I really struggle to understand some peoples' way of thinking sometimes. They see one news item and then pass an inane comment about it, without engaging the brain and looking into the overall picture of it or checking out any of the background.

Liverpool was chosen to be the European Capital of Culture in 2008. This is a prestigious award and will draw an estimated extra 2m visitors to the city and will create about 14,000 new jobs. Liverpool has always been one of the major cities trying to stamp out racism, so obviously, racist graffiti so callously daubed so shortly near the scene after an horrific racist murder will be treated seriously. Even without the city preparing for 2008, it should still be treated seriously, as it's plainly clear that there could still be racist groups and who knows, commit another mindless murder.

If you have kids 'diamonds' or have any in the future, there's cause for concern to how you are/will be raising them with the attitude you seem to have.
