Other Aberdeen is a broad church - discourse is welcome. You're welcome to disagree with us, but do be polite. We hate it when people aren't polite.
One thing we really hate is hostile or disingenuous trolling and so comments like that will be removed. Unless of course we can use Kung Fu to turn the hostile or trolling comment to our advantage or entertainment.
We'll also remove any comments which promote commercial concerns, we hate that too. Ian Jamieson - don't do that again. Your obsequious over-solicitousness is a dead give-away and shows you to be a lazy dishonest twat attempting to hide your true motivation. Actually - that's *very* Aberdeen.
Oh, and don't abuse the facility to comment anonymously, or we'll just remove it.
Wow! This is very interesting - and sounds more plausible than what the conservative politicians say. And sounds better than what most experts say.

It's interesting - but interviewed looters claimed that they were looting in order to teach the "rich people" a lesson. Doesn't that imply that, far from rejecting the values and obligations imposed by wider society, they are actually acknowledging those values and using them as the payload of their weaponry? After all, if they really believed that those goods should be free for all to take as they see fit, then in what sense would they be "punishing" anyone by taking them?

We can't see that anywhere in the text above. Where did you see it?
