Justice Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 At least the french stand up for themselves. Out politicains are doing as they please and not what they are being asked by the majority so you can draw your own conclusions from that.

Timm Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) There seems to be a lot of civil unrest going on around the world this week. Of course, these outbreaks are all for specific, localised reasons, and in no sense should one see them as evidence of a global dissatisfaction with economic stewardship.

In the 1860s, the debate among about the relationship of humans to animals prompted British scientists, historians and other commentators to make frequent comparisons between Irish people, Black people and apes.

non frog Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Its been a very nice day here - a pleasant 26C and a nice warm sea. I have not seen any burning cars and most of our local youth seem to be enjoying the sunshine. France, IMHO, will have many riots as the year progresses. Mainly due to the racist policies of Sarko and his mates and his enemies in the Communist party. In a country that purports to believe in Liberty, Equality and "Brotherhood" (how do you translate that?) banning people from wearing certain garments because you don't like them is perverse to say the least. Anyway, I wish they would burn my car so I could claim off the insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non frog Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 What is it with the British and monkeys anyway? ... Its because the people of Hartlepool are thick-as-pig-sh1t and once hanged a monkey believing it to be a Frenchman, having seen neither.

juvenal Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 What is it with the British and monkeys anyway? http://www.nde.state.ne.us/SS/irish/unit_2.html I'm a big fan. I've been over at Monkey World Rescue Centre in Dorset today, taking some blankets and baskets in. They always need them. Saw more intelligence, harmony and decent behaviour than I ever see from our so-called rulers. I'd rather watch a gibbon grooming its mate, than see Boris '250K is chicken feed' Johnson talking tripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm in Northern France at the moment. Bagpipes are playing and the natives are gathering for a fireworks display to celebrate the beheading of Spiderman's girlfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Banner Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 That was a very well mannered affair, no riots, no stabbings, no arrests, no burning cars, just a few tens of thousands of French people out enjoying themselves with lots of fireworks and some very loud music.

Anyway, I wish they would burn my car so I could claim off the insurance Then could I respectfully suggest that you move on? All of the French people that I know (and this includes people from the far left) wholeheartedly agree with the principle of banning the wearing of the burka. After all, in a society that is founded on the principles of Liberty, Fraternity and Equality, such displays of religious dogma cut right across the fundementals of the French cultural and political identity, regardless of who is the incumbent in the Elysees Palace. Cheap (and ill informed) shot. Oh and it was 30 degrees on this side of the country today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I will use it again. Perhaps they save their collective defense of their county for when it is really needed. Vivre La France !

Expecting to interact with people who cover their faces is unrealistic. The covering is sinister. There's no difference between covering your face and walking around with your d1ck hanging out. They are both profoundly antisocial acts. Edited July 15, 2009 by 1929crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
