Yet France has had more Islamic terrorist attacks than most other western countries. Is this due to their trying to force other cultures to integrate? Does this approach just stir up more hostility?
I have always been critical of multi-culturalism. I have never liked the way that, in some places, you have the people of Caribbean heritage living in one part of town, and those of Asian descent somewhere else, and the Chinese over there, while the white people are here. I always thought that the way it is, where I live, with the races integrated, is better. But the French experience may be proving me wrong. Perhaps it is because the government there tries to force integration to happen. What do you think? less
I think it would be rare indeed if a persons life fell in place just like they envisioned it? How about yours , did it take on a life of its own, or did it follow the expected path?

I was telling someone a memory I had about the neighbor growing up. I remember sneaking in his backyard with the neighborhood boys and climbing on the roof of his shed/barn thing. But when I told the story it seemed unreal, and I started to doubt my memory. Maybe it was a dream?

Once during the Detroit riots in the 60's I was only 9 then but it gave me nightmares well into my teen years The second one was at the Battle in Seattle (WTO protest) it didn't mess me up mentally or physically but it sure came close to brown trowser time which would of been pretty embarrassing at the border crossing. The third time was at the Parksville riot of 93 compared to the other 2 riots it was a picnic no one got hurt and the cops had it under control in a half hour. Cheers! less
