fwise3 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I was thinking about the London riots and how horrible it was when I thought to myself, "I wonder if Coldplay could stop this madness?" What if the boys pulled a Beatles and did this: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT6325bmcsQ]Beatles Rooftop Concert - 1/3 - YouTube[/ame] Personally, I think Life in Technicolor ii would be perfect for this. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXSovfzyx28]Coldplay - Life In Technicolor ii - YouTube[/ame] Just a thought. Could be the stupidest idea ever :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Um...yeah If they'd got on a roof in the middle of those riots and started singing Life In Technicolor they would've been pelted with rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If Coldplay did that, I'm sure the rioters would just tell the band to STFU and cry a wa wa wa wa waterfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IloveChris Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Um...yeah If they'd got on a roof in the middle of those riots and started singing Life In Technicolor they would've been pelted with rocks. Yeah, I don't think those rioters are people who listen to Coldplay, they probably think they're "gay" or whatever. :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinFan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If they were gonna sing from the rooftops.... they need to sing this verse :lol: Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know?

JackZ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 First of all, why the heck would it spread to the US? Secondly, this is a hilarious tumblr of people photoshopping the riots Its So funny! :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started in Egypt, then Syria, then the UK, well its just a thought :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Oooo, I thought you meant that the London riots would spread here as opposed to just riots in general. As if we would riot at the same time because the UK are doing it. Anyway, Egypt and Syria were revolting with a rightous cause. The UK rioters are low-life criminals without a cause. That one criminal being wrongfully killed by police is no reason to destroy your own city and rob/attack people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Timewarp Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yah, but i see where your coming from. I think our riot might be over our retarded economy and how thats being "fucked up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 There probably would've been rioting if we failed to raide the debt ceiling last week. And I don't think rioting would work here for very long. If it got as bad as the UK riots, I doubt the US would have any problem allowing rubber bullets to be fired and the use of hosing down the rioters.

chuck kottke Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yes, and I was initially fooled into thinking that at least some of it was for a higher purpose - how wrong I was! But I agree - when people are economically disadvantaged and tempted by all the good they can't afford, some who haven't any scruples will try anything to get away with it. Criminal gangs roaming around are a sure sign of trouble, somehow that problem got overlooked! How did it? Are the Ivory Tower residents out of touch that much?

TraceOddity Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 If Coldplay did that, I'm sure the rioters would just tell the band to STFU and cry a wa wa wa wa waterfall. Yup. I agree with whoever said 'post of the year'! :lol: I'm sure some of the rioters do listen to Coldplay. When that mob mentality takes hold, even good people can do bad things. Psychologically speaking, the same euphoria that has us all chanting 'Viva, Viva' for Coldplay moved the French to chant 'Viva La Revolution!'. I'm just glad it's settling down, and I hope those I love there aresafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I highly doubt that. LA riots when their teams lose...and when their teams win! If we would've defaulted on our loans, people would've been pissed. Eh screw it, your right. I heard that somewhere and believed it. But I cant actually see that happening...although I couldn't have seen the UK riots coming either. People just riot for no reason, its unpredictable.
