Somewhere in France, last night. Riots, 900 cars burned, 2 teenagers killed.

Daybyday: God, that's awful! I hope they put a stop to it.
Steve: Every country with a large immigrant community is bound to have some troubles and tension, but I wouldn't say it's a problem of the french. If you think about it the London terrorist attacks were also made by people with a foreign origin, although already of british nationality. So something is wrong there too, unfortunately.
When there were tribal wars in Africa, genocids, in Uganda and Burundy for instance, it seemed terrible but we didn't care really because it was not in one of our developed countries...I wander how close those kind of radical situations need to get for us to realise that it is our resposibility to acquire a position towards these kind of matters and give an example in the environments we live in. Lack of tolerance can acquire many forms so it may be a suitable moment for questioning our personal ideas towards xenophoby, attitude that BTW has the ability of acquiring a whole range of forms.
I don't like that inmigrants still don't have equal opportunities than locals -I refer to my country, Spain- and I can reckon that I give example of this attitude in my everyday life. If one day, for instance, we decide to go to another country will we enjoy seeing our opportunities for acceding to the good life limited because of nationality prejudices? Will it be nice to live in a marginal geto? Depending on how situations like the one showing up in Paris today are managed we will grow as human beings and overcome some of our prejudices or we will go even more defensives and then no positive outcome would be expectable.
O.M.M.: You're absolutely right, tolerance begins at home and in our everyday lives. But immigration is a very difficult matter, as you in Spain may be considering recently (because of those ilegal immigrants that were caught). It's really sad but a country can't let everybody in because that's not the way things are going to get sorted. Once again it all starts in Africa: if things were a little better there, maybe some of those tragedies with the ilegal immigrant boats wouldn't happen. We have to look at Africa too. People are going crazy about the bird flu, which killed, at the moment, about 80 people. Malaria kills millions of people every year and it's all down to mosquitos and no-one seems to care.
Steve: yes, I thought you were just kidding and I agree with you. The media is to be blamed for a lot of things. I saw Bowling for Columbine last week and I was shocked.
i read in the paper that yet another dog had been blown up by fireworks.... poor thing:(
Spoon: oh that's terrible! :( On other subject, how have you been? :)
Steve: I tried to be impartial watching it but I couldn't. I heard he was too partial on the film but there's gotta be some truth in it and that's scary. The simple fact that you could get bullets at K-mart is enough for me...There is a tendency to blame videos and films, etc...but that can't be the only problem cause most kids watch those things and they're not all killing each other.
