Hi mazzyianne,
I think alcoholism is a disease. I think you may even be born with a greater or lesser capacity to become an alcoholic. Off course whether that develops is partly due the society you’re born into yeah, that’s stating the obvious really.
I think all people in all walks of life have the capacity for violence to a lesser or greater extent.
How these things develop manifest interact...well its a rich tapestry...social, hereditary, cultural..loads of factors.
This is complex stuff. I suppose we’re way off the point of the riots at this stage.
Some people are not nice..some people are violent..to deny this seems to be crazy.

mazzyianne said:Mr T, Do you really think that social problems like alchoholism and violence have nothing to do with class or the structure of society? That's it's totally up to the individual?
More working class people than middle class die of heart disease, cancer and stress related illness. Poverty is stressful.
How much do people think society, education, family life impact on how we behave? Coz I think it has a pretty massive impact.
Lala it's easy to say class schmass but in fact there is inequality in Ireland still and in every country. No matter what you call it there are always some people who have a leg up and some who are born with disadvantages.
The whole 'some people are just natually thugs' shit is a total cop-out and seanc you are still sprouting that shit and you're sober. (also it was not me who de-repped you as I do go to ucd so that would have been silly)
