How old is old as far as you are concerned?
I think you will find that Wisdom comes with experience which is hard to gain when you are still young and convinced you know everthing

And no and as i have said before apart from a MTB site and this one i dont subscribe to nothing, as for experience i have plenty of life experience and as you dont know me you will never know and my age well you dont know that either do you, Now so shut the fuck up mr/mrs fucking super experienced man/women of the world .

All you old twats should take note of the fact that the best statement in this whole thread came from one of the youngest members. Thats what you dont like but tuff shit your going to have to accept it.

the reason i dont struggle, as you put it kermit, is because i got off my arse and worked for everything i have
id luv to see some of these scumbags try to hijack my motor or break into my house

Yes you had that opurtunity and took it but you had the chance!!

as for your second statement i dont think anyone on this forum is super human that they can take on a 10+ group, all on top of you in one go, THE END to that matter.

Since you are another that thinks insults and personal attacks against others are the only way to get your point across
I must agree with whoever said
You really are a Bellend

Illegal wars in the middlle east,making profit for the military industrial complex.

Big Pharma,false infection scares,needless vaccinations making big profits for themselves,and trying to ensure that home remedies are illegal

Mps fleecing the taxpayer,via their illegal expense claims to make a profit

Newspapers illegally hacking and paying money to the police,to increase their circulation to make a profit

Police taking backhanders to make a profit,

bankers bonuses---- enough said

Financial institutions fecking up the economy to make profits

Big Business avoiding paying taxes,to make obscene profits

Looters in England taking things from shops to make a profit,

Sort of seems to me that the human society at the moment is seriously fecked up,and they still have the nerve to ban the herb,make the it legal and i wonder if society may just change for the better.

Yup, or in short neoliberalism. It has bankrupted us both morally and financially.

When all we worship is self, money and bling, this is where we end.

Proves my point about lefties, whenever there's trouble brewing, they're always in for a piece of the action

saw the story about the teaching assistant... he earned £1k a month and lived in central London. That's tough as it is considering a studio flat will set you back £600 a month minimum. +electric, gas, phone,travel,and food my guess he's left with fuck all. actually more likely he's in mountains of debt

Can't quite make up my mind on what that actually means for the bigger picture but either way interesting.

C'mon fella. You are smarter than that, ,... Over 1 500 arrests so far..... These are the few the papers run with..... Really?

For the record, shit like this does not happen on this scale in the US (yes, we had our riots, but not so focused on stealing). The first day about a dozen of the rioters would have been shot in the head by a few armed shop-owners. Viva the 2nd Amendment.

Philly may have some extra gun control laws. Also, the nature of the flashmob is that its sudden and never happens in the same place twice. During these UK riots it seemed by the second night, the shop-keeprs had an idea it was coming?

I still stand by that this widespread looting is rare nowdays. Part of the reason is that many, many Americans own guns. I am not saying this for good or bad, its simply a fact. People tend to fuck with total strangers less in the US because you simply never know who may own a gun. I am not talking about drug violence, but the random targeting of shop-keepers. I could be wrong.

Whats your actual point here ? I was using them as an example , all walks of life were involved and not jus the so called underclass , the few the paper run with ? Eh he was the first person charged/sentenced so of course they're gonna "run with it"


In my POV I totally see and understand what some people are saying about the way Britain is run we DO live in a society of feed the rich fuck the poor ! Unless you went to the right school etc you have no chance to reach the top (old boys network) but it's a cop out to use these circumstances as an excuse to tear up the country !!! Ok the first night of rioting was in reaction to the shooting , I have no problem with that , but are you trying to tell me that the copy cats in Birmingham , Manchester give a fuck ? Plainly and simple they were motivated by greed , this consumerist , capitalist society is to blame !! Now if it was an actual revolution then I personally would be on the front lines , the rioters started losing legitimise as soon as the looting started and basically turned most of the country against them !! Attack the state , Government , Police not the common man who struggles to get along , as for big stores "oh it's ok they're a faceless corporation" it's not them that suffers it's the common worker probably the mothers and fathers brothers and sisters of the perpetrators who suffer (laid off until place re-opens if it does)

What about the LA riots ? I seem to remember seeing plenty looting during that

I noticed Kermit never did announce his age,so i found from here - https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewt ... e&start=30 that he was 32 on July 10,2008...so that makes him 35 now...thats fuckin' ancient to a 16 year old m8

it was just matter of time before reasons for the riots were trying to be found,
ive no idea about any other town or city in the uk, but croydons reasons as clear as it was monday,
load of kids on summer holidays, gangs started texting saying 'c what happened in wood green last nite, my mans got away with bear free shit, lets do it in croydon' kids without gang connections got swept up in the excitement, so while the kids were told to meet &kick off in town centre the older clever hoods, were driving to industrial estates from neighbouring boroughs to rob best buy, comets, pc world, currys, it was all pre planned,
&the guy that got clipped in croydon, serves him right, he was just another plastic gangster who drove in from brixton to rob, got their to late so started robbing other looters, but media are painting him as an angel with 4kids

+lets not forget, not every1's been upset by the riots,


edit:just thought id add, i was in green lanes N4, yestrday, not a single shop front smashed in, fair play to the turks
