Gotta hand it to the chavs, I never knew they were so socially aware and active in their communities. But clearly they are out to make the world a better place with their protests.
It's about time someone took town that oppressive, facist outfit, Allied Carpets. |

That's not so funny Marlin1894, that was people's homes in the flats above that carpet shop that were completely destroyed.

I know it. None of it is funny. Or excusable. But apparently a lot of people think it is.

For some of us, when something bad happens that we can't make sense of, making humor from the nonsense is how we deal with it.

I think the rioters are pathetic, absurd, and ridiculous. So am I, but at least I'm not hurting anyone.
And I'm not buying any of the excuses people are making for them. They are doing it because they want to, they think they are entitled to, and because they are having fun doing it. |

I love how everyone blames something or other. Its high tax rises, its public sector custs, its the VAT rise. It is all a load of pony. Duggan was carrying a live unlicensed gun in public and in plain view. True it is awful that he was fataly shot but you have to ask the question why he was carrying this illegal firearm but as someone else said this was just the spark.
The other riots throughout the UK are nothing but opporutnity knocks. These people are just exploiting a tragic situation and using the way the country is ran as an excuse. This is nothing but thug rule. Typical I want it I can't have so I will rob it. Digusted to be an Englishman at the moment. |

On a serious note. What are the chances this rioting thing spreads into Ireland, France, Beligum, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece, etc. Are these countries have problems just like everyone else does. Some worse than others. How ugly could this get?

There has been extensive rioting throughout Europe in the last six months over the widespread austerity cuts. Yes there has been some but it's not quite the same as what's hapening in this case. They has been a lot or rioting in the Middle East as well. I don't think either this situation or the Middle East had to do with austerity cuts. And by the way, people better get used to austerity cuts all over the place. |

I don't think it will be all that bad. They will only kill about five billion of us.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I could have missed it so I'll keep waiting for your quotes from the lots of people who think what's happening in the UK is funny or excusable as you said.

Apparently Muslims are being targeted with violence now.
The news showed a Muslim kid get beaten and then have his stuff stolen by some scumbags pretending to help him. There really is no excuse for that sort of pathetic crap.
