This reminds me of the LA riots...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/11/03/france.riots/index.html

But the original cause has been all but forgotten as residents of other communities -- weary of poverty, unemployment and discrimination against the large immigrant and Muslim populations -- have vented their frustration.

Why don't they move back to where they came from?

???

I may be mistaken, but I think the question should be :
what can we do to ensure full integration of these 2nd or even 3rd generations of Algerians, libyian and other nations that have come in to France.
The same thing is ongoing in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe and does have parallelities with USA/Mexican conflict.

I feel the primary burden to adopt/change/intergrate, should be on the people moving in, not the people already there...

Agree, but think that we should also facilitate the incoming to integrate. This is not really the case in Paris and other large french cities.
On the other hand, the french do better than us because the majority of their immigrants do speak french. ( The french imposed the french language onto their former colony population).

Yeah, we did get the best ones didn’t we?

But there was way more to it then just a few X Nazi’s

I grew up in Clear Lake City Texas in the heyday of the Apollo era. By the way whenever you hear the phrase “ “Houston, we are ready for reentry or something like that, it’s really CLC.

Over 100,000 thousand of some of the smartest people from all over the globe worked on that project. One of my Judo Sensei was a nuclear physicist on loan from Japan.

<Sigh>Ken, you really need to work on your Trolling. Your logic is as flawed as your English.

WE Europeans who live in Europe have not immigrated from Europe.

THOSE Europeans who emigrated to America lost THEIR command of the English language...

But was it worth the enormous cost, what benefit did mankind actually get from the exercise?

1. Monkey, Why do you consider my response a troll?

2. And I didn't immigrate from anywhere. So what's your point?

3. What part of this wonderful language did I screw up this time? :eek: :p

>sigh<
