18. Apparently it is because of the violence
Protests in Europe become extremely violent at times. These people will start a full-blown riot over a World Cup match.

I am all for free speech. But I don't support the use of violence in protesting a war. That is the king of hypocrisy right there.

We bash the government for using murder to prove that murder is wrong. Yet we go out into the streets and use violence to try to convince the government that war is wrong. It just doesn't work.
