British PM David Cameron Analyzes the Downfall of Civilizations Throughout History

British Prime Minister David Cameron addressed his nation in the wake of severe rioting. He promised to deploy more police to stop the rioting and pointed to moral decay in Britain as the chief cause of the riots. "Irresponsibility. Selfishness. Behaving as if your choices have no consequences. Children without fathers. Schools without discipline. Reward without effort. Crime without punishment. Rights without responsibilities. Communities without control. Some of the worst aspects of human nature tolerated, indulged - sometimes even incentivised - by a state and its agencies that in parts have become literally de-moralised." Promising to end the unrest, Cameron went on to describe the downfall of other civilizations that could serve as a warning for Britain.
