See, it's not nice to correct grammar and spelling.

Also, it is legible. I understand everything in the post.

im no fan of Berties, but it should be a last resort to have to get yanks in to sort your sh1t out. This demeans all work local detectives and different units are doing here,(which I can only imagine is alot). It would also make them the americans puppets.
not to mention the fact that they were probably charging a fortune!!

You need to tackle the problem from the root, you need enouragement for young people to get involved in the community at an early age, this will give them something more to care for than just their criminal parents approval. It would cost an arm and a leg but thats how it must be done.

I agree that we should be able to sort out our own problems but whats been done so far simply is not working. Untill our justice system is overhauled from the current system of where the law protects these criminals more than their victims then we are going to continue getting knowhere.

Also regarding giving young people things to do, when I was growing up I didn't get involved much in community things, I didn't get involved in any anti social behaviour either and turned out ok. The basic sense of what is morally right and what is morally wrong seems to be devoid in these people.

As the saying goes "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink."

Bah. Conspiracy Theorists always screw themselves up by writing as if they had zero education.
When the sentence was decoded, it looked liked quite an interesting piece of information.
You might find that this could have turned into an epic thread if it was posted with some degree of legibility. Instead it just looks like some crazy with a computer spewing out the usual crap you would find in the Conspiracy Theories forum.

Bollocks. I put that in there for one post. Then I turned "view sigs" off in the control panel.
That means I have had that damn signature for well over a year. I just couldnt see it.

was your family heavily involved in crime? were your parents aggressive/alcoholics/even gangsters? People will always look for their parents approval, especially at a young age, if you can give young people something else to care about they will realise that (wait for it), crime isn't worth it!!!

However, if you leave them off, they will go down the exact same path as their family.

All great in theory of course, but I guess the government dont have the proper knowledge on the ground and will spend more money on regenerating unnecessary houses rather than spending it all on human improvements

I did. I asked you to rewrite it. If people thought it was an arsehole comment rather than what it was intended for then I am not really going to bother correcting them.

For what gain? Do you have any other sources that state this apart from yourself? Anything official?
