Anybody else feeling that these riots have gone on far long enough?
I mean c'mon you how scary it must be to live over there now.
Its been over TWO weeks of riots. This aint cool...

Not sure how its going to end though... other than just die out.

They deserve it for having their head in a the sand.

Yeah, this is the payment for being liberal. At least France is deporting those who they suspect was involved in riots.
Where are the chinese, mexican or russian rioters?
Why aren't they setting fire to cars or schools ?
Could it be because they are too busy working, or at school, getting degrees to become respectful citizens? They are becoming sucessfull citizens yet managing to retain their culture and customs ...
Some immigrants can be a pride for their new country, but others....

what do you expect from years of double digit unemployment and zero economic growth?

I'd like to hear Left WIng Julian's thoughts on it, or maybe he's out burning schools like the others.

I was just gonna say, I figure this stuff would be right up his alley.

I wonder what a burned out touring looks like.

These riots, much like the mess that occured in the wake of Katrina in New Orleans have a pretty obvious causality, but if you point it out, you're a bad person.

That being said, I think the shitstorm against muslims in Europe has yet to even begin.

Exactly my thoughts. The U.S. boycotting frances products has certainly been working. What I thought was funnier is in my newspaper there was an article about a couple million dollars in french wine that was bought because their nations wine sales were so low. What was it bought for? The making of methanol. Maybe one day they will wake up...Not!
(Not sure if that is even possible but sure is funny.)

i dont personally have that much against the french but there are some serious socio/political issues that drag on there that need to be corrected. For the sake of the people that aren't causing all the shit over there.
