Quite liked Boris' speech there, given he got destroyed earlier.

It all depends where you come from. It's pretty much seen as a necessity for teenagers to have mobile phones these days. "I'll get bullied if I have a shit phone" "There might be paedophiles around" "You need to be able to call me"... a lot of parents treat giving their kids a Blackberry the same as they would stocking the freezer... in fact, a lot would pay the BB bill before sorting out dinner... the kids will eat on the street anyway.

Yeah, they're not deprived on the scale of Somalia or something, but they are forced to mingle every single day with the rich and comfortable. They see billboards for "happiness" that they can't afford every time they leave their house. People wandering around with good jobs, nice clothes, fast cars... all the things that society says you need in order to be worthwhile as a human being... all things that they have absolutely no route to without committing crime... or debasing themselves.

It's not about famine, it's about disenfranchisement. The rioters in LA in 1992 weren't starving either... they were violently angry with a system that systematically kicked them down... kept them alive but unhappy and spat upon by the "good people".

I notice that everyone's being very careful about using the word Chav... this is a very sensible thing.

I'm pursuing a doctorate right now in a field i enjoy. I can work as hard as i want; if i don't con people, if i don't engage in unethical business practices, i'm never going to make more than $100,000 in a year. i honestly doubt if i'll ever make it past 75k.

Cadburry & Rowantree ?????? you're trying to promote a really ignorant and dangerous worldview, son. so shut the FUCK up.

Have to agree with this sentiment. I think there HAS to be a point where a person simply has enough? I haven't even mentioned tax avoidance but christ some people in the world are just really taking the piss in a way that has to stop.
Noone needs several million pounds. Fucking noone. Not one person needs several million pounds to survive. Yet we have billionaires all over the world who are currently not reinvesting ANY of their money and they want MORE tax breaks? There should be a law where once you have over a certain amount of money you HAVE to do good stuff with it. Otherwise what is the point of growing economies, if not to give everyone a bit more?
There has to be a point where enough is enough imo.
Anyway, better get this back on topic, sorry bout the mini rant.

Not sure what field you're studying nor what country you're in (but I'd guess US since you used $ and "son"). PhD mate of mine went over to the states over five years ago to earn $90k straight off the bat. She's well above that now. Unlike Europe, the US actually pays technical PhDs a decent wage if they're good.

I have a PhD too. I don't earn craploads of money but I'm comfortable. I worked my arse off my entire life to get 2 scholarships. So I think some of your assertions are wrong.

Woolwich is absolutely fucked, http://www.bexleytimes.co.uk/news/londo ... h_1_989040



Such a sad state of affairs when this kinda shit happens on your door step, nothing ever happens here apart from a couple of stabbings/shootings a year then boom - we're one of the main places hit last night.

EDIT: Some pictures.

i agree that some people have too much.... but you have to realize as an adult that you're never going to have everything you want. Unless you're bill gates there are some things that will always be out of reach.

Doing with just what you need and only some of your wants is a reasonable expectation in life.

Being mad because bill gates can have a gold plated x-box and you don't isn't because there is some great injustice in the world. It's the fact no one needs a gold plated x-box including you so you should stop feeling that you're entitled to it just because bill gates has one.

LA riots were about civil rights, racism, and an area that was literally a war zone at the time. Not being pissed because they can't afford what the next man has. It was about being pissed because they couldn't even go to apply for a job in the white part of town because odds were they'd get pulled over for being black in a white part of town, likely beaten, often killed, and taken to jail for no reason.

Oh, good; the racists have found a marketing opportunity in amongst a city's disaster. I'm sure they'll really be acting sensibly, too.
