Yes, I would like to study more about Europe's History, so thanks for suggesting that idea. Also, laws don't mean much if they are not enforced, so I don't know why you are trying to make excuses. Yeah, well since your population growth is at .15% then you might have to resort to immigrants to...

Yes, I am sure that there are many immigrants on this board. I should have been more specific with the situation that is being discussed, and so I was talking from the perspective of the African immigrants in France.

Wow big surprise there, you are not the first one, and certainly won't be the last.... Why do you have to turn this into a pissing contest about how the US is so messed up compared to you guys? If you don't go to college here, that doesn't mean you can't get a decent job, and if you do go...

Maybe, I need to explain a little better about the pride thing. Obviously, Europe has a great deal of history compared to the US, and so they are less accepting of people coming into their country. They don't want others coming into political power, and having a say how things are run in their...

I wasn't aware of that either, all I see is a group of immigrants that want to be able to get a good education, a good job, and a chance to get out of the ghetto living conditions that they are in.

Yeah I see about the laws, but it seems that a race qualification for a job is a little ridiculous. How about these employers who were tossing out applications of the people, who had Muslim names, are they doing some time in jail now, or was this merely overlooked by the authorities? If you...

The major thing I think that these Black French Citizens are lacking compared to White citizens is a chance at proper education. This is even still an issue here in the US, where the inner city schools don't have adequate supplies or teachers. These people are sick of being stuck in the...

Yeah, I am very sure about this issue, and this article from the BBC supports it... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4399748.stm Here's a little piece from it......

Are you are saying that you are intellectually equal to someone who is born with a mental handicap at birth? There are numerous diseases that already affect one's mental capacity at the time of birth. Also, look at geniuses, the majority of these people inherit their intelligence through genes...

We had a discussion about this in my "Doing Business in Europe" Class, and what came out of it was that France is now at where the US was in the 1960's dealing with civil rights. How many African mayors, CEOs, other political members in France? They are basically lacking rights, and so they...

I can understand both sides on the issue of abortion, and yes this is a very controversial topic to be dealing with. I chose to do a Dialectical paper on this subject matter in the US for my Ethics Class, and here are some of the arguments I came up with......

I've travelled to France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Iceland, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and various places in the US. Places I'd like to travel to: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Egypt, Lebanon, South Africa...

I'd Have to say...... 1. Weezer 2. Incubus 3. RATM 4. Sublime 5. Staind The list could go on and on........................

I don't have a problem with gay marriage, that is strictly their business and not mine. They can go do what they want to do, and that is cool with me. Many argue that being gay is a choice, but I still think that people are born with what types they are attracted to, and so I'd say it has a...

I absolutely agree with you Mad Pierrot, in Japan, man I wouldn't even feel uncomfortable carrying around \ 100,000 (Not that I ever did though). Here in the US, you never know when you might become the victim of some jacking. I rarely ever carry more than $40 in my wallet, so I just stick to...
