4. Freedom riots?
Edited on Sun Nov-06-05 11:26 PM by Wcross
Burning public transportation? Burning businesses and homes? Burning other peoples property?
This "Freedom riot" as you call it is going to cost many hundreds of peoples lives and many peoples livelihood before its over. Oh, and it won't bring any freedom either. Death and destruction and nothing more.

On Edit;
Please explain how freedom will be won by this action. Also, please explain what freedoms these arsonists are burning for.

13. I agree. And when the parents of these idiots are marching
against the violence in some of these quiet demonstrations, I think what we are talking about is not a lack of freedom. And when the one crippled woman on crutches got severely burned from the fire bombs these idiots were throwing into the bus she was on, um, this is not about their cherished freedom.

5. I predict, that there will be a missing Mur'kan white woman
by noon Monday. Mur'kans hate France, and furthermore, it hurts their head when they have to think about it, because it involves jografy.

Insolent French bastards shouldn't be invading OUR news.

11. I usually know something about betting
Not this time. If somebody puts up a bad number I'll pounce, otherwise no clue. A bad number is normally defined by an overreaction to conventional wisdom. Like when a football game looks like it will be high scoring and you get a Bob Davies saying USC/Notre Dame will end up 50-49.
