You know nothing about neoconservatives, do you? For starters, most of the shining lights of that bunch were "dyed in the wool Progressives" in their earlier days. The 'neo' brand of conservatism has almost nothing to do with conservatism.
Don't forget Wilson forcing the US to get incredibly involved in Europe's bullshit, pushing the Monroe Doctrine outside of the Western Hemisphere, and inventing the seeds of what would become neoconservative foreign policy.
We gave cover to them for their bullshit treaty with Germany. Yeah, in retrospect, not a good idea, but at the time, the French were more than happy to take the help.
Most of those US murders are drug related. One gang moving in on the territory of another or some such nonsense. Remove those numbers from the equation, and the results are staggeringly better. The odds of a tourist catching a bullet, while not non-zero, are much lower than your statistics indicate.
Since most of the French population is white, then there's a good chance the attackers were white.
Except where it doesn't work that way. This summer in Chicago, IL, ~180 gun deaths so far this year. In a 32% white city, somewhere north of 80% of the victims and perpetrators were black or brown.
We can argue cause (genetics, aftereffect of slavery, social standing, etc.) but what can't be argued are rather black and white statistics showing that blacks are disproportionately victims and perpetrators of various crimes. (This is US, FR may be different.)
This wasn't a random assault by other customers at some shady McDonalds at 3AM, nor was it an assault by a typical skinhead -- from the photos the alleged perpetrators were McDonalds Management.
In France, I would expect Algerians and Moroccans before I'd guess skinheads.
Anyone's writing is going to look terrible if you deliberately join all the paragraphs into one rambling block of text. Follow the links in TFS; it's much more readable.
Uhh... That IS the writing to which he was referring. That NPR intern couldn't write her way out of a wet paper bag if that piece was any indication.
Judging by the number of "in Australia, it costs..." posts in this story, I'd say every Aussie capable of turning on a computer is too busy posting on Slashdot to make a video game.

I have plenty to hide
Of course you do. One of my more common answers to "if you've got nothing to hide..." is: "So you're ok with me installing a camera in your bedroom?"
Trust me, you aren't going to see anything there other than a demonstration of sleep apnea.
Taco's wife needs to stop having kids.
Screw that, I refuse to wear a condom.

So you watch Deadwood too huh?
Cocksucka!
They can sell documentation and services. The toe-cheese eater even said so.
"And if not for us, you'd still be drinking tea."
That's not the worst of it: they'd be watching ice hockey instead of football, too!
Or we'd be eating poutine instead of McDonald's french fries.

Considering he was pissed off about the ebul gubmint stealing his patented process, I think he'd tell Google to eat shit.
The 230 mile Model S configuration is $70,000, they're not extended range hybrids so you're not driving out of state,
Oh, puhleeze, the OP might live in Rhode Island or the four corners area.
I've encountered the same behaviour in every single French city I've been to.
That doesn't necessarily mean the problem is them...

Ignoring ancestry, then at what point in the skin tonal scale does someone magically become "African American"?
You've never heard of the 'paper bag test', have you? (A black coworker told me about it. Get off my ass mods.)

drop Tea
get No Tea
I enjoyed the mud too much and died :(
Cmdr Taco.
No new ideas. Less editorial ability than Ben Bradlee. Lame.
I am naked and reading /. at hot home. How's that? :P
How is your hot grits situation? And are you petrified as well?
News reports that filter to the US based on rioting in Paris. Thought skinheads were restricted to Germany and points east.
Nice to be modded down for a sincere misunderstanding.

Thank you for giving me dream that one day I can get rid of all the windows installs in my house.
You need to get out more.
He even wants to get rid of all the windows in his house, he must be losing his mind.
Not really, it's just to make the entire place like one giant basement.
Actually, the koalas have chlamydia. No, I'm not joking; look it up.
Thank God that hasn't gotten to the US cattle population, or all kinds of Texans would be dateless on Friday nights.

Only if Australia had their own developers...

lol! then make babies! and make them play lots of games. market increases in 15 years.
He's trying his hardest, but those damned koalas must be on birth control or something.
Receiving stolen goods is a crime in much (all?) of the US.
