Aren't you all forgetting the war. I'll admit it was a long time ago, nobody is still around that was in it.


And those Muslims sure are getting annoying

I don't know what the law is in France, but in this country you are allowed to flee the police all you want, unless they have reasonable, articulable suspicion of criminal activity.

I'm quite sure the law in France doesn't punish fleeing from the Police with death by electrocution.

You have proof the cops grabed those criminals and electrocuted them?

Here we just beat them and make sure it's caught on tape. Usually done with a rod-knee combination.

Who says the French aren't brave? Imagine the courage it took to be the first person to sample
roquefort, camerbert or that cheese that's the smelliest of them all: Vieux Boulogne!

Quote:
LONDON - A soft, pungent cheese from northern France has topped a British researchers' study of the world's whiffiest cheeses.

Academics at Cranfield University north of London said Friday that Vieux Boulogne, a Normandy cheese made from cows' milk, was the smelliest of 15 cheeses tested. Two other Normandy cheeses, Pont l'Eveque and Camembert, came second and third.

Scientists at the university used human sniffers and a computer-linked "electronic nose" to rank the cheeses by odorousness.

Stephen White, who led the research, said the smelliest cheeses were those whose rinds had been washed in brine, brandy or _ as with Vieux Boulogne _ beer.

"There was no obvious correlation between the age of the selected cheeses and smelliness, nor type of milk origin, although cows' milk cheeses did dominate the smell chart," White said.

Vieux Boulogne owes its distinctive orange color and pungent smell to the brushing of its rind with beer during the two months it spends aging in cellars around the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France.

The top 10 whiffy dairy products in the survey, commissioned by a a group that promotes French cheese in Britain, came from France. Munster, a cow milk's cheese from the eastern regions of Alsace and Lorraine, was fourth, followed by Brie de Meaux and Roquefort.

Hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and English cheddar, were the least smelly of those tested.

The fact of the matter is that they've been in France for a long time. Algeria used to be a province of France, not just a colony.

They tried to hide from the Police in a power station while fleeing: just imagine how scared and desperate you must be to go hide in such a lethal place. It says something about the relationship between the Police and the community, don't you agree?

They were fleeing police...that makes them criminals...Police in Europe shoot people who flee....if they were innocent they would not have fled. They must have done something pretty bad.


Why didn't the leave to go back to some muslim Eutopia.....?


Thats right ...none exists....Muslims run the most oppresive regimes on the planet.

That is as ridiculous as Mexico wanting to be the 51st state.

Maybe they already are since NAFTA.

According to the net Turkey is considered part of Asia. I have always thought of Turkey as a "European" country.
