It's people using the social network who radicalize someone. No doubt this obvious truth is avoided in order to deflect anyone from examining what kind of person does the radicalizing - their religious beliefs for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-81615704532756373572017-08-12T16:30:55.466+01:002017-08-12T16:30:55.466+01:00"So why are we paying twice for the same serv...<i>"So why are we paying twice for the same service?"</i><br /><br />Or, more appropriately, "So why are we paying twice for the same disservice?"Ted Treenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392121240286596231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-39109770425074814082017-08-12T16:06:44.311+01:002017-08-12T16:06:44.311+01:00This is that Common Purpose crap again, innit?

They operate a 'payback' system whereby an offender will not be punished, but rather a member of that person's family will take the punishment instead. Assault someone and a family member, brother, sister, mother, son, will be assaulted in a similar manner and told why. Rape a female and a female family member is raped, and told why and so on. There is therefore a huge incentive to behave yourself. <br />Whether this is morally acceptable is subject to discussion, but if the Newcastle or Rotherham Muslims knew that their daughters, wives and mothers would be passed around as sex slaves as a result of their actions, it may have caused them to keep their 14th century habits to themselves.<br />Suicide bombers, in fact, the whole Muslim community, would know that the same number of Muslims, whether family, friends or just members of their community,would be killed in return for an atrocity, may concentrate their hate filled minds somewhat.<br />You may say that a civilised society should not act this way, but who is to say that we are civilised? For every Shakespeare there are thousands of trolls; for every great artist there are thousands of graffiti vandals and for every charitable person there are thousands of thieves, rapists and muggers, and it's getting worse. Following the Frankfurt School of Thought in making the criminals the victims, and vice versa, hadn't worked, no matter how much the snowflakes and SJWs claim otherwise. Perhaps it's time to go back to a proper legal system or follow the method of that PNG tribe? <br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-1957806705632692982017-08-12T11:31:30.652+01:002017-08-12T11:31:30.652+01:00"So why are we paying twice for the same serv..."So why are we paying twice for the same service?"<br /><br />Because taxpayers are sheep...but your question implies that Messrs Plod and Jobsworth provide something taxpayers need.MTGnoreply@blogger.com
