    Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way. Stop the research everyone, we have the root cause!

    I was almost convinced by others that it was an issue with unemployment and underemployment combined with a failing education system and a generally bleak outlook on life for disenfranchised lower classes. Heck, you almost had me convinced it was because we show boobies in the newspaper.

    Now that we know it's "Gang culture" causing all the riots, all we have to do is get these kids to watch opera and read Esquire. Once they are properly cultured the riots will simply vanish.

    A hard heart shatters when a lifetime of mistreatment of others catches up it. The only thing I can think of worse than eventually maturing and having to go through the process of reconciling a life of mistreatment and abuse of others is to never come out of that mindset and lead an entire life of shallow emotional and spiritual attachments.

    The cause of riots is mostly unrelated to gang culture in england.

    And yet again, england doesn't have gang culture. In my brief stay there the people who could be gang members where usually working their ass off and trying to be decent people, most of the troublemakers are entitled middle class white kids who arent bothered to study, work or do anything with their life, so they get together and revert to animalism to entertain themselves in their hollow lives.

    England is a country of decadence. The riots are crimes of opportunity from decadent people.

    I wouldn't link gang life to skin color, but you hit the nail on the head by saying that no school and no work--idleness--will lead to big trouble.
