I find it funny, they banned that one guy ... who was it? Oh, Michel savage. anyways, they banned him to prevent violence and this happens anyways. Looks like someone made a lapse in judgment, you cannot control peoples lives, this is what happens.
sorry if I took this off topic, I just wanted to put in my 2 cents.

I wish I could find the older games that his theory is based on. I mean, people only riot because of video games...logically that must mean that they had video games long before the birth of Christ...and they must have been a lot better than the games of today; the UK riot was nothing by roman standards.

Uh... I would assume super skunk would give you a bad case of the munchies, possible couch lock, and giggle fits maybe?
Wasn't this guy a rock star at some point shouldn't he know which drugs have the potential to make someone violent? Alcohol is number 1 just because of its overwhelming prevalence through out the world then you have coke, crack, and meth (dope to because a junkie will do just about anything for a fix eventually)
Pot heads are lazy not violent, somehow I just can't see a pot head mugging an old lady to score another bag.

i was a pothead at one stage and may have been involved in robbing a potato chip factory and a primary school canteen at night due to the munchies.i thought it was drugs that cause oasis to split up.
maybe the riots happened because parents arnt allow to smack there kids or because the youth have too much freedom. I saw a couple of teenage girls talking about the riots with a reporter on the news and they didnt seem to care they were stealing and they didnt have respect for other peoples property.they were also underage and drinking alcohol which they had stolen at 10am in the morning.

But apart from video game riots, what did the Romans ever do for us?

You're really not too bright when it comes to classic film quotes, are you? Either that or you've had a total sense of humour bypass.
We once had a empire and it was led by an emperor then we had a kingdom which was led by a king. Now we have a country.

Wasn't him and his brother bad influences on the younger generation. Liam the dirty B***tard use to spit at people from the stage so isn't it down to the likes of these people to be good role models!
