I've known kids who grew up dirt poor, lived in community housing, and went through hell and back still be set on a straight path compared to some of these guys selling drugs who grew up with damn near anything they wanted with a supportive family structure. It's wild to me. 

I hear that!

The Lower Mainland gang violence disproportionately involves (Canadian-born) Punjabis. Most of the gangland killings involve Punjabis killing other Punjabis. The police considers them mostly low-level guys who can’t control themselves, unlike the sophisticated Asian and Biker gangs that work silently but control most of the networks. It’s saddening to see another dead young brown kid every second week.

It has nothing to do with bullying or racism, or other any economic reasons. They come from our typical well-off Punjabi households with immigrant parents who have worked hard to realize the western dream, but not worked hard on giving some authentic life values to the kids. Only value is money, not even education. Compared to other diaspora commounitues in the US and UK, Lower Mainland/BC kids are under-achievers academically. If you’ve been through the post-secondary education system here, it’s clear that our community’s kids lag far behind. The community simply doesn’t value or push their kids enough. Instead, the kids are spoiled growing up with an all-expense-paid upbringing with no clear motivation to accomplish anything in life, except for “making money”.   

In a nuthshell, we are so well off on the West Coast here in BC that we simply don’t know what to do with it. The downfall of the Sikh Raj analogy shows some parallels.

Perfect explanation.

I think not being 'cultured' might play a big part. At the risk of sounding like a poncey twat; not being able to appreciate things in life like art, literature, creativity or even nature or other intellect developing things, but just having a life that resolves around status, trophies and power in an extreme way of ego fueling, how are you not going to get twisted? Then throw in the hard gear that these people not only sell, but I'm sure they sniff up too - at these young ages......when I see it like that - what we're talking about seems almost text book predictable?

Thanks Canada. Now the US can finally answer those gun control supporters everytime a mass shooting happens in the US. 

Canada has strict gun control laws i bet...

Like the NRA says banning guns is only going to stop the good guys from having any not the gangsters. 

Canada's gun laws are very strict. They recently banned ARs. We don't even have stand your ground laws either.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
