    Default Rioting over hockey?

    We in Southern California resent the fact that people in Vancouver would riot over something as insignificant as a hockey game.
    I mean, what's next? Unrest because Tim Horton's ran out chocolate filled? Get some priorities, people!
    Dang Canadians always find a way to puck things up.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Mexifornia is a shithole other than a few very small areas. But who the fuck would want to live there and be surrounded scum on one side and illegals on the other?

    This brings to mind a post someone wrote not to long ago.
    I just ignored it but somebody was saying something about black or Mexican bikers coming to town?
    And called them animals or something like that. just a throw away racist statement. Like i said I just rolled my eyes and skipped to another thread.
    This post just makes me wonder what these Canadians are? Are they animals or can we agree that human beings do stupid stuff regardless of their group?
    just wondering?

    Probably won't make a dent an some people thinking, but just came to mind.

    The Canadians aren't too bad. They banned bill ayers from going into Canada to give a speech.

    A riot following a sporting event, imagine that. Ever hear of Soccer in Europe.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
