again, how can you make the corilation that video phone = crime

im still strugling.

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

shipped

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:

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
