Paris is Burning

[ZeUs!!]

Thats what I was thinking, I doubt the Parisian tourist industry is going through a boom at the moment

[Fair]

yea unless all the ruffians like me think that it will be a cool time to go and join in :P

Well it all started when two guys ran away from the cops and were hiding in one of those electric buildings and got them selves electrocuted, i guess people just used it as an excuse and it went from bad to worse.

No, it's because one of the president candidates.. I forgot his name, said stuff about those 2 guys, and about the whole ghetto's in France. Nothing but scum in it, and drug dealers, etc. etc. That's where the riots started, because of the stuff this dude said, and now it's more of a competition and "fun" for the youth from the ghetto's to do in France, and it's spreading all around.

haha french are such pussies, they fight there own ppl...WHAT KIND OF FUN IS THAT LETS KILL SOME IRAQIS!

This is all about equality of rights, sure the goverment systems fail for this type of people and they live in a really bad environment like drugs, etc..but how about they actually go to school, work to be a normal citizen instead of destroying and stealing, it's not like this that things will change, maybe one day they will be remembered because they tried to change something, but did they actually do anything that will help themselves and their family?

This people, not talking just about black people, but also about asians and east europe people, if they broke some law the official entities should send em to their original country, this would be a stric rule for imigrants, so they could see that they had to be a hard working person instead of just fucking up things and whinning about a bad government system.

Im sure everyone had problems with this people, when they tried to steal, beat, threaten, etc, you, and you have this though "why dont these fucks go to school and work", of course it's not easy and there's many reasons for this people to steal, etc, but if they realized what´s better for them atleast some things would change.

I think you get my point, Im kinda in a rush, so I don't have much time to explain this better.

i thought it was "london's burning"

[NaiLed]

no, that's a The Clash song

[Burzum]

Wow, now that I read some more about it, this riot is HUGE. Over 1000 cars set on fire each night for 14 days straight? Hundreds of stores burnt down? This is troubling.

[scumbag]

no, that's a The Clash song

that Londons calling

Cuase the Americans didn't have a civil war, douchebag.



EDIT: Eph, don't say shit like that, you're just asking for that to come up and for you to get flamed.

Well it all started when 2 young boys were elctrocuted (sp) when they were running away from the police, small riots began because magrebians were tired of being discriminalised by most of French... anyway that was just the beggining, one or two days after the incident the French minister of the interior called the persons that were indignated and revolted about the death of the 2 young boys and their social conditions of being the worst scum and said that they should be swept... he basically treated the whole emigrant comunitty as if they were piles of garbage...
After those serious accusations and flames the already revolted emigrants started to get even more active and more and more emigrants ot together and revolted not only agaisnt the 2 more deaths that had happened, not only against the continous lack of conditions and disrespect that the fench comunity gives them and to the lack of oppurtunities both in school and work and chances of employement they have... but also to the fact that one of the ministers from a country that was supposed o be gratefull and that should treat their emigrants in an impeccable way, since most of them are from France's ex colonies, not only that but they were also threated as garbage by a member of the government.
On a side note in France there is not an habit of making a progressive change over time by trying to slowly gain the upper hand and wait for better days, in France's history you can watch that most evolutions were made by bloody revolts and fervorous revolutions, so it's not that odd to watch soemthing like this happening... especially in the country that is considered by all as the place where "human rights were first defended and upholded".

Zues dress up as a gangster from the ghetto, or dress-up as a catholic priest. The whole head scarf banning thing was way over the line man. I have a feeling the ruling government really has no idea about what to do in a situation like this.
All races, and religions have to be treated equally, and I'm willing to bet that those who are rebelling feel that they are being forced to assimilate into the french culture.

[Galleleo]

Thats kinda what I said Ari.

If I am correct tho, before the French Revolution, the french tried to persuade the goverment with like 3 million autographs from people opposed to the goverment, they tried this twice, with the second time far more autographs, and only after this they started the revolution and stormed the Bastille..

Tho it's very possible that I know take 2 complete different things and mess them up through each other and that those autograhps stuff is from something totally else.. it's to early to think really straight.. I think I am right, but I could easily be wrong..

Maybe this post is kinda useless anyway! ^-^
