France changes labor laws and folks riot big time. Bush turns the US...

[FormerRepublican]

...into a dictatorship, and people wander around like nothing happened.

What's up with that?

1. We're busy consuming, like proper sheep. nt

[FormerRepublican]

4. And pretty soon we'll be so poor we can't consume a thing.

Bushanomics.

[Drum]

5. Madame Lafarge, tune up your knitting needles. nt

[Odin2005]

2. Europe still has a free press.

[FormerRepublican]

3. They have something "free" left? They've got one up on us...

The US under Bush has something in common with the USSR under Stalin.

[Drum]

6. Amen to that, FR....

So sad but so true. Unendurable cruel when you can see it. Oblivious ones aren't pained so, those masses that say "what's the big deal over rights?"

7. Watching it today on MSNBC. Couldn't get over the words the host was

using regarding the protestors. She was calling them THUG, TROUBLE MAKERS ,,,

The msm hates anyone who disagrees with authority. I guess we might be ablie to take a little solice in that. It may not be personal against people who protest the war here. Here the msm just ignores them, but when they do it in Paris, they cover it like hell.

MSM=CHIMP PROTECTORS, perception managment, PR, corporate hoes

8. Give me some French Fries Damn it.

9. They really need to improve their propaganda. n/t

10. France is special

More internationalist/nationalist revolutionary backbone than any country, including the US (or for that matter; Norway).

This was how the 68-movement started; at Sorbonne and other French universities, then it spilled over to the rest of Europe - and the US. That time there also was a unjust war going on.

Many parallels to today's situation.

11. Most of Amerika has been Pacified.

Most Amerikans are apathetic. The Neo Fascist Regime has nuetered and spayed them.

[mogster]

13. Well, to be fair

This also counts for Norway and many European countries. France is special in so many ways, and you can always trust them to take a very critical stance towards change imposed by the govt.

But the US media has done a lot to pacify itself, and also the population, I agree to that.

Look at this thread, some data and pics from the riots:

15. Great comparison, mogster!

[Nomen Tuum]

12. Millions of Americans are brainwashed by religion

They don't care because they believe Jesus is going to rapture them in a week or 2.

14. Could he make it in a week, not two? The sooner the better, in fact.
