Article says where porn use is up, rape goes down.

[ecchi]

When videos first came in, you could get hold of any kind of porn in Britain, then a law was passed than effectively banned anything except the softest porn, and also effectively banned violent action films and violent horror films (Texas Chainsaw Massacre type films). Rape and violent crime shot up in Britain after that. It dropped a bit when the Internet became more widely used in the 90's and dropped a bit more when film censorship got less strict, but we are still left with a much more violent society (parts of Britain have the highest violent crime rate in Western Europe). And this from a county where a fatal shooting used to be a major headline, because fatal shootings used to be almost as rare as rocking horse shit!

It's all that gangster rap shit that's to blame.

All the kids talking like their black and thinking knives and guns earn them respect.

I'd drop the little cunts into the middle of Baghdad and see if they think guns are cool then.

Hmm, well actually when "Gangster Rap" first became popular over here violent crime actually went DOWN very slightly.

No but it isn't from the music either. In fact, if you read the articles quoted by other people, and my first post, it is probable that the problem would be WORSE without the "music".

It's the music (if you can call it that) that inspires the culture of drugs and guns, proven fact.
Gang culture inspired by gangster (c)rap, get rid of the culture and ??

You really haven't read any of the articles quoted in this thread at all, they point they make is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.

The point you quote is the excuse the government makes for it's failure to do anything about the problem, and while gullible people like you happily quote the party propaganda I guess it proves the old maxim that "the people always get the government they deserve".

What did you listen to as a young teenager? Many in my generation were listening to Ozzy, Judas Priest and AC/DC. The music didn't cause us to kill ourselves by over dosing on drugs.

Problems are a little more complex then just a single source of noise.

Sure, gangster rap isn't nice but there's a reason why kids find it appealing. Figure that out and then you might be on to something.

I listened to pretty much the same as you and the same as with drugs.

Who knows the attraction with (c)rap, i expect its a way of rebelion as kids always want their own way.
Most vulnerable people fear gangs here in the UK so i can imgaine that that's part of the appeal as the kids imagine it gains them respect.
My ex wife tells me Australia is becoming the same with gangs so there has to be some kind of connection as it's the same music the kids are idolising.
