But at least you can get curry now.
Seriously, the social fabric of the entire country is ruined, but the food is great! :/ The sun as truly set on the British Empire. Same with France, Germany, and heck, even Japan is starting to notice diversity is not a strength. When was the last time a general said "We need a DIVERSIFIED front".. Even parents are told they need to be unified.

That's the sort of comment that would get you a knock at the door at 6AM in the UK and Germany.

I agree, in the 2000's cities like New York were doing great. Michael Bloomberg was amazing. Arnold Schwarzenegger was awesome for California. Massachusetts also had republican governors during that time as well. Everything was pretty great, all around. TODAY though? CA cities are dumps, the 'punching game' is a thing in NY, and MA has the most expensive everything... Things can regress when stats stop being reported...

What pushes some demographics to participate in street take overs, twerking on police cars, looting stores in cities, robbing from walmart, target, and pushing people onto subway tracks then? Just the larger urban culture? Where do people get the idea that that is fun/acceptable? It's got to come from somewhere, rap music is a big suspect, but video games like GTA make it much more 'real'. I don't think it's coming from rampant reading of books...

That glamorizing this sort of game is directly responsible for the recent phenomenon of crime in US cities? Street take overs, rampant looting during peaceful protests and even sports team wins(or losses), shoplifting, carjacking, etc?

I could get behind GTA3 back in the day, and even Red Dead Redemption, but I think the evidence must be SOMEWHERE that kids, sadly, glamorize this type of behavior and emulate it in their every day lives.
