French consider naming streets after Arafat - 11-15-04

Several French municipalities governed by communist and left-wing majorities are considering naming a street or a square after Yasser Arafat.

The French police intelligence service, Renseignements Generaux, reportedly warned the Ministry of Interior that such initiatives might trigger heated polemics and tensions between Jews and Muslims, especially neighborhoods ridden by ethnic violence.

In several suburban cities near Paris and Lyons governed by communist mayors, large Muslim and Jewish populations live side by side.

The funny thing is, the article actually says those things, usually whenever I see SixGun post stuff riddled with "communist" and "left-wing" he's just talking out his ass. It's actually in the article though, lol.


Thanks. Find out exactly what to think, next.

Isn't there supposed to be some kind of commentary by the poster of these threads?

Lots of Commies in Western Europe.

Schroeder's Green Party regime in Germany is an example, some of his ministers were connected to the commie Baader-Meinhoff terrorist gang of the 1960's and 70's.

Of course many "liberals" here in the USA are infatuated with Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra.

Maj. T.J. "King" Kong: Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one .45 caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days concentrated emergency raisons; one drug issue containing: antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair a nylon stockings. Shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Well their decision to name a street or something after arrafat isn't all that surprising, I mean the french aren't that well known for intelligent decision making

I use to live on Easy St, people would always say "is your life easy living on Easy St?" I bored of that fast. What does that have to do with this thread? That people are pretty stupid. Wow a street, I mean even if you liked him, a street, cause it's every mans dream to run a nation so the French name streets after you.

It all comes down to stature and regard. And apparently the french held Arrafat in high regard. How many people do you think its going to piss off if the french give Arrafat the supposed honor of having anything named after him be it a build, street, block, or square.

http://www.parisbusinessreview.net/ all over again.

Or you could have another war of names, calling things freedom, but go further than just "freedom fries" and actually reduce imports from France instead of increasing them.

Like, all those streets, educational institutions and the occasional city, instead of Lafayette, you could call them Freedom. Like, look at the Statue of Liberty, I mean, freedom. Greater Lafayette will become Greater Freedom.

It'll be glorious and silly.

Viva la revolution!


Thanks. Find out exactly what to think, next.

America has an aircraft carrier called the Winston Churchill... should we boycott America for honouring a rude abusive drunk?

"I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."
