Sad story out of Boston
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playof...ory?id=1906735
What are people in that town going to do if they win the World Series? Can someone explain the sense in rioting to me?

I'll never understand how a joyous occasion leads to setting stuff on fire.
Get really drunk. -AA

Re: Sad story out of Boston
I'm not in favor of anyone getting hurt, but a little destruction of property just shows you care.
And by the way, no, I've never rioted, nor will I ever. I'm just saying the whole idea makes me smile.

Re: Sad story out of Boston
Am I supposed to get emotionally involved every time a stranger dies? I'm sorry, but I just don't have that in me. I don't think it makes me a terrible person.
Yes, on an individual level, it's a tragedy when someone dies. It's a terrible thing for that person's friends and family. But so many people die every day, every hour, every minute...this woman's death made the news, but that doesn't make it any more significant than the thousands of other deaths that occurred the same day, and it doesn't make me care about her any more than some other random stranger who flew through a windshield in Idaho.

Re: Sad story out of Boston
Destruction of your own property would show hometown loyalty, I guess.
Destruction of other peoples' property shows that you don't care about anyone.
