GuestAllan,
I don’t think you were dead wrong – the welfare state has a little bit to do with it. Even the rich kids that are doing it for a thrill are influenced by the arguments for the welfare state. I think they even empathise with it in a strange way. Like the fact that that the biggest consumers of rap music are middle-class white boys – they want to be relate to something cool. Aspiring to be like your middle-class parents just isn’t that exciting, and so they romanticise the “street life.”
But now here I go reading deeper meaning into things…

Yeah, it was because of rap music – which, I think, today, is a perverse reflection of the hyper-acquisitive nature of the materialistic culture we live in.
But, please explain how it is about the arguments for the welfare state.

ParticipantI was talking about a local riot w my kids and the prospect of looting at the mall. We all agreed there was basically nothing we wanted there, even for free.
