Only in France: Teens torch 100 cars nightly

I won't pretend to know about French current events, but here's what I've read: millions of immigrants from Africa move to France for whatever reason. Said immigrants aren't offered "equal opportunities" in France. So instead of proving their worth and making the best of new opportunities (like millions and millions of immigrants have done in the US over the past century), these geniuses decide that the best way to get answers is by setting fire to 100 cars a night every night for over a year. And now, one year after the first huge round of riots, they're starting up again with more riots and crimes, some at gunpoint. And apparently all of these riots have made "France realize that they aren't doing enough for their minorities".

LOL, ok.

nigs are a plague

thats what happens when you let poor muslims in the country...

Yay for liberalism.

The French are socialist, not liberal. Significant difference. :winkwink:

Let me know when they start torching the french...

people acting like useless human beings to protest the fact that they are treated like useless human beings.

They already have. Last night a woman didn't get off a bus on time and was burned alive.

Not true.

In America liberal is close to socialist.

I Europe I agree, when referring to economy, liberalism means capitalism :)

I've never even thought about that. Makes sense. Different perspective.

To Americans, socialism is quite liberal. Any socialist type programs here are considered to be liberal and are usually created by those that are liberal.

In Europe, where socialism is more of the norm, capitalism would be seen as a liberal movement.

Heh, funny.

I am sorry but i was reading some sort of it a year and a half when it all started. :)

You mean in America being liberal IS CONSIDERED to be close to socialist? :winkwink:

That doesn't make my statement less true. In fact, the American liberals would probably be considered center-right all over Europe.

Liberalism, as an idiology, is something inbetween socialism and conservatism. Liberals generally promote capitalist economical ideas, while also addressing some of the welfare issues the socialists hold dear. Also, you have lots of branches within liberal ideology as well, one of the most known being the US Libertarian movement, which in many regards would fit into the neo-liberalism school of thought.

french support rich white people, negros and poors are like garbage over there.
a few torched cars no biggie, "let my people go" -Carlton from fresh prince

That was not like "few torched cars". If you were there you wouldn't say so.

Only in France??

It's really not difficult to understand - these people are simply getting in the face of society again (like their last uprising against Sarkosy, who called them pretty much the scum of the earth), because there is a presidential race on at the moment....

when you don't have a voice, it's pretty frustrating not being heard
