[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are kidding, right?  No shame here.
Parisian values are a proxy for our values--the attack on them is an attack on us.  They were just easier to get to.  It is not a matter of more or less sympathy.  People are reacting to the fact that WE have been attacked, and there is no end in sight.  Your nutty question is like asking Americans after Pearl Harbor why they hadn't been equally shaken by god knows, the massacre of Nanking. It was horrific, but not an attack on the US.  It is not revulsion / sympathy we feel. It is revulsion, sympathy, fear, outrage AND a call to action..[/quote]

Ah I see - parisian values - are these the same values that republicans were just shitting on last week when potus candidates were making fun of the french work week?

The same values that have made france the butt of jokes on the right, here for the last 15+ years on all sorts of policy and cultural dimensions?

No your analogy is terrible - that's like saying americans were shaken up when Paris fell to the germans in 1940. A lot of americans weren't. Pearl harbor's analogy is 9/11.
