Hmm.
I would've found this an important discussion if I wouldn't have to resent the tone of the first messages: instead of discussing a problem, some people seem to be in some perverted way happy that France is experiencing these problems. And "they can't blame the US".. huh? Why would they?
Mr Ghost was also pointing out a couple of times that France is a "developed welfare state" and "socialist" like it would be the reason for the problems. I'm pretty sure what's been the problem is that there has ben a too fast, sudden inflow of immigrants without the needed measures having been taken to integrate these into the society. No income transfers prevent maginalization if not combined with appropriate policies.
This IS a problem there and I'm sure they are doing everything in their power to tackle it. How do you think this could best be done?
