I know that they get paid less in the USA and there is still a lot of prejudice against them. Even just watching the news gives you quite an insight.

If a story happens on, say, CNN (which I watch a bit, but I prefer EuroNews, that's great) then it's almost always the same -

If the story happens in a lower-class/working-class area then it's mostly black people in the neighbourhood, maybe with a few whites.

In a middle class area, almost all white people, almost no black people.

If it's upper class then it can be either really.

I think that if the US does have a second civil war then racial issues will certainly play a role in it, maybe not entirely caused by it though. I think that the bad state of leadership and the economy have already pissed enough people off, it just needs some kind of catalyst.

If you actualy read my whole post you would see that this is not what I am in favour for...
I'm well aware of that, due to having read the whole post, and while you didn't say you were in favour of it, you DID say it "could solve the problem," which is clearly untrue and betrays a certain prejudice, or so it appears.

First, I will stop posting in this particular thread. I do not enjoy anti americanism and I do lose control, I would hate to ruin it for others and of course getting warnings or worse. So, this is my last post and checking of this thread.

Second, I am not against muslilms. I am not christian, muslim, hindu, budhist, jew, atheist. I am not in favour of their religions, but I am not against them.

Third, what I said earlier, stands. If anyone wants to interpet it like a slur against a nation or religion, so be it. That is your problem. Bad as they were, or even evil as some might say (I don't believe in evil so that is just used for easier explanation), it would solve the problem, at least in the UK. I am not in favour of that solution. I am in favour of neutralizing any heads/leadership of terrorists, which includes "big names", rich, politicians, religious heads, that organize, support, lead the groups. Also trying to find solutions to the other (apart from the above) problems that make some people feel the need to join any terrorist organization. That includes forced where necessary, democracization, help to the poorest classes etc, but only after starting dealing with the first problem of the leadership.

Fourth, to whom that said I should leave the USA soon, I do not yet live in the USA, though I hope that one day I will. I am also not an american, but I will try to become one.

Signing off.
