People are sometimes rude and violent or misbehave in other ways - that should change

Like the thread title said. People are sometimes rude, or they attack people, sometimes they even commit crimes. That's a problem and it should change.

What can we do to change this, are there campaigns that would help? What are the reasons for people behaving that way?

It depends on the community as to why. Certain communities? Reason is no fathers in sight, and piss poor excuses for criminal activity(I'm poor or someone I know got killed by a cop, time to rob).

The laws surrounding misconduct are fine as they are if not too strict. Other than that; the victims should stop being insecure twats and grow some skin.

I think we can all agree that most of the people that do those things you mentioned in your OP (without providing a proper source to your claims, but I'm going to let it slide) are not rich white conservative American men. So I feel like we should really just only let rich white conservative American men decide whatever it is we do moving forward from here.

"Why are people rude and why do they misbehave?" is a very vague question. Can you be more specific about the rudeness and misbehaving you're referring to, Bardock?

Lol guys I hate to break this to you: this wasn't an attempt at a serious topic. Can't you tell? In another thread he didn't like the fact I was discussing both sides of the problem in a thread about police brutality.

Then suddenly a vague topic of "people are totally bad, what can we do?" popped up.

It's not very subtle, but it is what it is. But you see if certain other members did this..people would without a doubt call them a troll. Or the topic would be closed. Or both.

it's become very fashionable here to play the oppressed and abused victim.

Such truth you speak, far too many mother*ckers in this country actually seek out victim status. It's cool, it's hip, it's the beez kneez.

Can't blame them, I'd love to be able to utterly do no wrong because someone did wrong to me.

Well, it wasn't just not subtle, I literally linked you to this thread so you can discuss your gripes with how people need to change too, not just violent police officers, without derailing threads on police brutality.

It's a thread on the topic you want to discuss in every single thread where a black person being shot or attacked by police is discussed, so why not just do it here?

Which like I said: normally a person would get called a troll, or the topic closed, or temp banned for baiting people.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone banned. I am, however, quite curious what the mods will do, if anything.

i don't think it will be considered a troll thread, particularly because it's not a troll thread.

Ah oh course it isn't a troll thread. Wait, let me guess..it's not a bait thread either, right?

Just a normal thread with no alternate motives in sight.

ok, what part of this topic do you feel was designed to antagonize people (you)?

Just holy shit dude. He more or less admitted he made the topic for me. If you honestly have to ask that question there is literally not a single answer I could give to satisfy you.

I think Bashar is saying you are playing the victim. Which tbh seems fair, I mean bait you into what? Actually discussing the topic you posted 3 links about in other threads?

You think there's an issue in communities that is partly to blame and being the cause of, from disrespectful behaviour to outright criminal behaviour (you don't come quite out and say it, but it seems like you mean black communities in particular, maybe you can clarify). So what can we do to change this? How can we improve the situation.

So yes, I made the topic for you, but not to bait or troll you, but to stop you from derailing other threads AND have the opportunity to discuss a topic you said yourself you care about. Admittedly I am sure this is not a great OP, I don't really make great threads, and I don't understand your point completely, but you could expand on it...

pretty sure you do not understand what "trolling" means.

Surtur, you're off here. I've opened up threads for people after they've posted a possible interesting topic as a means for them to not derail another thread with said interesting topic; it does seem like B42 was doing this here.

This here is an example of a blatant butthurt fueled troll thread: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f11/t619556.html

Bashar himself being a troll it figures he'd say it. But here is the thing, you made some vague topic about this, and that was supposed to be your attempt to open up a "discussion".

I frankly don't buy it.

So I will say this to you again: If I see people in topics acting like something is one sided..I will be there to discuss the other side. Way to solve this is for people to not act that way.
