so and what did voting ever did for the people besides giving them a false sense that they actually have some decision power?
you might want to take off your status quo rose colored glasses and start to see the world as it is.
before repeating establishment propaganda.
voting never served a purpose but to poll wich carreer politicians bend the minds of the masses better.
but voting never solved anything that does matter.
for example we could vote and decreet that ignorance would be abolished from ats.
would it work? would it fix the problem? nope

the only diference between looters and government, is that looters actually rob in broad daylight and in everyones face.
governments do exactly the same yet few seem to notice.

What a bunch of F***ING HYPOCRYTES..
I was there, In the middle of the riot, it was mainly youths trying to get their hands on goods.
The same youths that HAVE been NEGLECTED by the government and society.
But to blame it all on the youths who just want some free cash and goodies.....nahhh, its not that simple.
Let alone I believe the government practically orchistrated it. As I say, I was there in the middle of it, observing, the feds knew what they were doing, they were barely anywhere to be seen stopping anyone.......in there absense they ENCOURAGED IT.
I was there I saw it, These kids are guilty of jumping on the band waggon....being opprtunists........and can you blame them? Most fall into my class, raised on a council estate, negleted by the education and social system, they've left school....and now what? I personally am currently working, for a measley £80 a week to gain my self an NVQ. Try living of that!!
As I say I dont condone the "riots", but look at the people in charge of this country before judge an ENTIRE GENERATION.....is it their fault the country dont care about them? You didnt care before, you just labelled them
"Yobs" "Thugs" "Youths" "Scum"..........you spent so much time thinking of ways to alienate them, you didnt get to the route of the problem, you neglected them.....and still their lives are worth NOTHING?

I clearly said I DIDNT condone it. Its people like your self that take what others say and twist into something different.
Educate them selves???
Now I know what you mean, I had to come out of school and educate MYSELF. But I was only capable of that beacause Im blessed with a fairly high IQ, and am able to view "The bigger picture".
I dont know how familiar you are with kids these days, but most of them are as thick as 10 short planks, so how do you exspect them to educate them selves? Incase you havent noticed the giernmant have been dumbing down each generation......DO YOU CONDONE THAT?? ......thought not.
As for the voting system, exactley whats been said above, its a false sense of having power, it wont make a difference in the long run. In fact I wanted to go into parliament...untill I realised I had no chance of moving up the promotion chain because 95% of ALL MPS WENT TO ETON SCHOOL.
Bummer or what? Yes its the governmants fault.
