    Multiculturalism is great. Such wonderful cultural enrichment.

    No different to the behaviour of many English native football fans.

    I'm about one more marvel/Disney mega corporation comic film away from this myself.

    (that joker film was pretty good though)

    I know there's a racist point you're trying to make, but from reading the link you provided I'm afraid it's lost on me.

    A load of gangs start fighting watching a film about gang fights, what has it got to do with multiculturalism?

    The paper is very parochial

    Hence the name "Liverpool echo" it's a local paper that reports on Local news in Merseyside. The movie is banned from VUE venues in Merseyside, How is that so hard to understand?

    A distant observation, but it seems quite clear that parallel societies are becoming more and more established.

    It's like a re-creation of entire countries within countries. I looked at that trailer and I have absolutely no connection or resonance with it, no commonality, no "group" empathy, nothing.

    It's like looking at insular footage from the Congo or something. Yet, for English people, it's a stones throw around a corner, or in this case something you run into at a cinema.

    Just alien to me, and I don't see anything positive about the idea of parallel communities going forward.

    Bizarre, really!

    movie seems to be about gang violence in general?

    bunch of kids got together for an auld fortnite-inspired brawl

    When 'The Warriors" was first screened in New York around 1980, there were policemen on hand in some cinemas.

    New York had a chronic gang problem and the movie kinda glorified them.

    If you saw a bunch of Japanese lads hacking each other to death with katana's, would you be so thick as to not ascribe a commonality beyond "men"?

    There's always racial angles in these things, sometimes crossing over into actual plain racism. Then there's pretending to be thick :p

    All joking aside, knife crime in Britain is out of control. This week the 127th person died as result of a knife attack. There is no denying that there's an epidemic of knife crime in Britain and it's happening within the ethnic minority communities. I watched Eastenders the other night and they are doing the very ''woke'' thing of trying to make Stop and Search seem like a bad thing. Stop and Search stopped and knife and acid attacks have spiralled out of control. To my mind it is better to stop these lads maiming and killing themselves and innocent members of the public instead of worrying about hurting feelings. One has to ask is it time that machetes and large hunting knifes were banned?

    We'll that's the problem, isn't it? How do you ban cutlery?

    Yes, some bladed weapons are much worse, but a 4" sharpened butter knife will still kill.

    It's an attitude problem, a cultural problem, an acceptance problem. Solving such ingrained stuff... Good luck :/

    Where are they getting the machetes though? Online, if so then there needs to be a limit on the size of knives that can be bought. The video earlier this year of the lad on the bike in England getting off his bike, pulling out a huge zombie knife and chasing a driver to try to knife him was shocking. More shocking was that he got away with it, scot free. Some judge in his infinite wisdom decided that it didn't warrant a custodial sentence. There should be a mandatory 5 year custodial sentence for anyone found carrying and offensive weapon.

    In the UK most shops insist on age verification to buy knives (over 18's dont stab people and there is no fake I.D apparently) but worse case scenario you could make a "knife" in minutes with a piece of metal and a sharp stone/kerb stone.

    It's an epidemic that needs to be fought head on and much much much tougher sentences introduced.

    For clarity, this was one of my best friends

    The machete incident happened in the Birmingham area, both London and Birmingham have had a huge increase in first and second generation Africans from war zones like Somalia in the last twenty years, this is the result of New Labour's mental immigration policies, add the 2008 bank crash and austerity and this is the sort of thing that results.

    Of all the horrible sounding Brit accents (and some of them are lovely) the one the urban black guys have is the most annoying, any show featuring it is an immediate switch off. And I'd rather go deaf than hear Dizee Rascal rap or any grime music.

    They need a police force more like the US over there to sort out all these stabbin c*nts

    What, have them go around shooting black people? There is a lot of police forces in the world that the English police force could aspire to be like, IMO the Americans aren't one of them.

    Why do Black people Kill So Many Black People ?

    Is this some sort of Self Racism ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭beejee


    That says more about you than about any film though

    Only a pig-ignorant idiot could refuse to see the very thing in front of his eyeballs.

    Let me make this real special for you.

    Black swans and white swans inhabit a lake. White swans have an unknown genetic disorder and they are dying. ONLY the white swans are dying.

    In comes detective genius to narrow down the most basic, basic, basic, basic, basic, basic, VISUAL identifier...

    "jeez, I dunno, it seems it could be any of the swans at risk here. Complete mystery!"

    Notwithstanding that all things run deeper than sheer visualisation, to be so utterly, purposefully ignorant of the most basic of observations... Unbelievable. I just will not accept that a functioning human brain is that faulty. Impossible.

    So no, my observation of reality says nothing of me beyond the fact I have eyeballs. You, on the other hand, it's an essay in dysfunctional social malevolence.

    Unless we make all food soft and bitesized such a knife ban would only control the style of knives getting used for the stabbings.

    No. Only an idiot would blame music for gang violence. The genre you are thinking of is drill, and no, that isn't to blame either.

    Its like the US preachers in the 80's blaming video games and rap/metal music for gang violence.

    Black music is extremely violent and misogynistic. The lyrics are all about drugs,violence and refer to women as whores and generally glorify all the negative things that decent society objects to. Dressing like gangsters and encouraging young lads to aspire to be gangsters is a pathetic thing to do and should be called out as such. Black men have a notoriety for domestic violence and rape. That's not racism, take a look at Africa, it's endemic and seen as a cultural norm for men to beat and sexually assault their partners.
