London Riots!

[Baya]

Yeah. You are right. I'm from a country that you would get shot for wearing shorts on a warm summer day. Let's see the rioters deal with that ...

Canada? (Or are you from another place than in your location thing?)

I don't think people should be saying nasty things about the UK. It was in London and other big cities. Places like where I live were untouched and we ignored it all. The UK is tame compared to other countries and I'm glad! I'm not a fan of when people say "Oh, you've never had it as bad as me, that makes me cooler" Not really.

[Baya]

Not so much the UK, but England. Honestly, there are wars going on, death, disease, suffering and all they can think about is protesting about a cop shooting a known and proven drug dealer who had a weapon on him! They shout "Democracy!" Then break store glasses down, and steal whatever they can. This is ridiculous...

Not really, I actually live in England and I can honestly say we're not all like that. I don't like it when people pick on England (Or Scotland, I'm Scottish without the accent) I don't like to be put in this steriotype of caring nothing for the outside world. I didn't riot and we give so much money to help in other countries and I personally support a horse charity. Only a veeeeeery small number did any looting and most were just "crowd followers"
Not all of us are fox hunting, tea drinking, Nigal Thornberry lookalikes. A lot of people here DO have real problems and need help, but just aren't getting it.

Sorry if I sound rather blunt, I just don't like it when people say stuff about England, that if said about any other country would be considered racist.

And anyway, it's over now and has been for ages.

I didn't mean to generalize Annie, it just irritates me when select groups in democratic countries resort to such awful methods of theft and destruction. Canada has anarchists too, don't get me wrong. They are still complaining about getting their asses beat after setting cop cars on fire, and frankly I don't think there's a place for that sort of Chaos in society.

And I didn't mean to give off the idea that England doesn't help anyone either, all I was pointing out was that there are individuals who just don't know how to control themselves and use the democratic system of a nation to get away, claiming their rights were infringed when in fact they deserve to be shot on the spot for the damage they have done to the economy and public property.

Ah ^^ I get what you mean now. I guess I'm just been poisoned into getting annoyed when people say bad things about England, since my last boyfriend (Chinese) would constantly whine about how much the UK and everything about it sucks and Hong Kong is the best place EVER! Well, he's got his wish now and he's moving back there! Humph!

I think most countries has a minority that makes the rest facepalm and disown them XD

[Baya]

^ Pardon my knowledge, but wasn't Hong Kong a British Colony?

HISTORY OWNED!

[Annie]

Yes XD Untill pretty recently! It really bothered me! It'd be over really silly things too. "Your public transport is too expensive, your swimming pools are awful, the Chinese food here is terrible" After a while, I just wanted to tell him to shut up!!

Back ontopic...I dont' think I have anymore to say XD haha
