Burning cars is just the kind of job creation program France needs.

Does just the smell of soap make your eyes water?

France should recognized they are hated both by America and within Europe for such a hypocratic mentality. They should also know they are being hit back for what they have done with their media making fun of others.

Do the women in your society cringe at the sight of a Lady Schick razor?

Napoleon wasn't a right winger. He was a dictator, the inspiration for Hitler and Stalin, and he should have been torn limb from limb by Spanish partisans.

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.

The following pictures and snippets were gleaned just from my own FR posts last week, out of dozens and dozens of additional reports I could have chosen from various press websites...

The one below is inside a Kindergarten...

The one below is one from inside a police station after arson in Evreux...

And this last one is a school at Bruay sur Escaut, near Valenciennes...

Some other press reports...

Saint-Etienne: Arsonists destroy two schools and a bus on 6-7 November

Aulnay-sous-Bois: Shops set ablaze

Bordeaux: Employment agency office hit by a petrol bomb on 7-8 November

This night the Protestant church of Meulan (78) underwent a terrorist attack. The roof is completely devastated. I do not know if the interior is completely destroyed or not.

A gymnasium was set on fire in the Paris suburb of Noisy Le Grand, early November 6, 2005

Firefighters extinguished a fire at a kindergarden Sunday night in Lille. Youths fired at police and hurled flaming Molotov cocktails at churches, schools, cars and a daycare center in an 11th night of mayhem in France

A school was torched in Savigny-sur-Orge.

The Public Treasury in Trappes was targeted by an arson.

A police station was smashed by a vehicle in a suburb of Rouen.

A pre-school was torched in Saint-Etienne

In Grasse, the offices of the Nice-Matin newspaper suffered important damage after being targeted by arsonists.

In Arras, 2 large stores were looted and burned (But and St Maclou). Over 10,000 square meters were lost to the flames.

To be fair, France did produce Aquinas, Abelard, a large bulk of medieval scholasticism, Hugo, David, Monet, Renoir, Rodin, etc...

Problem is that they've been running off of old fumes for the past 100+ years. They've produce good cinema these days. Not much else you can say, though.
