Video of France riots, burning tires as pension protesters clash with police

[SAMSON123]

You americans better do as the French are in regards to torching your nation if necessary to get your politicians to realize it is YOU whom they work for...

That will never happen, and you know why? Because TV commentators tell the American public they would never react that way, ...and we all know who owns the minds of the American people. Right now they are sheep being led to slaughter. For those who refuse to believe, we can only hope theirs is a kosher kill.

Burning tires is environmentally unsound.

[Slapper]

Ok. I'm going to get on the side of The Establishment now.

How many here have a better system than the one we have now (not talking about party)? NONE!

You see, for all we bitching and moaning about higher taxes, corrupt politicians, et cetera; we live in a prosperous society. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has a chance to get ahead if they want to. Yes, our successive governments have drilled our economy to an unsustainable point, one whose direction we either change or we're fucked, but, at the end of the day, all this socialist talk about "wage slave labor" and being a "slave to debt" and all the jerk off stuff no one TRULY believes is just BS and it doesn't get anyone with Americans because we know it is BS. We know that in today's society a socialist system breaks down in no time. The same way a truly capitalist system breaks down even faster. A hybrid of the two is what we need. And a hybrid of the two is what we have.  

You see, where all these anti-system people see nothing but evil, people who want to enslave you based on a loan (aka debt) I see people who lend you money to do something, provided you pay interest at the end of the month. Is the lender trying to enslave you? No! The lender works based on the fact that you have a job (and regardless of system, every person has to work or produce something of value) but you do not have enough money, at the present time, to buy x. He/she know you will have it in x months, so they lend you the money. He gets his 5%, you get your house and both sides are satisfied. The lender doesn't push you into borrowing the money.

I mean, there isn't a single person here who distrusts corporations half as much as I do, but please, let's throw caution to the wind here. We live in a system of privilege that works when done well, provided politicians work for The People, not for one small segment of the population. The problem is not the system, it's the politicians.

It's not even a case of someone dangling a carrot in front face. It's someone giving you the carrot provided you give him something in return. That "something" is almost always something easily attainable, but definitely not a ball and chain.

I'm a lefty and have always been a lefty but... come on, this is not a cotton field in the South and I'm not Kunta Kinte.

Let's all grab the politicians by the balls.

The other option is to act like pseudo-thugs like some of these European/American unions, the very same ones that take 2 years to complete a public works that usually takes 6 months. Or, the ConEd employees who suddenly "reappear" on a Saturday afternoon to put up an 80 yard section of cabling that fell on Wednesday morning because of the 2 feet of snow that fell in 27 hours. All because they want to get that precious double and tripple time. This actually happened to me and my family.

Let me tells you, there isn't anything more irritating that seeing 6 ConEd employees stand in front of your property at 2 o'clock in the morning, calmly discussing how they're going to fix the cabling, all the while sipping on a latte, tree branches are collapsing all over the place (including the top of my house), on a Thursday night, while your 2-month old baby has to endure 50-degree temperatures inside the house (we actually left on Thursday morning). I came extremely close to grabbing my gun, going outside and firing some warning shots. THAT is the day I closed my chapter on hardcore socialism. All because of a dirty union.

That's right Slapper...SIT THERE AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....Just wait for those in charge to feel sympathy for you and decide to treat you right..HAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Your comments scream that you live on the boarder of INSANITY. Your type is the reason no one does a damn thing in america when trouble is just a little bud growing on a stem. You foolishly believe that somehow wealth and a chance to become rich is within your capabilities as long as you work hard, present a certain image, give your money away to colleges that neither create jobs or guarantee you getting one. And for the sake of these "DREAMS" you go along with whatever is happening in your society, because you believe at the end of the day it will move you closer to being financially well off. Errrrrk Screeeech SNAP OUT OF IT.

America is a POVERTY CASE as it borrows BILLIONS PER DAY from any country willing to loan to it for the sake of surviving and presenting the FALSE image of being rich. You do NOT live in privileged or luxury or safety ...IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. Your dollar is as worthless as the paper it is printed on...is backed by absolutely nothing...you have had a financial blow of nearly 14 TRILLION DOLLARS ripped from your society recently and not one person was arrested in the robbery and not one citizen speaks up about it. All along you worry mindlessly about football games, computer games, MP3 players and assorted electronic junk like cell phones so you can talk endlessly and mindlessly to your "friends" who are often no more than a few blocks from where you are at any moment. So far as education as it relates to current events, history, society, life's needs, survival, business etc etc EVERY AMERICAN IS CLUELESS!!!!! Your reality is a FALSEHOOD like the movie the MATRIX all made to lead you to your destruction. Look at what is happening in your nation right now. Millions of homeless, millions now in tent cities, every major city is half abandoned from store and business closures, massive foreclosures, no manufacturing what so ever, Large businesses like Agriculture, pharmaceuticals, chemicals dictate what you can and can not have and yet you still believe there is a chance for you to be wealthy.

Did you not see my thread on the police in California raiding a Organic Super Market, because the agriculture business in america does not want you eating REAL FOOD. Your police are so rogue now it is incredible..killing and murdering, raping, planting evidence and being found INNOCENT of any wrong doing. You honestly think you are living in a land that is HONEST? A few rogue industries control your whole nation and set the standard for everything...and you the populace can't say anything about it...so much for DEMOCRACY. Sadly it is not until now when things have gone so badly for america that people are finally waking up and seeing the problems. All before as long as you all had a piece of job, a 401K, some savings and dreams too big to achieve ...you thought everything was OK. Now the realization that it was all a SMOKE SCREEN you're panicked which has now turned to DENIAL and non acceptance to reality.

All I can say to you is america is not what it presents itself as and is a more IMPOVERISHED nation than many of the nations you refer to as third world.
