Paris Riots - Tiki Central Ohana

V virani Tiki Socialite Volcanic area of France Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1439	V virani Posted posted on Thu, Nov 10, 2005 4:27 PM Hey, thanks a lot, I'm fine. The situation is really strange here, but there's nothing dangerous really. There's a big social and political problem in France right now, but I hope everything's gonna be fine. The events of the last 12 nights are complicated and seemingly contradictory, but no more so than any other instance of collective violence: there is no real ideological underpinning, but the riots are more than just senseless violence; people are angry at a country that has provided poorly for them and put up barriers against their pursuit of happiness, so they burn their own neighborhoods. And please, I've heard that some american channel are speaking about a religious problem in France, and riots linked to it, but NO, that is not at all a religious problem, that's just a social problem.
