Protesters armed only with signs were mowed down by troops.
Bombs dropped on several Kindergartens and preschools.
People in hospital beds machine-gunned and bayoneted.
Oh but their French so I guess its ok?
Noting on uber? No outrage? HMMMM?
The people of the Ivory Cost are protesting insane pay (about 20 cents and hour).
High taxes on imported goods (From France).
And no representation.
The Ivory Coast is one of the largest producers of chocolate in the world.
I must be lying I mean the French?
(Several witnesses told the BBC that French peacekeepers opened fire on a crowd of tens of thousands supporters of Ivorian government.)
Check out the (No doubt watered down story) on the BBC
Therefore, the Imperialist French send a military force to put down a peaceful protest.
Then kill them.
Nevertheless, its ok, thier French.

i think what the person who wrote this post was trying to say, is that we never hear about it on the news.
its a grave travestry, a sham, and a mockery. its a traveshamockery.
we 'hear' every little thing about iraq, like 2 american soldiers die, but when 5000 people are murdered by a sovereign country in some little corner of africa, nobody notices.
back in the congo civil war, there were over 1,000,000 people killed in genocide. very few people know.
it does affect me personally, if that makes a difference.

Actually Brian, the French are getting their asses beat in the Ivory Coast and had to send more troops and missile strikes. But Phallic Cymbals, how does the Iraq war affect anyone but Iraq? Yes, it affects the soldiers sent from the countries involved, but unless you are one, how are you affected personally?

Is this the dumbest thing i've ever read?
Gee, i dunno... it's sure trying to be.
Firstly, let's fix basic errors;
"Oh but their French"
Should be; 'Oh but they're French' as in this case you refer to the contraction of "they are"
"about 20 cents and hour"
Unless the government has developed some sort of machine that can pay workers with quantities of time i think you mean "20 cents AN hour"
"Nevertheless, its ok, thier French."
See above.
Now onto your actual cuntent. Oh did i spell that wrong? I meant cuntent.
Since when did anti-genocide intrinsically mean pro-French?
Your whole argument is easily dealt with;
You kill a bunch of innocents, you're an asshole. No-one on Uber argues that. Why is noone condemning the French? They are, just not on Uber because it doesn't directly affect their country. It's not their country doing the killing. Unlike in Iraq.
What is the point of this post? Can you lucidly state what point you are trying to make?
I'm hoping you only escaped for an evening and got caught again already...

Its ok they are French
It must be a very peaceful protest
Other wise the French troops would have had their Asses kicked.
I hear Canada is sending troops to help kill the unarmed children.
