Isnt all this boiling back to the race question. Is it possible for one race to not treat a second and third minority race as secondary? Also racial conflict is the root of the problem.

Is there really any way around this?

You may have a point. Race relations have always been difficult in multi-racial countries. France prides itself on certain core values, however, and the government should strive much harder to uphold them, regardless of what race or ethnicity the citizenry is comprised of.

Our Prsident is a walking disaster. He is shattering many of the French values. Not that things were better before but at least we were on a better track. We are certainly going backwards now :(
 
That made absolutely no sense. Could you maybe rephrase that?



Okay, so you're either incapable of following what I'm saying, or you're choosing not to because you think you can piss me off enough that I'll make a blatant mistake which you can then point to in a half-assed attempt to discredit my entire argument.
Or in other words, you are incapable of addressing points. Noted.
That's awfully funny, coming from someone who just accused me of being a troll.
Compliment taken.

On this particular issue he's just as clueless or unwilling to do the hard work it would take to eradicate the racial and social problems that plague the "banlieues" and "cités" around the country as any other French leader before him. This law, if it passes, will be the equivalent of shoving dirt under the carpet. Everything will look nice and clean, no one will be wearing burqas anymore, yet the problems will still be there.

Oh, right, sorry, I forgot that this is the point where you declare a victory that nobody else will credit you with so that you can pretend that you actually accomplished something.

Here, let me help: Bravo!

Compliment taken.

If you're unable to realize that your infantile attempt to insult me is actually more of an insult to yourself, then feel free to take all the imaginary compliments you like. :lol:

TED,
Convinced the inflation rate of his ignore list is going to outstrip that of the Dollar by, well, a lot.
 
They're not the only ones that get caught up in it. Most political parties in France are extremely reluctant to adopt this law, even the ruling party is very divided on this. Most arguments against the ban and especially the fine are based on basic French republican values of personal liberty. The snag is with the equality issue, but most believe that it can be solved without damaging the personal liberty clause. Others claim that the secular French republican values should take precedence in this issue, but that is correctly shot down by the argument that the secular clause applies to the government and not the individual. It's going to be one hell of a debate when this gets discussed by the lawmakers.





Maybe. Just as long as they don't make the mistake France has made, to still consider an entire generation of French citizens as second class. It's all well and good that they're assimilated and that they consider themselves French above all else, but if the society around them makes them feel like outcasts huge problems are bound to surface.

How about only the fugly one's can wear burkas......:confused:
