So that would be "liberalising" the economy then?

Turning the area one lives in into a bigger shithouse than it already is, is not exactly productive.
Sometimes even peaceful protest turns into a riot, not because of the behaviour of the participants, but because of the way in which the event is portrayed in the media.Originally Posted by tobyjug
Are you seriously suggesting the media or the French government has set fire to nearly 900 cars to make a protest look like a riot?Originally Posted by _pH_
No, you dick. I was pointing out that when you said you would join a protest but not a riot, you may not actually have any control over the description used.Originally Posted by tobyjug

When the demonstrators start damaging other people's property or when they try to fight with the police.Originally Posted by spring-peeper
May be it does not work because those who try to demonstrate do not have the right for what they actually ask for and are not supported by the majority of the people? Like for example I don't think rioting paedophiles would have right to have sex with children, whatever they think about it.
Sometimes demonstrating just doesn't work
Where did I write I would join a protest?Originally Posted by _pH_

And are you going to go around reminding people not to bother posting,unless they write long posts or is this a different?
Anyways.
Fighting with the man, is one thing, buring up old ladys on crutches is anouther.
Thats just to cowardly for words.
Happy now?

Night #10
sourceLast night five classrooms at the Sleeping Beauty Nursery School in Grigny, in the Essonne region south of Paris, went up in flames as well as two classrooms at another school.
In a measure of public dissatisfaction with the government, Yvan Lemaitre, the parent of one of the pupils at the Sleeping Beauty school, told French radio: 'Burning a school is unacceptable but the man who lit the fire is Sarkozy.'
By 1am this morning, at least 607 vehicles were burned - 13 of them inside Paris. The overall figures were expected to climb by daybreak.

C'est ca; and that's your actual French.
It was the same in Belgium. I was working just outside Brussels in the run up to the war, every friday afternoon I'd be in a cab rushing to get the Eurostar and every friday there'd be this big fucking riot police scene (outside the US embassy) in the way.Originally Posted by where to

What the hell is going on in France?
Bomb factory found?
"Police also found a gasoline bomb-making factory in a derelict building in Evry south of Paris, with more than 100 bottles ready to turned into bombs, another 50 already prepared, as well as fuel stocks and hoods for hiding rioters’ faces, senior Justice Ministry official Jean-Marie Huet told The Associated Press"
"The discovery Saturday night, he said, shows that gasoline bombs “are not being improvised by kids in their bathrooms.”

questions questions!
The etnic makeup on the people running around in France is a touchy subject. I was in France one time right after 2001, just did the normal sights in Paris, normal tourist stuff. Never felt any tension. Some of you have been there many times i'm sure and know the country well.
Was this something expected? Is the media portrying these groups as mostly Muslim? Or is it a mix of more Africans and Muslims, other immigrants etc...
Geeze. All American all the time indeed.Originally Posted by Bernie Gunther
