with some kind of cowardice.

In all honesty, it seems to me that this is because you have some long ingrained impression of your self as some kind of activist and quasi-revoloutionary. The fact is, that the government has every right to propose changes to higher education funding, in turn, the students have evry right to protests against them. When a few self-centered morons start to fancy themselves as rioters the whole issue becomes a joke.

There are different situations which demand different attitudes Cerrone, if the government were proposing removing some of our human rights I'd probably take a more aggresive stance but they're not. Your supporting the actions of a few because they acted in accordance with your outmoded views.

Why you little worm you.. lolz

Resorting to childish little jabs already?

To be honest though, students and younger generations are a slightly different case when it comes to the media- it's not simply that they believe something when it's pushed on them, quite the opposite sometimes, they're young impressionable people who want to have a world view, but the only place they go to "research the facts" are from facets of the media, so the eventually fall for the same bullshit that other people do. My advice would be, as always, gain some perspective about what you're talking about before asserting your right to an opinion.

What? So now even those of us who do validate our opinions based on reports from various sources are 'falling for the same bullshit'?

Why don't you try and justify your opinion before claiming I don't have any perspective for mine.

Cheers
