45K cars?....at $5K each, very low average of new/used, that’s just shy of 1/4 billion USDs. Talking about some real money there.

Someone please alert ALGORE to this development. The French Utes are destroying the planet with their carbon emissions!

But to keep the peace in Brazil, they’re implementing a system of race preferences:

Again, I’ll suggest the French police obtain two things.

A super-lubricating chemical available for a decade that when sprayed on asphalt or concrete makes it too slick to walk across. In addition, a large amount of the less-than-lethal “sticky goo”, successfully used against a riot by US Marines in Somalia.

First the police spray the roads and sidewalks on three sides of the riot, leaving a few police behind to catch any rioters who try to exit those ways—on their hands and knees. Then they spray a barrier strip in front of them, will a small access on one side for entry and exit.

Then they advance over that small strip, spraying the sticky goo at the rioters. This is an effective means of incapacitation, and the sticky goo can only be removed with solvent. It won’t be needed for most, only for those brandishing weapons.

The concept is to arrest 100% of a given group of rioters, then transport them out into the countryside for processing. By arresting them ALL, it kills rioting faster than anything. As soon as a policeman shows up, the riot ends or they know they might be all arrested.

France is fortunate in having low tolerance for troublesome foreigners. So any rioter who can be deported, should be.

Of course, in the process of removing sticky goo, if they have to shave arrested rioters, so that they are both bald and beardless, well, that is a hazard of rioting.

Electing Sarkozy wasn’t suicidal.

Ethnic doesn’t mean race:

eth·nic [ éthnik ]
adjective
Definition:
1. sharing cultural characteristics: sharing distinctive cultural traits as a group in society

Nah, this is France. historically they skip offering exile and jump from “can we surrender even more” to “quickly dig a hole for these decomposing bodies”

Yep, they've bitten the "American" bug.

A plurality of Brazilians are Pardo, ie of mixed race. Most of the people don't really buy into the sh-t like they do here, although there are more "black black" people among the American upper middle/upper class than you do in Brazil.

I use race in the generic, commonly accepted sense.

With that said, Brazil, like America, is multiethnic and multiracial, although the lines blur a bit more.

Tis sport to watch drivers squeeze in and out of the limited parking spots in Paris. People sit and chuckle--goes with people watching at the outdoor cafe. Gas is "much" more expensive. No gas stations on every corner.

Motor scooters, public rental bikes etc. Until you view the driving habits of other countries only then do you realize the wasteful use of gas guzzlers we drive(and I drive an SUV)in the US. Driving conditions (roadway size etc) are a lot different. Renauds, Fiats are the most popular once sold in this. Quality has changed for the better.

Funny to watch one young woman who had a metal pipe on the front and back of her small car, as she bumped her way into the spot (and "spot" is all it is).

Would I drive a Prius? No.- Status car of the Liberals in the US.

Power that little thing with the Tesla Sports Car batteries and motor and the electric commuter is a done deal. Tesla claims 250 miles between recharge currently. Three and one half hour recharge time. Throw in my creature comforts, A/C is a must, and a good radio for AM talk / FM music and iPOD compatibility. Still get at least 175 miles between recharge and we are there.

I have argued that hydrogen would be the fuel of choice before electric cars were viable. I recant. I believe electric cars are viable now using the Tesla approach, though the Tesla is pricey at 90K. But mass production will soon enough drop that price. On the cusp of a new paradigm. Kinda fun. Now where can I get those dang motors rewound and balanced. One must have maximum power at ones foot tip.

Real money and the perps are now using buckshot on the police. Shows you what happens when you build a socialist model of hand-outs and Muslim youth’s on the dole get bored. Cut off the funds and take the short-term pain France, you will be grateful for it later.
