I've heard China has been told that Saudi's oil is theirs, so long as they let USA have Iran and Iraq.

I have to agree with this - just look at the DFW board - full of people who have overspent but are now adjusting their expectations and coming through the otherside - maybe its going to be a whole lot tougher over the next few years and I for one am annoyed that having been careful I am now caught because of those who haven't (i.e getting a cheap mortgage will be harder for everyone) but I can't see society falling apart as a result.

For all its problems I would still rather live in the UK than in many other places . . .

ah you mean the " i borrowed but don't feel like repaying club"?

they may think that going pop is the easy option, but they can just wave goodbye to the next ten years. Yep, I'm sorry for genuine hardship, but disgusted in the little club who think BR is "dealing with their debt" - like suicide is "dealing with problems in my life" -

By that definition the 80's generation of East Germany would have grown to accept that living under communist suppression was the norm so let's just carry on.

Society grows and develops, sometimes elements aren't perfect but that's life but then the pendulum swings and a new generation makes it's changes to the society in which it lives. We do not stand still whilst the planet revolves, we move with the times. Did th world accept to be a black south africa living under apartheid was OK?

Lot's of big improvement now eh?

There is a middle ground.

Wasn't this thread titled "Rising tide of bad debts will flood over banks"?

How did it degenerate into a bash the youth and the whole population of the UK? Since it has can I point out, sorry to repeat what others have said:

Migration is far from new, the vast majority of the US & Australians populations are of immigrant decent.

The Industrial Revolution made mass movement of the population common place and society survived.

Global tragedy brings out the best in people, how much did you give to the Indonesian Tsunami, did you think about it first or was it instinct?

I could go on but I won't. I have had the good fortune to live in several other countries and wouldn't swap my UK citizenship for any other.

Well everyone is different, I live in Indo, and I wouldn't come back to blighty for anything. You can have my share, and the best of luck.

Is that what you would call the people who killed the 2 french students in London?
Stabbed 250 times and then burned for a laptop and a console.
That's not human.

Well said that man/woman!:T Even if UK plc has been on abit of a spending spree a great deal of it has not been wasted. Many individuals have updated houses - rooves, windows, extensions, kitchens, etc. The Government has invested massively in new schools which really needed doing. Schools have never had it so good. All the things that we've bought still exist, maybe now they'll just seem more precious....;)

PS I love my ipod and my lap top...

Put roofs on the schools and hospitals, and find teachers and nurses who don't require flack jackets to go to work, and we are laughing.

You can't eat an extension.

not even for a laptop and a console

they stole the laptop the week before

they were killed for 2 x £100 psps

doesn't matter though, people are being killed just because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time on a daily basis now.

such as this one local to me a few months ago. utter utter scum

Sadly it is human, as are many other attrocities one man has enacted upon another through the millenia. To condemn a generation for the actions of the tiny minority is to condemn us all. I abhor the crime these individuals committed, some crimes are beyond forgiveness but surely you are not saying that all the youth of today are capable of anything like this level of crime. Are you?
