Irish Wolf Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I saw this in the news it looked really crazy. When I saw it I was at a bar so I didn't really get a chance to hear what actually went on but it certainly looked bad. But now I'm going to be a word **** and correct the title of this thread. It is a St. Paddy's Day Riot. Patty is the short form of Patricia in Irish Gaelic Patrick is spelled Pádraig and the short form is Paddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan93 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That shoots to hell my theory that Canadians were a bit more civilized than their southern neighbors.

damonster Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 You don't remember the Canucks fans rioting after losing the Stanley Cup last year? or the Toronto G8 riot? Canadians are so nice, but we can throw one hell of a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 or the Toronto G8 riot? Canadians are so nice, but we can throw one hell of a riot. You call that a riot? In Los Angeles they call that a Sunday afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In conclusion, excessive alcohol does not have to mean unpleasantness! Maybe I should clarify-Excessive Alcohol in Large Gatherings. Those two things don't mix well, ever.

You can take half of the people and put them in a different setting with the same drinks, and the day will be different. People use alcohol as a crutch, when it's mostly them trying to be the biggest douchebag they can be to make other people either feel bad, or laugh.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
