    What are they rioting about? Hopefully a national dental plan.

    Some guy got shot by the cops, and now it's turned into a riot against the "rich".

    True sarcasm doesn't need green fonts, but it does need quotes.

    Cops should put a bullet into a couple of their heads, and the riots would end quickly. Fuck them and their excuse to steal and vandalize.

    I was about to say wrong thread, but then I thought about it and realized this applies everywhere people don't want to take responsibility. :D

    Now that some dissatisfied people are trying to overthrow Britain, why doesn't Khadaffi have his diplomats go around to European capitals, form an alliance, and get a humanitarian bombing war started?

    The humanitarian war would merely protect the dissatisfied British while they overthrow the government that the dissatisfied hate because they're jailbirds. The purpose wouldn't be to take over Britain's riches, of course.

    We will know just how unpopular the government is by how long it will take our vastly superior technology to "persuade" the majority to overthow it.

    France and Britain, as you recall, are the main two protagonists in the Libyan war.

    I also read, the cost cuts on public services are also the cause of the riots.

    I think it's the culmination of frustration of a society trying to be a socialist state on a capitalistic means of paying for it. The unemployment, high taxation, big government intervention....... eventually people can't take it anymore.

    I think it's all of those except the first. There's no way they're really motivated by a series of police murders. They're faking. Everyone loves living in a police state.

    This is why it is ridiculous to think that a large government program, like Obamacare, can be reduced or removed in the future... even though it is a fiscal blackhole.
