Care to enlighten us on which 2/3 of the population you would like to see eradicated? A few members of your friends and family maybe? :thinking: Ah! war "what is it good for" as the song goes. What kind of war should we have? A press of the button job or one where people are left mamed? Better still why dont you sign up and do your bit? :D

A: No one's mentioned anything about eradicating certain sections of the population.

B: There is no need to take this to a personal level.

The fact is there's over 6bn of us. We're massively over-populated, and quickly making the planet uninhabitable both for ourselves and anything else.

tbh im not sure what can be done about it but the truth is we are over populated. In this country and as a planet.

And don't for one minuet think bad things arent happening with children all over the world.

It's essentially due to over-population. You see similar behaviour in chimpanzees when you have too many of them in one area.

We need a blummin good war or a disease to wipe out about 2/3 of the race.

Hello!! Anybody there? ;) Its not taking anything to a personal level but when you make a statement saying wipe out 2/3 of the race, then how am I supposed to persive it? To me wipe out means to destroy, eliminate, eradicate, "Get rid of" No! English was not a strong point of mine so please correct me if I am wrong in this instance. ;)
Ps. And my comment was which 2/3 would it be? I know which percantrage I would like to stay with, the ones that get to finish their lifes in peace and quiet.

I didn't realise that English is not your first language - apologies.

But I expect you to take it in the spirit of discussion and debate - there's no reason or prompt to make it personal.

As for which 2/3s of the population - I didn't mention either.

War would decide according to strength. War is actually a very inefficient way of getting rid of people - disease is far more effective, and has absolutely no regard for station or race, so would be the preferable option.

All the cr@p pumped in by the media, video games, peers and little attempt of parental control.

Nothing to do with overpopulation either imo. You don't hear of this sort of thing in China for instance.

See my previous points.

You might like to consider that the Chinese media is also massively restricted in what it can report. Just because you don't hear about something doesn't mean it didn't happen - if a man speaks in a forest and there isn't a woman around to hear him, the man is still wrong.

Ok Myky D. Lets start at the begining :) Fourth post down from the OP, you state that what we need is a blumming good war or disease to wipe out 2/3 of the race, my question and I cannot put it in any simpler terms, is which 2/3?
You are correct you did not mention population, but again I took the word race to mean humans, which is what people are. If you would like to include yourself in the 2/3 to be wiped out thats fine, just count me out of it:lol:

I'm sorry - what are you getting at? The race needs to be reduced by 2/3. What's the problem? Which 2/3? Any.

No I quite understand that, it was me who mentioned which 2/3. However what I was trying to put across, was the fact that killing off 2/3 of the human race is not really a solution. How long before the population regenerates, and ends up back at the start and you get an isolated case such as this? I know its happened before as in the case of James Bulger, but taking into account the population of the UK its still really isolated. IMO there is no quick solution, I imagine the area has a high unemployment as it used to be a mining town, there are no major industries there as such, there could be a number of contributing factors as already mentioned.

Best not to imagine and stick to the facts if you know any of Doncaster.

Not being funny here Foggy,we are all entitled to imagine. And as I was only going by what I was reading at the time. http://www.syfire.gov.uk/local_fire_station_44427D34857A4E0184BBE0F10FBE6695.htm

I assumed that like a lot of old mining towns that unemployment was fairly high, as it is getting everywhere now. That in turn just led me to think that maybe, just maybe the scenario of this case is the kids live in an environment where there was a possibility of one or both of the parents being out of work. That sometimes not always can lead to a break up of the parents, which in turn in some (but not all) cases, leaves one parent not really giving a toss what the kids are up to. When I read the part which says Old Edlington, a small settlement of a few houses and no services, I wonder what the situation is like here for people, a community trapped so to speak? Like I say I can only imagine, but please feel free to put me straight on what exactly it is like. :thumbs:
 
No problem, Doncaster isn't a mining town as such but did have many outlying mining areas. Most pits have closed long ago and communities have moved on. Edlington is a massive estate that is only 3 miles from the town centre and like many large estates does have its problems with a minority of residents. I work in a large factory close to Edlington and has many emloyees from that area. My wife also works there and without going into too much detail has spoken to people directly connected to one of the injured boys. Both of the accused are in the foster care system.
 
Yeh I read about that, its a pity it has to happen in the first place, and at the moment nobody in the public is going to know the ins and outs of those kids circumstances. Its just far to easy to blame the kids even though they have done wrong. Do I know what the answers are? No. :thumbs:

I live in London. It's more overcrowded than Doncaster. The kids shoot each other here over crack deals. It happens on such a reglier basis no one really bothers to report it any more.

plus we very rarely hear about the child gangs/gang members in overcrowded places such as brazilian slums etc (although that in itself is a vicious circle spiralling from poverty as well as overcrowding




im not convinced the problem is to totally to do with overcrowding, its more to do with a complete lack of values set out through parenting, a complete lack of care for others and respect for other peoples lives.

unlike 40-50 years ago death is a reletively uncommon (i mean untimely death here say someone getting killed) when the chances are someone close to them would have perished in a war, people respected peoples lives back then because they knew the effect of someone being killed to those around them. those people who were heroes were those that either died in battle or came home alive (compared with modern day heroes who have 'starred' on big brother...)


whereas these days kids dont have any respect or care for anyone else but themselves, they see violence on the tv, in computer games and are conditioned to it to some extent. they know exactly what they are doing (those *******s that killed james bulger etc) and to put it short they dont care, the only remorse most of them will show is remorse for being caught not for what they've done.:bat: and for punishment we give them a few years in a 'cushy' room, out in a few years on good behaviour and a new identity when they get out....






heres a story close to me.
when i was at uni i went out to a nightclub, i left the night club and started to walk home with a few mates and a lad and his mates that i knew through his ex. we decided to stop for a late night sit in curry but they elected to walk home.... he never made it
he was pushed to the ground and stamped on my a gang of youths which ultimately lead to his death, what had he done to provoke this, absolutely nothing apart from looked a little bit alternative. absolutely no care for other peoples lives.
