      From: edwardbelsky@worldnet.att.net              The Baby Boomers did not create the British Welfare State. Check the dates       in A.J.P. Taylor's book on twentieth century English history if you don't       believe me. . You are like the apocryphal Australian high-schooler who       believed that England was discovered by an Australian who rode a giant wave       way way out.( I'm alluding to solipsism.)       >       > If 'poverty' was the cause of all the mayhem and violence in London right       > now - one of the richest cities in the world - then why, when London was a       > lot poorer -- and its poor exceedingly poorer than they are now -- say 50       or       > 60 years ago, wasn't there the huge amount of violence, murder, mayhem and       > petty crime and antisocial behaviour we see today? Lefties need to riddle       > that one, and riddle it good..               If the whites in London were suffering such terrible statistics, the death       penalty would have been reintroduced a long time ago. pc or no pc. Murder       and crime is the scourge of the Black community but there are many unsung       great people there. That community suffers from hip-hop but not from pc-type       relativism. It is the one community in England in which the church is       strong.       Judaism or the DeathPenalty could make a difference there but that has to be       appreciated within that community. I appreciate your concern but you are       blaming everything on boomers and pc because you are angry at boomers and pc       forreasons other than crime. You are like a settler in the west bank who       blames the fact that Hamas won the Palestinian election on the evacuation of       Jews from Gaza.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
