Rising crime in the UK

Rising crime in the UK
There has been a dramatic rise in crime in the UK in recent years, as well as in other countries. What could be the cause of this? There was a time when stabbings and acid attacks and other crimes were rare, but it seems that nowadays it's a case of another day another stabbing. 

Whether it's "urban youths" (strange term, don't you think?) stealing phones, or individuals behaving in an aggressive, erratic way, there's always something in the news every day. It's also very worrying how many individuals these days are walking around wearing balaclavas. 

It never used to be like this. I wonder what might have given rise to all this crime and violence.

I have not seen the statistics that support your claim that there's been a dramatic rise in crime/violence. Source?

OP posted the same thread at AF, word-for-word. He's also a blatant bigot, which can be read between the lines of this more-subtle approach. Don't be fooled.

Yes, he seems to be very fishy. Most probably thinks he is WAY smarter in his approach than he actually is. I am willing to wait for him to implode and finally plainly say what he is hinting towards all the time now.
Like i said, Thinks hes way smarter than he actually is. Damn, who took me popcorn?

Nope, you make claims, you support your claims. Show how very, very obvious the rising crime rate in the UK is.
Ill give him less than 2 weeks until he implodes. Any takers?

You did. Please, please put a little bit more effort into this. All the other trolls we banned are embarrased now.

There's a difference between rise and increase. If you think there has been an increase that's up to you but I can't respond if you can't demonstrate your claims.

This is your second warning. Do not cross post between atheistforums.org and atheistdiscussion.org. Cross posting means duplicating threads or posts over more than one forum. You were previous warned here. Your posts will be moderated for a week.

Stop bullshitting and put your money where your mouth is.
Wo is it? Jews? Blacks? Muslims? Libruls? Foreigners in general? Some weird combo of any of them? Are you too much of a coward to tell us what your obsession is? After all you joined the forum with a goal in mind? You surely dont want "them" to keep doing their evil deeds.

So, who is it?

There is also the option of you being just another random pathetic basement dweller, who pretends to be some other kind of pathetic idiot.

Which one is it?

I'm guessing that you think that immigrants are behind it, eh Jamie?

And when you make a claim it's up to you to back it up... Everyone knows that, it's obvious.

Thread also reported by Danu "Crossposting the same thread as at another forum after warning " but Jamie has since been warned further on in the thread and put under moderation for a week so I shall delete the warning.

If trolls would be able to write something worthwhile they wouldn't be trolls in the first place.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

You better watch out. Looks like someone hacked your account.

You're quite right, I guess I did say it. I'm not too proud to admit when I'm wrong. Anyway, let's move on, unless you have any questions about what I said.

You knew what you were saying. You werent wrong, you were lying. But ill give you the chance now to straighten out your story and show us that you are not a low effort troll.
My question is: Where is the evidence for your claims? If it was so obvious, then it should have been much easier to present than to wiggle around here for naught. Where is it? What is it?

Look, as things stand now, you are either someone who is too much of a coward to admit to your position, or you are a shitposter who is either too incompetent or too lazy. If you are a racist, at least try to defend your position properly. If you are a troll, just put more effort into it, so we all have at least a little bit of fun....before you are gone. Your choice.

Makes his lie the distraction, wants to "move on" without answering the original question he's hoping folks have forgotten.

Where have we seen this MO before?

That is literally the opposite of how reason works.

Any atheist knows this.

You are a troll.

You even told me so in a DM.

Fucking go away.
