Being Insensitive and Flippant

You know ...

The rioters in France would win more hearts if they erected barricades and sang rousing anthems.

I hope you're kidding here.

I'm french and I can assure you the situation in France is not like english media is depicting it.
And the rioters are not all Muslims.
What they're doing is not right and is useless, but it must be seen as a cry for help like : 'hey ! the government, we're here, we exist, stop having your eyes shut and do something about the plight we're in!'

But their means of protest is bad, I agree.
There's also media in France which is delighted to have horrible images of a decadent country to show.
I'm horrified.

Ok. Just wanted to make things a bit clearer.

ps : I really enjoy your drawings twirlynoodle, it's always a pleasure to surf your site. Thanks.
