Right. So you want to control opinion - institute some balance. Well, the thread isnt about growing roses.

And you want to control what I and others here read? What planet are you from? You should get a job with some third world dictators public affairs team if controlling the opinion of ordinary folks is what you want to do. I and others here make up my own mind. This isnt Wired We Fvcking Well Decide What Your Opinion Should Be Forum last time I checked. You need to settle the hell down.

Why not contribute to the thread rather than trying to be so offensive. Thats not too difficult.

From The Guardian, where thankfully there is a debate going on about society and the present problems facing teenagers in London with knife crime - one contributors opinion.

"Kids are stabbing each other because the have no respect for human life, they don't care about anyone not even themselves and why you ask???
Look around. I leave my house of a morning smile and say good morning to my neighbor in the street and he looks to the ground or people just look at you oddly. Then i get on the tube people push you and shove you, i've seen the elderly fall off the train, pushed by another person getting on, nobody helps them up. I've seen people with bags or babies trying to get up flights of stairs and nobody gives them a hand they just push by and tut than they've made them 0.2 seconds late for work and it goes on. Nobody gives a stuff about anyone else in London and i've never seen it this bad in any other city i've been to. And when people so obviously don't care about anyone else but themselves how on earth to you expect you're kids to grow up??? When you have a city of people who have number 1 on their mind you teach that number 1 is all your kids have to care about.
So what will this seemingly small problem in England leed to...Teen Suicides and suicides in general, depression, loneliness and killings i.e. stabbing.
When i was a teenager i remember it was a massively hard time, you go through a sort of depression hormonally and mentally because everything' changing and you don't believe in you're parents for a while because you're trying to distance yourself i guess and you don't care about yourself actually there are lots you don't like about yourself as a teenager, so if you feel in your head that you don't believe in yourself and you don't believe in your parents and you don't believe in those around you because they definitely don't look happy or care about anyone but themselves and most people don't have god to look to in their lives anymore (even the mention of the word god or Jesus puts a twinge down most peoples spines) so what else is there??? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Nobody to care about you, don't care about myself = depression, anger, frustration, confusion = 1 incident where it all gets to much.
We need to not point the finger at them or the parents we need to point the finger at ourselves and change."
