"About 50 youths descended on Bellecour Square...The brazen attack frightened shoppers and local business people, who quickly closed their enterprises"

Um, 50 teenagers? Pull out a shotgun and shoot them in the butt. Jeez.

During the riots in LA, the Koreans lined up the guns and protected their property - ya gotta respect that. It's pretty hard to respect somebody that folds up and hides away.

Remember the French ridicule and French commentary on "American racism" after Katrina?

LOL...appears that 'sowing and reaping' teaching in the scripture is moving along at record speed. In the past, reaping what we've sown took yrs if not decades now it's happening at record speed.... ;o)

Something sort of puzzles me - how come we only see pictures of the CARS burning, and not the extensive damage done to all the public and privately owned real estate? Not just Paris, but apparently in MANY cities major and minor throughout the provinces.

With all the car fires, the entire fleet of automobiles in Frence has to be down to about two R-5s and a Peugot. I understand their owners are protecting them fiercely, shaking their fists threateningly at the advancing Muslim hordes.

The muzzie-enabling media refuses to show the remains of the churches and nursery schools that were burned to the ground by these french "youths."

Click the picture:

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.


Then, correlate with some of our own problems:

Grrrrr! Now that makes me mad. The only thing that would make this better is if they have to come crawling to us for help. Which I would refuse them, after securing their nukes.

Do you request others to shut up while speaking up yourself at every possible occasion?
- Do you ask others to respect agreements while systematically flaunting them yourself?
- Do you think Hitler was bad but Napoleon was good?
- Do you think De Gaulle liberated France?
- Do you vote for corrupt thieves and/or liars?
- Are you proud when companies from your country buy businesses abroad but you are opposed to the sale of your national companies to foreigners?
- Do you think a nation with a GDP 4 times less than yours should financially contribute more to the EU than your own country?
- Have you ever heard of Jacques Attali?
- Do you think 2 weeks of rioting and thousands of cars burnt, not mentioning schools etc., constitute "some isolated incidents"?
- Do you call Iraq an invasion and Ivory Coast a peacekeeping mission?
- Do you think healthcare and education are free because you never received a detailed bill with those items on them?
- Do you think Chirac and Sarkozy are right-wing politicians?
- Can you name two people who made poetry about seagulls?
- Do you think the UN should have more power and responsibilities?
- Do you approve of a commission deciding what words you may use and which ones should be excluded from your language?
- Do you think mimolette is a Dutch cheese?
- Is Total-Elf just a normal oil company in your opinion?
- Is Strasbourg the capital of the EU?
- Did Lance Armstrong dope himself?

If you answered "yes" to one question, you are possibly French.
If you answered "yes" to two questions, you are probably French.
If you answered "yes" to three questions or more, you are almost certainly French.

No balls.

No death penalty.

No country.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch! I guess selling weapons to Islamofascists to appease them (and hence, get "eaten" last) didn't work out too well, did it? LOL!

THE French have had enough of the riots that are sullying their international reputation as the land of civility, as well as liberty, equality and fraternity.

Well, at least there is a pretty good mustard named after them.

If they had put as much emphasis on enforcing the laws of liberty, they wouldn't be the laughingstock of the civilized world.

It seems they believe in having a police force, but not using it. Ditto: military.

I should like to see France get her bearings.
