NO TOPIC

You —

Well This is the new No Topic Topic. 😛

For those who do not know, this place is to talk about nothing. Nada. Zilch. And everything else which according to you does not deserve it's own topic.

The other one was getting a bit long, and was just full of bickering now.

So we have a new start.

The bickering in the Old no topic should not be carried over to here.

EDIT - go to NO TOPIC the Third.

@ NewModontheBlock (Whoever you are... I can't remember ): Only I can lock topics for no reason.

If pointless chatter is locked, we will not have many topics on here. Just make sure things are not over the top, meet the rules etc etc (which reminds me - I need to read them. Can't remember exactly what is banned!)

Joie de Vivre — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 00:44

That's good to know. I created a poll the other day with some additional names on it - Angel, Bliss, Dave, Dawud, Imaani, iRazor, Joie de Vivre, Naz, Snoopz and Oldham_Lad25. The idea was to make it a comprehensive thing and then to have a run-off between a few from each poll, since Sirus' list isn't very official-looking. But New Mod deleted it immediately. With Funzo making a strong showing I feel pretty well validated. What do you reckon?

You — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 00:46

I think to call ti square, I should delete the other one we have now. I do not like all this back patting. (Can't believe I kept my peace for so long!)

Noor — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 00:50

You read my mind. Go for it Admin, that thread has been nothing but trouble.

Ya'qub — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 01:24

Seriously guys, I've found myself skipping through most threads because they're full of rubbish. I know I'm usually the one to post irrelevant stuff, but this is too much.

I preferred the forum when it was dead; at least what little stuff that was posted was worth reading!

Ya'qub — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 13:10

has anybody here walked up every street in manchester?

how is that even possible?

agree

i contributed a lil on tuesday nyt too that, but i werent alone....come on here last nyt and what the... :shock:

and yes, the revival is about debates and discussions, but in a chilled way...no heated up stuff.

and Naz, how can you wait so long knowing the episodes are all available? or cant u hack the suspense?

Funzo — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 18:33

What do you guys think about gang violence?
i mean there is a lot going on especially with the muslim youth, how do we tackle this?

Seraphim — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 19:14

We hire a bigger gang to beat them up.

They're called the Cops.

Naz — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 21:12

Ya'qubhas anybody here walked up every street in manchester?

I only ever get far as the arndale centre lol

Sirusand Naz, how can you wait so long knowing the episodes are all available? or cant u hack the suspense?

coz i have learned to live without it plus i dont get much time these days to watch the telly. Everytime i think im getting over the fact that prison break is on every monday and i cant watch it you come on this forum saying how brill it is and i feel that im losing the will to live lol. I remeber watching season 2 and having sleepless nights just thinking about what would happen in the nest episode (i know im weird). Is the new series just as good as the first and second or you just saying that to make me feel bad?

FunziWhat do you guys think about gang violence?

I dont really think thats a problemo amongst the Muslim youth.

Funzo — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 21:45

In my area it is especially between pakistanis and bangladeshis and also non-muslim vs muslim violence. Recently one of my friends was beaten up when walking to the park by non-muslims and now the people responsible have to have extra security e.g ducking when they drive past. Also they tried to disgrace the prophet pbuh name but they where fools because they can never do that and they never will.

Naz — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 22:25

Funzo Recently one of my friends was beaten up when walking to the park by non-muslims

well thats more to do with racism then gang violence.

Funzo — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 22:27

But it is a problem or do we brush it aside because it didnt involve religion, how the hell are the muslim youth ever going to better themselves when a) there's not a lot help b) everyone is brushing aside because we are young.

I didnt explain properly my friend was part of a gang who are muslims then he got beaten up by members of another gang who werent muslims.

Naz — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 22:38

well that would depend on the motive of the attacker. You dont just go around beating the crap out of someone for no reason.

Where a town consists of at least two different groups of ppl 9 tims out of 10 someones colour/race/religion etc will be the reason. Eg Oldham and Bradford riots.

Places like moss side where the community is made up of predominantly black ppl now thats where there is gang violence.

I think with the Muslim youth gang violence is not that much of a problem. The main problem is drugs (they should all pick up the phone and talk to Frank).

Funzo — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 22:41

TRUST ME it is an issue i should know, but no offence to you. Muslims these days want to copy older drug dealers and "gangsters" and by running in gangs they satisfy this need but then the need gets bigger into drugs etc. I cant stress this enough, it is a problem for where i live.

xSmurfy786x — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 22:43

i agree with u... some of my classmates are all into the same stuff. the new sheesha rubbish thats been going round, the hanging about in big gangs and trying to look bad...

Naz — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 22:44

No offence taken. Your probs right i dont live in an asian, never have so im no expert.

Joie de Vivre — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 23:05

I can second what Funzo is saying. I don't imagine gang issues are particularly worse in Muslim communities, but the social deprivation of many immigrant areas can certainly lead to pretty awful social values, same as in other "deprived" areas ( - I put deprived in inverted commas because it ought to be possible to exploit state education and have higher ambitions no matter where). In any event I have been familiar with Muslim gangs and the tensions in Bedford and Luton are well known. Like Funzo says, the problem there is one of BNP/White Pride vs young mostly Muslim gangstas. Drug dealing and other illegal activities are a big part of it.

The only solution is to raise your game and stay out of it, and let those who are causing problems either take heed or pay a price. A good friend ought to talk straight about it. Otherwise, in a best case scenario, that price comes at the hands of the law rather than any gang.

There are Muslim gangs in Manchester as well. And there are lots of gangs, not just Muslim.

If someone beat me up, chances are revenge would not cross my mind except at the hands of the police. But nobody's going to beat me up. 😂

Funzo — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 23:09

But what do i do when i see my friend being put in hospital or them trying to insult my religion in the worst way possible.

Your familliar with bedford luton?

Not up close, or at least not relating to any of this. I just know a little about it. But the answer remains the same. You can make things worse or you can make things better. Worse means much worse. Strictly if you or others aren't actively helping your friends to stay out of trouble - and if you can't do that, fair enough - things will continue to slide.

If BNP are doing anything especially awful, you can let the police know, but don't assume they can always crack down, and don't get into the nitty gritty.

Most people, if something awful has happened, would do best to get over it and avoid a repeat.
