im still strugling.

if they really wanted to tape it, they could go to ebay and get a high 8 recorder for 20 bucks

A mobile phone with these video capabilities is easy for a youth to get hold of (legitimately at any rate), whereas a high 8 recorder is too expensive new, too much trouble to acquire off an auction site, and too bulky to carry around. Mobile phones are the basis of this happy slap idea which stupidly is aimed at youths (though frankly I doubt the mental integrity of whichever adults created the entire happyslap idea or anyone who actually participates).

so you honestly think that if video cell phones hadent hit the market yet, there wouldent be thugs roming the streets screwing with peple for the thrill?

Kids that age don't even need freaking cells phones and second, they need to be locked up forever.

If that girl had a cell phone, or an emergency beeper, she could have called the cops.

Better yet, if she had an AK-47, she could have shot the ******s.

Just something to think about other than the BAN EVERYTHING AND LET THE GOVERNMENT RUN YOUR LIFE mentality.

I didn't imply that; of course there would be thugs on the street still, however the advent of such portable video technology allows those people to reach a new low by distributing their criminal behaviour and influencing others (happyslaps in general promotes thuggish behaviour)

so, lets not let them get any lower, but allow the core of the problem to persist.

what sort of logic is that?

The core of the problem is that there are people with abnormal or maladaptive behaviour in society, and that is a problem that will always exist; i'm not getting into a discussion about how to make the world a better place, i'm just talking about what happyslaps promote and\or reflect of society.

holy crap your multiplying

He's just expressing an opinion :huh:

thats fine, all im saying is that thinking cell phones and there video capabilies haev any true reflection on crime and how/why its commited is ridiculous

This is England, guns are illegal, our normal cops don't even carry guns and they manage fine.

well ya see, thats the problem right there! This **** doesn't happen here cause those ****** kids would get shot in the face, if they are lucky. Elsewise they'd jsut get the **** beat out of them/

um, no. they would be arested. the only time an officer threatens a suspect with his fire-arm is when his life is in emediate danger

and i dont think a gruop of misguided teenagers would do that.

id rather have a batton and beat the **** out of them then kill them.

death is the easy way out

So your solution to 'happy slapping' is 'happy shooting'? Or, do you just want the good guys to have the guns? Because, you have to say that first, or the bad guys will get the guns too. (But they probably won't listen, even if you say the guns are just for the good guys. That's why they are bad.)

No, its jsut science. Both sides are afraid of being f*cked up, so neither do it. That's why the cold war ended, and that's why this doesn't happen in the US

there are plenty of thugs and little punks that terorize locals. same **** here as there. people are passive, have no balls.

So, everyone living in fear is a desired result? Also, are you saying that the US doesn't have gang wars where people happily shoot each other? The US has over 10,000 gun deaths a year - guns are not going to help the UK, they would only make it a lot worse. This is a problem with western society, not the UK in particular - the US has its own different problems to deal with.

I don't like the way the UK is going, but copying the US is certainly not a way to go about easing our problems. :no:

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing.

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
