Children and the culture of pornography: 'Boys will ask you every day until you say yes' - Telegraph

All this in late January. What the hell is going on in your country?

We have mentally ill guys running around causing massacres once a month, but amidst Piers Morgan's righteous moralizing over the evils of guns and the wave of enlightened liberalism in the UK, I'd have thought you guys had it all under control.

Is it really just all the immigrants? Is it the media hyping these cases? It makes the UK look like a bunch of barbarians.

Someone from the UK talk to me. How bad is it, bro?
 


Depends... if you go off what you read in the Telegraph or Daily Mail, it's like the gates of Hell have broken open and are spewing forth into our formerly green and pleasant land.

However, if you go off what life is actually like.... it's fine. The reason that shit gets into the news is because it's very rare here. The two sword stories are the same incident, btw.

The porn thing is actually the story of most concern to me as a parent, and I know that's not UK-specific ;) If it's still an issue in a few years' time, it hugely increases the likelihood I'll send my to offspring to single-sex secondary schools.

Anyhow, if you want to be really shocked, don't look at the right wing press. Check out our statistics for accidental shootings, domestic shootings, and suicide-by-firearms last year. :uhoh2:

It's a fucking disaster. I was born and bred in London and I went to supposedly the best performing school in our borough, yet I've lost count of the number of violent shit I've seen or been subject to.

When you have a society with no understanding or respect for family, heritage, history, culture, nature, you get this degenerate state of affairs.

What's happening in Europe, just like America, is that a culture of respect, and selflessness is being eroded by a worthless, self entitled generation with giant fucking egos and nothing to offer. The family unit in the UK is weak, most of these people have no warm family environment to go back to, don't have jobs, get paid handouts by the government and live in gloomy shit holes.

Those who are victim to a weak family and no sense of purpose or identity become brain dead, savage consumerist whores, the same ones you saw in the uk lootings a couple of years back smashing high street stores to steal consumer goods.

Edit: I'm pretty sure the leafy pleasant suburbs of quieter towns and cities are nicer :) But don't worry the cancer will spread there too

When I was in London in December I was attacked by a homeless, white granny after I refused to pay for a paper flower she gave me as a gift for Christmas just seconds ago.

I will never forget her foul breath and I still have bruises from the body check she gave me.

Fuck the UK. Horrible, violent place.

rofl, you really got beat up by a homeless woman?
 
Lots of parts of London are shitty, fortunately where I live isn't bad although it has its moments. I've seen some stuff in my time but I went to a rough school and have been no saint in the past. The articles you mention are fairly typical of many major cities and as the article about the stabbing mentions, it's the first murder of a teenager in London this year. I bet many more have been murdered in other cities around the world.

It was probably a roma gypsie, they are more common in mainland Europe than here.

If you ever see an old scruffy woman trying to give out heather/flowers/other crap in Europe, ignore them or they won't leave you alone.

Almost certainly a Roma Gypsy as the person said above. The general thing is that they try and get you to buy a flower, to shut them up you do, so then they nab any money out of your wallet. Totally ignore them, if they start getting close to pickpocketing range, tell them to fuck off (in those words, with strong direct eye contact). Pickpocketing range, a shove should get rid of them.

Although, that's if you just want to get rid of them. If you want to have a little fun, I take great pleasure in yelling "THIEF".

Watch out for the gypsy children as well. They'll rob you blind.
 
I'm sure SOME of this stuff happened in history a long time ago.. But not this much*. Remember when people actually left their doors at home unlocked at night?

I think the problem is the media, the TV, etc. I mean what do you expect when the media promote fear and craziness.. And pushes crime in the news non-stop, it makes this kind of stuff seem "normal".. People with mental problems will assume if everyone is doing this, why aren't I? Not to mention crime shows, horror movies, etc just give people ideas and glamorize the idea..

For some of these people who live lives of nothingness, they now have the media who's willing to make them famous for committing crimes.. They become known nation wide for horrible acts of violence and the media just consumes it up.

So at the end of the day... I think the media, our news, etc needs to stop promoting these crimes and start putting positive people in the news.

We have mentally ill guys running around causing massacres once a month, but amidst Piers Morgan's righteous moralizing over the evils of guns and the wave of enlightened liberalism in the UK, I'd have thought you guys had it all under control.

Are you really that narrow minded?

There are equally grotesque and barbaric crimes going on in the US, and all over the world. Wasn't there a guy eating another guys face not long ago in the US?

The world is full of disgusting, crazy people, it's not country specific.

Some people that lock their doors now weren't doing so during times where crime rates were actually higher. The US population has grown by 100 million since just the 1970s, so there is a lot more potential for individual stories. Combine that with 24 hour cable news, chain emails, and everything else, and people start to think they are in more danger than ever before.

I just shave my head and wonder around in army boots and a brown shirt. They never bother me. It seems to give them bad memories for some reason.

LOL.
The US and the UK are just as shit as each other. Did you check out the worst of your headlines this January?

Weak point, but I can't blame you for trying. We hate Piers Morgan, too.
