More rioting on the left coast

[redrumloa]

Sports or politics? I'll put it in politics, since it is the left coast and LA to be more specific.

This should have gone into the sports forum. What should be in the politics forum is why there aren't any riots due to all the high level corruption that lead up to the economic collapse. Say what you like about Greeks, but they at least know when to party and when to riot.

Yeah well, I'm taking a jab at the liberals since it seems to piss Fluffy off so bad. I've had a bad day, seeing him explode may cheer me up :wink:

You don't see conservatives in red states burning down their own city because their team WON a sporting event.

No, that's not what pisses me off. Taking a jab at conservatives who happen to be doing something you don't like and then calling them liberals without any basis in fact is what pisses me off. That and you not knowing what it means anyway.

What is it that makes you think the rioters are 'liberals' as opposed to 'conservatives'?

Actually, come to think of it, what do you even mean when you say 'liberal' or 'conservative'?
Anyone in California?

They're another two of those words, like 'socialism', that seem to mean something completely different to some people.

Ahhh... should've read the whole thread before posting.

Although I tried to give the benefit of the doubt and put it a little more diplomatically.

It's always great fun to watch liberals squirm when they accuse other liberals of being conservatives, because they think the other liberal is not liberal enough.
:roflmao:

It's always great fun to watch ignoramuses display their ignorance too. ;-)

@Fade - that's a parody. It doesn't serve well as a definition.

And you don't see the irony in what you just said?

It rather plays against the stereotype, doncha think. Are the "Li berals" the ones that are supposed to be at book meetings discussing literature or going to the theatre/opera/ballet after a nice Chablis and foie gras. It's the rowdy redneck types who are all about the sports.
