(1589) What's this?Hmmm... I thought it might inspire me to do some artwork but I am so ashamed I just kinda wanna forget that these people exist. I know there's a pretty well made photoshop thread of rioters in unlikely situations.

(4600) What's this?Yeah I feel the same: embarrassed
to be human sometimes. Saying that,
when I was a kid I was pretty poor,
well actually very poor, and if I
had known I could have got away
with getting a free computer game
or something I can't honestly say I
wouldn't have done it. Sad to
admit, and I certainly wouldn't do
anything like that now, but things
have changed for me as I am no
longer starving and lacking basic
clothing.
What gets me is people think this
is some political thing. These
people are just poor and
opportunistic. I guess you could
blame society and governments for
the divide in wealth, but short of
having a communist regime things
are sadly always going to be that
way.
Oh well!

(644) What's this?I was shocked to see what had
happened over there. Not so much
that it "happened" but with
everything going on in the world
currently I guess I assumed it
would happen in the US first.
I am not a journalist but if I was
close I might of had to shoot a
little for my own collection.
