all governments are the same... the first grab of power is to take charge of the education of the masses.

The next is the inevitable move toward socialism in order to increase their power over everyone.

pk, sometimes there's som truth in propaganda. Do you have anything to add other than who it's written by.

Gunslinger.

I doubt he does. It's a common tactic rather than refute what was poisted in a constructive manner, just denigrate the source of the information with no basis to prove the info is wrong. If he really had anything he'd have posted the info rather than just smear the source.

I'm really trying to get a guage on what is going on in France. This is day 17 and the french kinda act like "it's no big deal" and those that do speak up they are now racists/bigots/neocons. Even the local newsies there said they don't want to accuratly report the news cause it might help a right wing agenda.

Seriously if we had riots coast to coast in every major city in the US the press would be asking for Bush's head on a plate but we don't hear that about france.

Yep I can add something : someone posting a "it's not my fault nor the fault of my ancestor" should just shut up.

Look nowhere in his article this French néo-con mentionned that we almost deported the muslim to France in the 50's/60's to do the job the native French didn't wanted to do (or where not numerous enought to do).

Gunslinger, basicaly if you're after objective articles, you should keep looking, you haven't struck gold yet.

Well it seems I can't find ANY and the french themselves really don't want to talk about it. You guys realize that by dumbing down this situation you are doing Europe a disservice as many other countrys (this is an assumption on my part) are probably in the same boat as you guys.

Yep that's what I said in my replies to the other riot threads. That's just the way they are.

Like I said I don't consider myself french to begin with. I stopped trying to have any effect beyond close friends because they just won't have it.. and after a while I didn't feel any belonging to this place.
I do run into people who really are receptive to my outsider perspective, but they're few and far between so I don't go out of my way to find them.

I'm done here and it's time for me to think for myself. I don't have any roots here anymore, the best thing I can do as far as I can tell is grow bark and branches in the US.
