British Teens the Worst Behaved in Europe

[Tory]

I've never understood the libertarian belief that man is inherently good. My libertarian-esque beliefs have always come from a belief that man is naturally bad and therefore I don't want to be ruled by them, nor do I put my trust in them to handle the running of large parts of my life.

I have to agree with Bono on this one. A lack of religiousity in Europe accounts for a good deal of its ills. No, I'm not saying this is the wrath of God. This is just a product of a society where he isn't represented. The religious groups in the UK and most of Europe arent fufilling their job in being zealous for their faith. Their insistence on tolerance and a watering down of everything Christian has created a moral vacum. Britain hasn't been religious for a long time, but it's never been so anti-religion. My entire family has had a lot of problems dealing with this. My brother got so upset at what he saw in the world that he couldn't take it and became a pretty conservative Muslim. I've bounced around from religion to religion without finding any real substance in the Christian churches I've attended(although I'm attending an LDS church now with my wife and finding it to be of my liking as far as the views and general atmosphere go).

But if yourself, your brother and Bono have chosen to attend churches or adhere to faiths that suit your own views, don't decry those who choose to attend liberal churches or indeed none at all if it suits their views or their perceived wellbeing.

If people have collectively chosen to distance themselves from orthodoxy or religion completely then that is their choice,

No doubt it's their choice, but just as they have the right to decry orthodoxy and religion(and they do, to annoying extremes), I have the right to decry the ridiculousness of modern European religion and post-60's human-centric thought.
