#1 Not to be picky , but I mispelled, it is "Radio-Courtoisie", not "Radio-Courtoise".

#3 "One of the declenching factors of this has been the drug shortage"

The UN must begin immediate operations to airlift in the critical supplies. The masses must be opiated. Keep them stoned. A stoner will not succumb to the influence of the Imams.

#5 Wow, that was fast!...

http://fr.news.yahoo.com/10112005/290/huit-policiers-suspendus-pour-violences-dans-les-banlieues.html

8 police officers were suspended and will be investigated : 2 of them for excessive use of force during an arrest (which resulted on "bruises and abrasions on the forehead and right foot without work incapacity" of the suspect, must have been a Rodney King-like arrest...), 6 for being passive witnesses.

From what I've read, their major mistake has been to make the arrest in front of France 2 public television's cameras...

#6 Note the drug shortage excuse may be bogus, apparently the places most heavily involved with drug trafficking have been relatively calm; perhaps it was the "little fishes" who rioted, not the big ones?

#10 I only post because this is a subject I follow too, the way the Republic has caved in front of this is quite a spectacle to behold.

As for the self-esteem issue, have no fear, my overweight problem, a complete lack of social life and a very small penis (thanks to my chinese ancestry) are keeping it at a very moderate level, rightly so.
