"If people can express themselves online, then maybe they don't need to block the streets."
Hahahahaha! Sure, yewbetcha. The people who "espress themselves online" and the clowns who riot are exactly the same. I'm sure that next car-b-que season, the "disaffected yutes" will just blog about their hatred of the West instead of attacking Jews and burning cars.
"Bloggers in the United States listen to each other and incorporate rival ideas in the discussion," he said. "French bloggers never compromise their opinions." "It is clear that in France we have very large egos and love to speak about ourselves,"
Quelle surprise.
"French culture encourages people to express unhappiness and criticize."
No, really, Bunky? Hooda thunk it?

#2 I don't care for french blogs, most are made by leftists rehashing each other's and msm's talking points.

IMHO, this is bogus. Froggies like to talk about ideas anyway, we're a Nation of theorists and words tossers. Just look at me, poser and pseudo intellectual ("intello").

Some conservative blogs are actually very good, though they cover a wide span of the french right, IE often anti-american and/or anti-israeli. Blogs written by french jews are also often interesting, in that they don't follow the pro-arab/ROP party line of 99,9999% of the msm.

Some :
http://www.ludovicmonnerat.com/ (swiss)
http://www.precaution.ch/ (swiss, excellent, hosts a french online traduction of Spencer's Politically Incorrect Guide to islam somewhere)
http://dahuvariable.blogspot.com/ (swiss)
http://www.extremecentre.org/ (excellent, actually evolved from a yahoo groups where I used to lurk)
http://balagan.blog-city.com/ (sort of french jew MIF)
http://politiquearabedelafrance.net/ (excellent)
http://observatoire-islam-europe.blogspot.com/
http://www.occidentalis-leblog.info/
http://jcdurbant.blog.lemonde.fr/
http://www.lmae.net/
http://lesalonbeige.blogs.com/my_weblog/
http://www.peres-fondateurs.com/taranne/ (on stay; all the links in the blogroll are interesting, they're blogs from the Père fondateurs/Founding Fathers forum, a pro-Us freemarketers lair)
http://zekii.blogspot.com/ (excellent, very caustic, and well written, but really depressed and a depressing)

I believe that trait is referred to in some quarters as simply arrogance and stupidity.

#4 Hahahahaha! Sure, yewbetcha. The people who "espress themselves online" and the clowns who riot are exactly the same.

Actually, a whole subset of blogs are the SKYBLOGS, IE the blogs hosted by the rap radio Skyrock. A whole lot of them, millions IIRC... reading them is a real insight into the "Youth" subculture, complete with phonetic writing, pics taken by cellphones, religious and cultural orientations,... very interesting, but also it makes you really wonder about the future of french culture... Btw, the guys blogging there WERE the ones torching the 20 000 cars in november 2005, they even used them to have a modicum of coordination.

#7 I read this whole thing in the local paper this morning, and thought "Oh, another installation of the old intellectual wheeze 'they do everything better in France'"
Really, isn't it well past time we got up off our knees and stopped genuflecting towards that superior continental culture?
Except for that food thing, of course, and I speak as a woman with three shelves worth of French cookbooks... ;-)

#8 excuse me?... French food sucks - I'll take BBQ and Mexican food anytime. Our wine's better too.

At least they agree with us about that.

#11 "the guys blogging there WERE the ones torching the 20 000 cars in november 2005"

I'll take your word for it, #4 anon, but that sort of negates Loïc Le Meur's wishful thinking theory.

#12 Oops, hit post too soon.

My point was that violent people rarely spend too much time "discussing" - they coordinate with others who lean to violence, of course, but they rarely (if ever) substitute discussion for violence.

Kind of the opposite of the DU, Koskiddies, etc., who do nothing but run their mouths.

#13 Food prep, and wine is about all they've been able to do better than us in the last fifty years, and we've caught up on the wine, and are getting closer on the food...Still, they used to be great and sometimes I am nostalgic about that old 'la belle France' thing...
Come to think on it, though, they haven't come close to doing a proper breakfast taco, which is truely the food of the gods.

#14 Sgt Mom - all European wines are genetically American, much as they would like to deny

#15 We'd caught up on the wine 35 years ago when the first tasting was done. Food prep? That's a matter of taste. I don't know how they can grill anything better than a Webber myself.
