Gangsta Culture To Blame For Gun-Crime Tired of ads?

I think that the "gangsta"' culture imported from the US is a significant factor here. Young kids, especially, but not exclusively, those from the black community have unrealistic, almost comic-book aspirations in life - they want to be DJ's or any number of other unrealistic things that only a small fraction will achieve.

How about we censor all this violent hip-hop music and make it sellable only to people with both their parents?

Umm, I'm in a single parent family and I have no aspirations of becoming a gang leader.

Nice racist, bordering on fascist troll though.

Only last night, the BBC news reporter observed that "Gun crime outside of inner-city areas is still extremely rare". Am I the only person to notice the that inner-city areas have been the subject of an influx of drug-running gangs from certain, very specific, countries? Until we can face realities without fear of being branded racists, anti-immigrationists, or any other label, we have no chance of facing the threat square-on and dealing with it. We are too afraid of the politically correct lobby to speak the truth about what we all, deep-down, know is going on, and until that changes, the gun criminals will run free.

If you think drug dealers are only in inner-city areas you are severely deluded. I have 4 sources I could get drugs from in Eastbourne at the moment.

I swear if you say stuff like this on the poly meet, I'll wipe the smarmy smile off your face soon enough.

Sure you will Jon. But having "sources you can get drugs from" (which probably 80% of people our age have) is a wholly different thing from gangs running round with guns and shooting innocent bystanders.

I believe you said 'drug-running' and said it only occurs within inner-city areas.

Of course, the difference to you is that these ones are black.

And I hardly think a pudgy, bespecticled little facist nonce like you (who can only get girls to do stuff with him by manipulating them when they're drunk) could hold up to much in real life.

Anti white trolls? Coming from the person who is most likely to be voted 'Apolyton Hate-Crimer of the Year' award?

Has it not occured to you that I am white? Just because I don't favour white supremecy or want less ethnic minorities in this country I am anti-white?

I don't see myself as being white because I don't make a distinction based on colour. I've had ethnic minority friends since I can remember and I've never seen a difference between them and I, because there isn't one.

Well, UK has the highest crime rate in the EU while Greece has the lowest.

So in order for Bodington to be proven correct we must force feed your Greek pop for a period of 5 years and see if you become less trigger happy?

To be honest I don't know how I feel about black pride (or gay pride for that matter). I hate the fact that they seperate people, but then opressed minorities perhaps need celebrations like this to feel less opressed.

Let's see you kicked out of a church because of who you are. Or go to give blood with your friends but be refused because yours isn't good enough? Or have to live years of your life hating yourself and thinking theres something wrong with you because schools aren't allowed to teach what homosexuality is because of the law?

I've had to cope with all of these things - things which you, as a white, straight man will never have to deal with. I'd say I'm in an opressed minority.

Well, there are rational reasons behind that, to slow the spread of HIV/Aids.

I don't think sex education should be at school anyway, full stop. Who actually learns anything in them anyway.

I was a Christian ever since I was small. I've abandoned my faith since then. I discovered them to be one of the most narrow-minded and bigoted people in our society.

Incredibly slutty women are allowed to give blood, but because I had oral sex with my boyfriend I'm not allowed?
The blood is thoroughly tested anyway, HIV/Aids cannot slio through. And more straight people are getting it than gay people now.

Actually for me they were useful. There was no way my mum was ever going to teach me about sex. The only way I ever found out about homosexuality was through my friends (after I'd been gay myself for several years).

it depends on where you live, where i used to live (southall) whites were in a minority, bods is from manchester so i don't really know what the situation is there.

but to say that whites are becoming a minority across the country is stupid.

Well I don't really want to get dragged into the troll-fest (whilst the original topic at hand is a worthwhile topic this thread, um, isn't) the Blood Service certainly isn't homophobic.

The simple truth, unfortunately, is that anal sex is more likely to lead to the transmission of HIV/AIDS than vaginal sex. That's biology, not politics. Prevention is better than cure. Perhaps the guidelines should be amended to read that those who have had anal sex should not ever give blood... but no doubt some people would still have a problem with that.

Incidentally, oral sex does not count as "sex" for the purposes of giving blood.

Do they ask if you partake in anal sex, or just your sexual leaning? If it's the latter, then yes, it is bigoted.


EDIT: I just realized you answered my question already, saying that it should be changed to just anal sex. So, it is bigoted - Heterosexuals can have anal sex too, and homosexuals don't necisarily have anal sex.
