WiltonKnight: Someone had made a nice quip when I spoke of "exploding" populations in Europe and said I reminded them of some song. That wasn't a good idea apparently ;) I'm too lazy to quote it. I had said - that I hope such apathy continues.
You're patting yourself on the back after conflating two entirely separate issues.
At first, you were referencing how the "exploding" populations in Europe were going to react to the planned burning of the Koran event in Sweden. That event was to be attended by one person and his interpreter which is why your idea of the threat of an "exploding" minority in Sweden was ridiculed.
You also seemed to be hoping for a violent reaction, not apathy, when you wrote of not getting your hopes up as "Sweden braces for riots in Stockholm". In return, the Springsteen lyric highlighted his hope for sunshine to replace the darkness:
Well, I will provide for you
And I'll stand by your side
You'll need a good companion now
For this part of the ride
Yeah, leave behind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Well, tomorrow there'll be sunshine
And all this darkness past
Well, big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams
Oh, meet me in a land of hope and dreams
Some of us hope for sunlight while others hope for darkness.
But now you're conflating your earlier post, "Please. Please. Just this" of a one-person protest in Sweden with the ongoing violent protests in France sparked by the police shooting of a 17-year-old youth in Paris and declaring how right you were with your "explosion" rhetoric.
But you'll notice the people protesting the police shooting -- footage of the incident captured by a passerby showed two officers standing on the driver's side of the car, one of whom discharged his gun at the driver despite not appearing to face any immediate threat -- are not solely minorities: a wide range of people, although mostly young, some very young, have taken to the streets.
As for your "9/11," "wokeness," "the rich," "the Left," "Trump," and "Bush" word salad, I'll give you another quote, although this one from former president Bush after listening to Trump's inaugural speech, not a song lyric: "That was some weird sh!t".
