(Now, can anyone think of what else the cause/effect principles conveyed in the article could be applied to? hmmmm.)


'Drink to Blame for UK Yob Culture'

Britain is seen as having the biggest problem with anti-social behaviour among a group of European countries, new research reveals.
The survey also revealed that two-thirds of Britons thought drinking was a key contributor to the problem.
Researchers said it was a "wake-up call" and that increased access to alcohol could not be the answer.
The survey found 76 per cent questioned in France, Germany, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain believed Britain had a "big or moderate problem" with anti-social behaviour, followed by France (75 per cent) and Germany (61 per cent).
In Britain, 95 per cent agreed it was a "big or moderate problem" here, according to the survey by security firm ADT and the Jill Dando Institute of Crime, based at University College London.
Professor Gloria Laycock of the Jill Dando Institute said: "This research is a wake-up call.
"We know anti-social behaviour is a major issue in Great Britain - and the rest of Europe clearly agrees.
"The study shows people believe it is fuelled by the excessive consumption of alcohol.
"Increasing our access to alcohol cannot be the answer and it is time that the Government addressed perceptions of this problem."
Across Europe the top three concerns about behaviour were vandalism (70 per cent), rowdy behaviour (59 per cent) and disrespectful behaviour (58 per cent).

I guess what makes them drink is the same thing that makes men use porn. Makes them feel good for awhile. Who da fuck knows for sure?

The point I was trying to make is the principle is the same. If they can say that drinking causes this (doesn't matter why they drink-it's not the point really), then porn must have an even greater cause and effect connection.
