#1 "young people" aka: yoots.

#2 Has anyone seen Children of Men? I think that it flopped even in the art houses, but it appears to talk to this. Per the trailer, it seems to be about a near future world where no one can have kids anymore (no one knows why) and the whole world has degenerated into something like Beirut circa 1979. It's weird and pathetic in a way since subconsciously, it seems to be a metaphor for what's going on in Europe with the Muslim part of it conspicuously missing. In the trailer, the hero has to get a mysteriously pregnant girl to a team of the "worlds greatest scientists." Yes, secularism saves the day!

How pathetic it is when even your myths lie.

#3 Well - nobody is allowed to criticize. Everybody's opinion is as valid as everyone else's. These out of control children are a result of imperialism, sexism, racism, etc.

#4 Does this mean that British males will have to start dying like Russian males while in early middle age, so that Russian = Brit society will end up being taken over by Muslims + Chinese??? IT COULD BE WORSE - THE ABOVE COULD ALL BE LIKE AFRICAN NATIONS [e.g. ZIMBABWE] AND HAVE A GREATER THAN 60%-80& CHANCE OF DYING BEFORE AGES 25-30.

#5 Let's see, the adults and authorities won't discipline the native Anglo-Saxon youths because it might damage their self-esteem, or maybe their just afraid the kids will beat them up. And they won't enforce the laws against the Muslim yoots out of political correctness and/or fear. Can we at least get these two groups of young people to focus their til-now pointless aggression on each other, and not bother the rest of the country so much?

#6 11A5S, I read the book. It has the least sympathetic protagonist since John Kerry. Interesting idea, horrible read.

#7 You also are not allowed to defend yourself in Old Blighty, the police won't do anything to protect you. If you try to defend yourself and your property YOU are the one that winds up in prison.

You get what you pay for.

#8 What you get is frustration that turns into the irrationality reflected in comment #2 to this post. That is the kind of irrationality that is emerging in the US also. And there is no justification for it over here.

#9 My wife works at a middle school and she swears that sometimes the only discipline some of these kids get is at school. On the flip side once they cross her (and lose) they are not too likely to cross her again. She has been called Bitch Whore Cunt and many other colorful names by 12, 13, and 14-year-olds. I could never do her job because the first time a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader called am an asshole they would be unconscious or crying because of the crack I would deliver. (Homey dont play that)

#10 CS, are you implying there is any ethnic distribution to the perps? I know what I suspect, but that's not the basis on which to make policy. Each individual deserves to lose consciousness upon commission of the offence. No offence, consciousness continues at its prior level.

#11 My wife works at a middle school and she swears that sometimes the only discipline some of these kids get is at school.

This remind sme of YET an another book I've never read, and never will bother to because it's easier to surf for porn, "Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses".
His other writings on this subject seem interesting too, this one in particular, for example.

#12 This is the result of Marxist/leftist doctrine which took away guns, and now takes away the right of self-defense and even criticism. All animals are able to detect weakness in other animals. They always pick out and attack the least defensible in the herd. When you allow yourself to be defenseless, you are to blame. Then your quality of life falls to nothing. You become a prisoner in your own home. Some of my favorite reading these days is my monthly NRA magazine where someone has prevented themselves from being killed thanks to their ability to handle a gun. Quite often, there is mention of someone breaking the door of an elderly resident, charging in, only to come face-to-face with the barrel of granny's gun. And, more and more, thes grannies do not back down. They fire multiple rounds at close range. Either finishes the perp, or when he drags into hospital is immediately arrested. What I'd like to see is the absolute fear in his eyes when he realized he was completely f**ked and was going to go down.

#13 I don't care if they are White, Black, Yellow. or Purple they should not be using that language. Maybe if they got some dicipline at home the schools would be a lot nicer. Trust me there is a solid cause and effect here. If my kids ever talked to an adult that way explusion would the least of their worries, recovery in ICU would be at the forefront. You can go to ANY screwed up place in the U.S. and the underlying cause is lack of parental control. Didn't the UK put cameras in the classroom and then see a drastic reduction in disruptions?

#14 Agreed Cyber Sarge. But now we got 'em and the parents have no ability to help. What's the plan? I'd like guidance on a 220 lb. 5th grader. I've an open mind, but minimal legal help.

Stomach bypass surgery would be a good start...
