It just makes you wonder what socity will put up with or be un-fazed by If putting bets on what city is going to roit next, has become accptable.

Its strange to see what different cultures find acceptable,

When i was last in New York, i got my first taste of actual US TV advertising - Viagra adds between children's cartoons and 9/11 memorabilia being advertised during breaks in Die Hard!!!
I thought this was a completely nuts & I didn't know whether to laugh or shudder

I'd put a couple of shillings on Paris if I were you.

Definitely, French culture makes the people quite touchy, when issues are raised by people in the high rise suburbs around Paris, they can quickly become a mob mentality - probably because the French Government doesn't give two #s about them. There have been a number of riots in Paris over the last few years.

well im irish and to tell the truth i wouldnt mind a nice riot now. but in truth a riot for what. is it to get rid of the government or what. who would run the country without the government. it wouldnt work and people know this so it wont happen. dont get me wrong. im not a fan of the government in any way. but in my opinion the only way to beat the govenment is to join them and rise in rank. that way at least it will be you who is corrupting the nation and you might even get a little more information on your favourite little conspiracies depending on the government your joining and rank!!!!any money bet with paddy powers would be a waist unless were going rioting just because we have an excuse which could well happen.

i didnt really come to a conclusion lol. i wouldnt have mind a riot tho. inothing better than a nice big news event!!!!

I cannot find this bet on the paddypower website, a little help please am i even looking in the right place

yup people sure did, the puts increased some 10,000% on the airlines the week leading up to it, (they must have had some good psychics) then they put a gag order on the the issue (the kibbash)

that is a pretty cool website, maybe i can take some of my conspiracy knowledge and try to make a $

do they have odd's on the next public tazing, i go in on it with ya, and we'll flip a coin to see who takes the voltage

p.s cool they also have a financial section in the works where i could bet

and there are 20-1 odds that the U.S election will be delayed or cancelled

and 10-1 that Sara palin will step down as VP candidate interesting stuff
