Many DU'ers don't understand yobs. Here's an accurate look.

2. How am I apathetic?
Edited on Wed Aug-10-11 09:56 AM by go west young man
Am I missing something here? Please define apathy as I may have it wrong.

apathy <ˈæpəθɪ>
n
1. absence of interest in or enthusiasm for things generally considered interesting or moving
2. absence of emotion

My emotion and feeling is reserved for good people. Not thugs. Your empathy for them is misplaced.
They are the bad guys. They are punks. They are thieves. They are hoodlums.

My apathy goes to the young kids of London who do well every day and strive to be decent human beings under
the same social conditions as these yobs.

Here's a link to the opening scene of the film. This is reality in London these days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2FyFCs6d1I&feature=related

You empathize with the wrong side.

3. Great. Just what Britain and the world needs. Charles Bronson with a Cockney accent.

The peasants are revolting.
