Too stupid to riot? If that's the case, I'm thankful for it.

I should've elaborated as there is no real reason to riot in the western world, we're too fat and stupid in the US to care about the world tanking more than holding our breaths til we turn blue and pointing and blaming others.

I always thought the US just riot collectively and then bomb some other country to vent their frustrations.

Afraid I feel like you do...and it really is upsetting...

I have heard statements that there are socioeconomic tensions behind the riots. What do you guy over at the spot think?

Tis interesting to think that Western civilisation primarily acts in two manners when it comes to dissatisfaction these days: utter lethargy or thoroughly inappropriate and misdirected violence.

Fuck it, or fuck em all.

A generation raised on X-Factor and Grand Theft Auto and the concept that you are entitled to anything you want as long as you can get your hands on it. Those 11 years pushing 32" Plasma screen TVs down the road in their BMXs are not protesting Government cuts to vital services.

That should tell you all about what's going on. It's a bunch of dumb kids and adults about to get sprayed with water cannons... and rightfully so. These are not the civil rights protestors of the 1950's and 60's, these are not people making any political statement other than HERPDERP LET'S TAKE THINGS. There may be some uneasiness and socio-economic tension somewhere in this mess, but it certainly doesn't show anything other than primal level might makes right/take the shiny object kind of response.

Despite any social deprivation or Government austerity measures or whatever facade of "principle" that may be applied to this australopithicine behaviour by the perpetrators; it still shows a relatively comfortable, spoiled society.

Try the same thing in Syria and see where you end up.

Da. Or Yemen, or anywhere where riots and protest (despite some of the terrible things that happened like in egypt, despite the justified unrest) are met with bullets, even in peaceful protest.

The more I see, the less I understand... It's frightening to see the complete disconnect. They just don't seem to have any sense of respect for others.

On an unrelated note I have gastro. It is NOT fun.

Fuck computers.

Fuck computers.

I've tried, but always have trouble getting my floppy into the slot....

Wow, just read that Jani Lane from Warrant was found dead tonight: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe ... mID=161881

I wasn't a huge fan, but 47 is way too young to die.

Just as I am in the process of trying to stun one of my inner deamon, the odds may stack against me and it would only make the bastard stronger (or me weaker)... And yeah there's a girl involved, or as I fear it may be developping, maybe not (as she may have moved during my thought process, which is as lame as it get).
I'm trying to make myself a bit less of a loser and a bit more of a winner, but I fear the transition may be rough.
Shit, give me a fucking break, I could do with just a bit of happiness from time to time.

It's been over a week since Soundwave was cancelled. I'd like my money back now, please.

Agreed. I want my money back and my Devin Townsend back . The latter of which I think will come back here, fingers crossed.
