Don't look down your nose too long. You'll go cross-eyed.

The riots in LA and Europe have a lot more in common that you think: a permanent underclass suffering high unemployment, social alienation and endemic racism. Having rejected the harsh "Anglo-Saxon" economic/social model for decades, why are these riots happening in kinder, gentler Europe now?

Try to look for root causes and real answers, rather than just keeping death scores. This isn't a video game. And I thought the "Well, at least we're not as bad as X" defence was something the liberal/left-leaning side of this board found contemptuous.
