I didn't exactly understand what you were saying but I was getting some interesting thoughts. Do you have some links to reading material on this?

What binds those cells, those atoms, into my experience? From a scientific standpoint, there's nothing there that isn't everywhere else in the universe - just particles and physics.

Sweet your in my area. No actually I was not born until 79. I was born in the Children's Hospital before they tore it down. I live north of Bush Intercontinental airport. I've lived here since I was born though.

Give it up for H-Town! Hey ctrlaltbleach....not many sifters will admit they live in the greater Houston area...known of 3 here (myself included) in the history of the Videosift...We're you around in 72' when we got 3-6 inches and it actually stuck around for 2 days? Looks like someone in the Heights filming from a town home or loft apt, eh?

Both of those look like nice little towns I wonder how hard it is to find a job there.

To a large extent it depends on what areas you plan on visiting. I'm not a big fan of London myself, but it is obviously a big draw because of all the tourist locales such as Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, etc. It's not that it's particularly unfriendly, it's just like any other large city - full of hustle and bustle, and that's really not my thing. My sister, however, lived in London for five years and loved it, so I guess each to their own. I much prefer the scenery of the North of Scotland, places such as the Cairngorms, Aviemore and Fort William. Beautiful areas, and no urban blight in sight.

Sorry Im horrible at getting myself understood the first time on these things I think my brain over thinks simple conversations sometimes. I guess what I was thinking was what the likely hood of that kind of thing happening again was or does it happen often? Do people seriously get harassed a lot? I was even thinking of taking a trip there one day and I wanted to have a good experience. I guess Im wondering if thats likely?
Ive actually thought of Denmark it looks like a beautiful place but the language barrier would be huge for me. I actually know a little French thought of moving close to the coast where I could take a ferry to the Isle.
Thanks for your input.

I'm not sure I understand your question fully, but if you're asking me for a ratio of goths to degenerate low-life then I would say 1: many. Aimless, jobless, intent-on-criminality pond life are legion in this country, although in part I suppose that's down to the government as unemployment is high and aspirations are low among the young in the less privileged parts of our society. Forget England, apparently Denmark is a very nice place to live (well at least according to a friend who spent a few months there) if you are looking for tolerant, friendly folk and a youth culture that doesn't revolve around loitering on the streets and haranguing members of the public. I'm starting to sound like the Daily Mail now, So I'd better shut up

Yes I have often thought that moving to England would be some kind of a dream. From hearing about this and what you have said maybe I was wrong. I really thought it would be the king of place where people could walk down the street at night and smile and say hi and be nice to everyone.
A question for you. You say you live in the area. What do you think is the percentage of people that are goth or different according to the people who committed these crimes? Or do you know?

Really shocked that this happened in England. I always thought Europeans were more tolerant of others. Now I'm starting to realize maybe there is no place on the earth where everyone can be happy together.
I live quite near to where this girl was killed. I'm afraid that any romantic notion you had of England doesn't exist any more - we are under siege from feckless, moronic, feral youths who engage in low levels of criminality (and the occasional high profile case) with near impunity. God help you if you ever decide to take one of the little bleeders down a peg or two, though, as you'll more than likely be the one who ends up banged up.
Edit: That's a cringe-worthy related link at the bottom of the page; Sophie Ellis Baxter's Murder on the Dancefloor? Only if they play your song..
