This is the first riot control plan I have ever heard of where you let them riot until they get tired. Can't believe this, oh yes I can it is so very French.

The Nazis eventually stopped invading France, too.

Let's be honest on this. Renaoults and Citroens BEG to be torched! Talk about butt-ugly piles of crap that are only worthy of a cheese eating surrender monkey!!

Give me a NASCAR grade Chevy Monte Carlo (ironic, eh?) any day!

I don't like the French anymore than you may sometimes, but the French, despite their "eccentricities" do make some quick and agile little cars sometimes. I also like big American V8's too.

Personally I hope the French wise up to the disaster in their midst.

Anybody know what the Total (no pun intended) number of cars burned in France in the last 18 days? How many schools, nurseries, etc?

Frankly, I don't give a rip if the Frogs do wise up or not. The sh*theads asked for what they are now dealing with, in spades. Let them live (or die) with it.

I really don't care.

Gee, and only after 18 days and how many thousands of cars, nurseries, schools, business, etc. burned?

The French are nothing if not fast and tough aren't they?

I'm sure the Islamofascist terrorist "youths" are quaking in their boots and keffiyeh's.

I like France and the French (sometimes), but they are doomed cowards and appeasers. It'll never work.

I know what you mean and how you feel. I agree a lot of the time, but I still do like some French life and culture and I don't think it's a good idea if Europe goes down the tubes. We still have some connections with Euro culture and Western civilization.

The Muslims and Islamofascists depress the hell out of me though.

Well, one would expect them to tire after having free run of the country for 2 weeks... Don't worry, I'm sure they will get their second wind soon.

P.S. Didn't a French ruler once say "Paris is worth a mosque"
