Uh? The fuck is going on in France?

[Erik]

Whatever it is, it seems fucking hilarious to me, I love when shit burns and the Powers That Be are absolutely powerless against Chaos and Destruction

I do believe we have some Frenchmen here, tell me more about how the situation is!

Oh right. I never even heard about it until today; I love not having TV or newspapers or anything. I'll be all like "huh? World War III what the fuck are you on about?" two years after it hits

I don't really know, I guess boredom, ignorance, gregarism and absolute stupidity are the triggering devices here for much of the fun.

Ask Dev, he lives right in the eye of the riots

What are they going on about now?

I have TV, but they don't report on Parisian rioting during Sportscenter, so...

the arabs in france are burning cars to protest the fact that they have cars even though they are supposedly oppressed and shit. also to celebrate the world cup.

i am just waiting for the "let's break up the EU" riots

Is that really the reason?

 

[lizard]

haha no

I think they're just pissed because they think they are downtrodden. And I imagine that's true.

or maybe they're pissed because they ran out of grey poupon.

the BBC gets a jab in with this headline:

Violence exposes France's Weaknesses

 

[lurch70]

i liked one of their senior politicians saying on Tv that the "police needs to deal with all the scum anyway they can"

you gotta love Europe ...

Well fuck, I'd riot if I ran out of Grey Poupon too! Shit's delicious. I mean, if you have a nice salami sammich, and you run out of Grey Poupon? Look out, violence is coming.

France is turning into an apocalyptic warzone!!! totally fucking metal.

i don't know what exactly is going on (just the whole oppressed minority bit), but it cracks me up when americans, living in a country founded upon protest, are calling for the crucifiction of these protestors. fuck "don't tread on me" i wish our company motto was "take this shit to the streets."

this was on another forum btw, i don't imagine people in the real america even know what's going on over there.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

we don't. America doesn't care about france, in fact, they blatantly don't like them for not invading iraq. So american news isn't going to cover the story. Hell, they aren't even talking about it up here in canada (cause our news mostly comes from the states).
