Maybe its just a stereotype, but france has a lot of problems with racism. The BNP are these days regarded as a bunch of baseball weilding lunatics (with a recent documentary doing them some serious political damge) while the Front Nationale heve proved a major political force in recent years. It's also a country with a lot of immigrants, they used to own half of africa. They recon 1 in 4 french people have an immigrant grandparent.
Sir Degrader made a damn good point that it is not the immigrants, but their, children that are the problem. That is probably mostly true in Britain too. I suppose these people feel like outsiders in the only country they've ever known.
I'm probably giving them too much credit, the violent ones are complete shits after all. Part of me would like to see them walled up together and left to finish each other off, but that would hardly solve the problem. Justice and retribution are all very well and good, but if they cause more unrest in the process, you havn't done anything except make yourself feel better.
There is no solution I can see, because neither side seems to want a solution. You have to try to reason with these unreasonable bastards. Before regularly reading this forum I used to think the pathetic revenge fantasies that were posted in the political topics in general converstion were crude jokes. It shocks me that some of you seem to actually believe in such solutions. You're no better than they are.
