&gt; Of course you have to resort to calling names when you can&#x27;t make a good argument, who&#x27;s really the child here?<p>I didn&#x27;t call you a child.  It was a metaphor suggesting you&#x27;re being shortsighted and entitled without understanding that the things you want don&#x27;t just magically appear.  A child just wants ice cream, they have ice cream at Johnny&#x27;s house so why can&#x27;t he have ice cream at home?  The child stomps their feet and says &quot;It&#x27;s not fair!&quot;  An adult grows out of this mindset.<p>&gt; In many countries you can disrupt traffic because of a protest without the need for a permit. Now you have your one thing. I&#x27;m guessing you&#x27;re now going to tell me how it doesn&#x27;t matter?<p>That&#x27;s great - which countries?  They don&#x27;t get arrested for it over there?  You&#x27;re sure you&#x27;re not idealizing them because it supports your feeling of outrage?<p>That&#x27;s the one concrete thing you&#x27;re upset about and it&#x27;s ridiculous.  Other than that you&#x27;re upset Americans don&#x27;t just blindly go support protesters because they&#x27;re protesting.  Key word there is &#x27;blindly.&#x27;  That&#x27;s the protesters fault for not knowing why they&#x27;re there, not being able to express themselves clearly, and frankly for being so idiotic so much the time.  Protesters have trained us that protesters are idiots.<p>I looked up the Quebec protests you linked - that&#x27;s the point right, to raise awareness for an issue? - and it looks like a temper tantrum that happened to work.
