Usually I see jokes about the media making your point while standing in front of a burning building. The self awareness is lacking. Now it gets brought up as a counterpoint, or to point out double standards.
This thread is a great example. You drug the conversation away from the truckers because you had no argument. You then changed the argument to one of violence, they are Canadians there is none, and then you get upset when the riots get brought up?
If you dont want the riots to come up, dont change the topic and avoid the subject at hand. Plenty of posters including McDad have noted your propensity to derail threads away from certain topics.
