Yeah.  I saw they attacked the Prince.  They know he doesn't set tuition fees right?

It feels like some people in europe just like a good riot. 

You know what happens when tuition fees and stuff like that happens in the US?   A walkout.   Everyone in the school just leaves the school in protest and does something else... or at best holds up a few signs and walks away.

And how did that work out for you?

And we did have walkouts, sit-ins and a march. Most of the volient ones probably weren't student anyway, just young thugs needing an excuse to break stuff. You almost seem proud your people don't protest against your government...

Pretty well actually.  Though the last thing I saw was cuts to the univercities by the state rather then tuition increases.

Your ignoring the point... we do protest.  We just don't find it a good idea to bust peoples heads in at the time.
