Thread Name: Is this how Londoners care for each other?
Subject: RE: Is this how Londoners care for each other?
Yes, Gulliver, that is that point, isn't it? Instead of demonizing and alienating one another, we need to reach out and understand what is common. The young women that had such a bad experience in NYC likely could have encountered the same thing elsewhere. It was a problem of a large city. It could have happened in Dublin, London, Paris, Chicago, Tokyo, or any number of other cities. I don't, for one minute, believe this event says anything about London, England, Great Britain, or any other country and its inhabitants per se. What it does say is the same thing the NYC event says. We need, all of us, to be more vigilant and caring for one another.
