apparently big riots broke out in London recently. sounds pretty scary, i'm from philly and never seen anything like that. sure does make me feel lucky xD

not sure what my opinion on this is. i can certainly understand the frustration of poverty though. i wouldn't be one to join these rebels but i wouldn't stand in their way either. some areas get so shitty these people have little choice. still seems like it's only gonna hurt themselves in the long run, not sure if the government would ever care to set up support for these people. it's not easy to do in the first place.

Well lots of people if you include North/South America

Sure, but usually when people speaking English say 'America' they refer to the US, not the whole continent (which I find sad). In that case, well yeah, I'm 'American'.

Nobody ever said anything about just United States of America. o.O

I was surely referring to America as in all the americas.

Hence everyone says they live in U.K., London, etc. Europe parts.

I know you didn't mean it this way, but when an American says something like "everyone says they live in U.K., London…You know, Europe parts", it usually means that they assume the U.K. is all of Europe, and London is a country. =P

They're not fucking rebels. It's just a bunch of chavs that have nothing better to do than to loot and destroy their own neighborhood. Idiots.

Fuckin' right.

But then again, Canada had those ridiculous hockey riots….

lmao, that's just Montreal for the most part. They'll riot to anything.

A fight breaking out in the stands, or especially on the ice, will happen anywhere in Canada…But it very rarely spills out into the street outside of Quebec.

Monteral and Toronto have a rivalry between the two hockey teams, and Montreal takes it waaay too far.

When my friends go to Montreal, they might stop in and see a Leafs vs Canadiens game, and when Toronto scores, nooooo one cheers or makes a fuss about it, or they'll get the shit kicked out of them by the Montrealers. XD

So they murdered a policeman and got a swimming pool, that really justifies the violence I guess…

Theres not really any excuses for murder or looting random people if they think their riot is a good cause. They could have gotten attention without the senseless crap.

Well hey, at least they now know anything like a swimming pool is useless as a solution :P
