Possession of a gun (although anything can be deemed a weapon) carries with it very high prison sentence in UK. Recent "Drive-by" shootings offenders have each received, on average, 32 years in prison.

say what you want to happen ? what and how would you "crack down" ?

Do you think a law makes things disappear by magic ? Speeding is against the law - this law has not stopped speeding. Bankers fiddling trillions of pounds is against the law - has the law stopped these criminal scum ??

Myrtel is a small bush with a white flower quite common on Greek islands. The two flags are Greek and Irish - tiled into my wall where I live - on a Greek island. I am Irish.

I totally agree. The BBC produced a masterpiece. I also think Muhammad Ali was the perfect athlete, truly the greatest boxer that ever lived.

Based on the few questions / debates i have read over recent weeks it seems to me the majority of responders are against racism and speak out strongly against the bigoted point of view. The racist contributors (Black or White) hold their racist stance on generalisations and rarely provide a settled argument.

Some views are not worth responding to. A healthy sign.

Yes. In UK we have the same old Oxford Cambridge candidates who have been weaned to be politicians from the moment they started in Public School. The fact Blair set up New Labour after the "sudden" death of John Smith convinced me that someone or some group must be controlling the whole lot. Now that we are sunk into corporatism and Multi National ownership and control - it is clear that something is controlling the lot in their own interest. The recent Bankers failure - when they still get high bonus pay says it all for me. The very name "ILLUMINATI"

is challenging you to prove it exists ?? whatever name, there is a small group of very powerful people who are shafting the rest of us.

"BOY" !!!!!!! Your cover is slipping !!!

You sound like the racist.

Sometimes sarcasm works !! Bad start ............ moving on ............

Take a look at "MIDNIGHT" he/she has done the same as me - ??

I bet if i called him/her "BOY" the sparks would fly ???

Look forward to future debates with you.

In the context of my mistaken belief that you had replied to me - my answer is not a tirade nor am I "Mr Sensitive". I am new to this site and am still getting used to the rather wrangled way it progresses argument.

Now that i am better informed I can respond to you with an apology.

However - I would have simply stated "I think your responding to my comments is misplaced as I was not referring to your answer" !!

So it seems - on the face of it - that you can be just as sensitive as me and can deliver a mild tirade.

ARE YOU WHITE BY ANY CHANCE ????

I am simply informing my skin colour to this debate. i am not answerable for the "SINS" of the ACCUSED WHITES. The question is a generalisation based on prejudice. ALL prejudice is based on ignorance. It is difficult to debate on an accusation having no proven basis in fact. However if the debate is intended to form around a deliberate provocation - then so be it. The questioner has not set out a reasoned point therefore his question is rhetorical and needs focus in fact.

I would not generalise on any race / colour of people.

For example > I certainly DO NOT believe that ALL Muslims are terrorists.

Sin - has not been defined ?? Your "GOD" has not been defined ??

I do not speak for white people - only myself. The use of "the white man" implies that I have sinned ??? sorry to disappoint you, tell me how "I" have sinned.

I am white - count me out, thank you very much !!!! It would help if you narrowed down your question to specific events.
