regressives ignore mass child abuse in Indigeneous communities,
Steele redux,

I suppose that abuse is all our fault ? The unstained characters of the indigenous must surely rely on outsiders to abuse their children.

Is Mise,

You can speak Hindi? That's wonderful.
And, you can read Early Irish? Even more amazing.
I can fully understand the problems involved with
early languages. I had to study the heroic poem
"Beowulf" for English Lit. at uni. Our lecturer
gave us copies of it in Old English. It wasn't
easy, as I recall.

Hi Foxy,
I'm no angel, I have character flaws and make mistakes the same as anyone else.

But I do honestly try to look at all the pro's and con's of an argument and weigh it up on its own merits, based on the knowledge I have.
Should more facts come to light that change the way I view an issue, I always reserve the right to change my opinion.

But also I'm different to you in that I believe it's ok to stir, be blunt, and make fun of someone (within reason) to nudge them in a direction that might make them think about things differently.

Like BDS might be considered a non-violent form of protest.
Humility may be a non-violent form of correction.

Similar to when you're a kid and you trip over and your parents say
"Watch where you're going you idiot", and you learn to pay more attention.

I don't really like doing it, and I wish I could win my arguments more with wit.

London has the same problem:

"London’s crime wave continues — and there is much we can learn from it and the problems police are facing in Britain. Of course all Western police forces are distracted by the need to prevent terror crimes, but too many of London’s police are desk-bound and process-driven while their bosses fear a civil libertarian backlash if they crack down on ethnic-based crime. As in Australia, England’s judges and magistrates are reluctant to deliver custodial sentences, even for repeat offenders.............

So far this year there have been 1500 stabbings and about 50 stabbing deaths. I was told by police that most of the shootings and stabbings in London are “black-on-black”, and are gang and drug-related. Most gang members are aged 10 to 27. Gang leaders are usually sophisticated criminals who exploit the younger members to control local areas, mainly to traffic drugs. Sub-teens can be used for violent attacks and are unlikely to be punished.

A just-released year-long London South Bank University study focused on a Waltham Forest gang calling itself the Mali Boys. A 40-strong gang, its older members are drawn from the ­Somali community, while younger members include boys and girls from other backgrounds. The study notes: “The Mali Boys are heavily involved in drug supply and have a street reputation as a violent and feared group across the borough.”

Latest terrorism attack with knife in Canada. Suspect born in Iran. Nothing to see heh , Waleed ,abc, Foxy? I mean anyone pointing out facts is racist. Mental health?

I can’t comment on the veracity of any claims regarding African youth crime because I’m a whole continent away from it, apart from when I was living in Darwin and we had a large problem with gangs of African boys fighting with gangs of aboriginal boys. That sorted itself out though when the Africans realised they would always be massively outnumbered and aboriginal boys are a totally different proposition to white ones.
However I can comment on the terminology being used by police to distract from the issue. Similar to Sweden, police statements now contain phrases like “ Australian born” as in, the majority of violent crime is committed by Australian born young people, ignoring the fact that many are the children of African migrants. In Sweden the politically correct phrase is “Swedish National” with regard crime figures which includes those of African origin and lumps them all together.
Personally, I would be very hesitant to invite people from a violent culture, with totally different values, into my house, but that’s just me.
We have enough of our own violent people to deal with, without inviting more in.
