Why didn't you say so in the first place?
Because nobody said that the motivations were the same. So we are all in agreement on that point, I think.
As to the analogy that Knot actually was making, I will let her try to explain it to you. I wish her luck. Personally, I don't think that you are capable of understanding it.

And I pointed out another couple of riot situations by white people...and now you act like you don't understand what I'm saying. Yeah sure. You didn't know what you were talking about from the beginning. I thought you had me on ignore anyway. What a lying sack.
| Not acting. When you answer "premises" that exist only in your own head, it tends to be confusing. And I am sure that I am not the only one who finds that to be the case.
What did I lie about. Having you on ignore. Pssst! You can go on ignore. You can come off ignore. On... Of... It is a wonderful system!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, thinking you'll get a different result. I am not insane. | |

Remember Jesus' first miracle was to turn water into wine so presumably He wasn't totally opposed to the consumption of alcohol!
It's completely hypocritical the way Saudis flood in Bahrain at the weekend, (across a 15 mile causeway that they funded) so they can drink themselves rotten before driving home and acting all pious.

How many times did Tiger Woods hit a golf ball before he became the world's best golfer?
Ditto Federer in tennis.
How many times did Segovia pick up a guitar before he became a concert classical guitarist?
Walt Disney went bankrupt before he became a multi billionaire.
Are all the world's greatest achievers insane?
Some things require a lot of practice and repetition.
So there
