I can't help it: schadenfreude. I wonder how long it will be before they ask us to send in the marines? Maybe if the French didn't have such tight gun control, the problem wouldn't have gotten quite so big. But then, possibly I'm wrong: talk to the rioters; reason with them; understand their pain; can't we all just get along? Just let the Muslims have France, and all will be well: honor killing, polygamy, no porkchops, no beer etc. Time to fasten your seatbelts; this cancer is spreading around the world; here comes the world caliphate in all its sixth century glory. Sorry ladies but you'll have to wear the veil, stay inside and obey your hubby, and no more climbing on Sunday because we'll all be kneeling in the mosque with our butts in the air. Oh, and all those prayers during the day will sure be a drag on multi-pitched routes.

Without tight gun control wouldn't all those rioters be armed?
Hey the French took a swipe at fundamentalism with their headscarf ban. I didn't agree with it but what have we done to reduce fundamentalism besides try to get fundamentalist on the supreme court?
But yeah, who needs those Frog bastards with their nice wine, juicy sex, fine food, and chossy Chamonix? Lets get back to the missionary position, Coors light, and burgers! They don't even consistently crank harder than Mericans any more either, now that we have Tommy and Chris givin em the finger on their own soil.
Yup, feels good to bash somebody else. All those hurricanes were a bummer.

No Locker, Woody is a moron! I guess leave it to a red-neck american to suggest that if everybody had a gun that things would be far better off. Ya, send in the marines so they can "help" the french just like they did in Iraq. Dumbass!

Without the Americans, the French would be speaking German: twice. And without the French, the Americans would be speaking English: twice.

"He said fundamentalist jaybro, not fundamentally stupid. A subtle, but distinct difference."

"1 fatality in 11 days. Damn gun control."
Couldn't agree with you more, but....
I wonder if its for the same reason.
Actually the french still have a lot of guns laying around, many of them never fired and only dropped once.

Well Locker, you're right. One throws out a hook with some meat on it expecting a little polemic and the lake is practically bare-- mostly wee guppies. So little talent, an arid universe strewn with pale epithet and lack of imagination--dreary ,cold and deep. Too much time with the Gameboy or brain damage from hardrock. Critical thinking and elevated humor require an attention span not noticeable among most of the above. But there is hope: memorizing the Koran may do wonders for concentration. Which reminds me Locker, you're always complaining about your memory; I'll bring along a copy of said tome tomorrow.

Meanwhile a few years ago: 55 dead in 6 days in Los Angeles.
Still think gun control is a bad idea?

Yeah Ron, I realize that was rather ambiguous. But I think you understood me. It wouldn’t take nearly as long as 11 days to get a fatality with rioting in the US.

I see nothing racial about the first post here, as someone claimed. He was speaking about Muslims, where does race come in?
Let's be rational here and assess the situation, rather than paint with a broad brush.
95% of immigrants are fine human beings that wish to provide a better life for themselves and possibly some people back home. They contribute to your high standard of living. They got family values the Republican party would die for. What I see in places like germany, is that sometimes they want the benifits of a liberal society (a strong economy, low unemployment, social services) without the ideas that are the foundation.
5% or less are deranged, just like the 5% of deranged individuals in the host population. They prey on frustration and youthful zeal, and spread ignorance. Whether Fascist Slovaks at home or Fundamentalist Imams abroad, that sh#t is the same.
Just because some highly visable Misfits (OBL, or the kids in France) state something as an objective, doesn't mean they speak for the masses.
Just look at Iraq. Do you think the Iraqi people like playing host to all the crazy bastards from the Muslim world who have violent tendancies? They want them to leave just as much as they want Americans to, so they can lead normal lives, get married, have kids, ect.
All I am trying to say is that the crazies are a problem for all of us, including muslim imagrant populations.
