Just your average France 24 commenters. I'm glad we will never have this problem in the Czech Republic. 

 

 

Even a blatant lie:

Quite a lot of people, including myself, felt heartbroken at all those images of Islamic State destroying monument after monument after monument 'because wrong religion'.

I write poetry from time to time, so on a sad day like this I choose to write one for the French people. (Sorry If you hate it, but I have gained many accolades for my poetry) (I apologize if I misused any French words, they’re all from google translate) (I also apologize if I offend anyone.): 

 

Brûler

Our Lady, Notre Dame

Stands burning.

The protector becomes the afflicted.

Fathers stop,

Their sons are impatient.

“It’s not everyday Our Lady burns.”

It’s not everyday history is destroyed.

 

Presidents, Emperors, Popes, Kings, and Queens

All walked her halls.

The Heart of France, Le Coeur de la France

Burns, brûle

A World, un monde

Watches, regarde

Sad, triste

And devastated, et dévasté.

 

All is lost, tout est perdu.

 

Silence is broken, sadness is chained.

Voices, voix de paris

Cry out for Our Lady.

Their tone is somber, their hearts heavy.

But together, they cry out for Our Lady.

 

Our Lady watched Paris for 800 years,

We watched her for one evening.

Beauty, sa beauté

Changes to hideous horror.

 

Hope will rise from her ashes.

Les Parisiens will rebuild Our Lady.

Her beauty will be restored.

Her scars healed,

But history’s will not.

 

Today Our Lady burned,

We sit in hushed sadness

Tomorrow we rebuild,

And create new history.

@heywoodu @Agger These are people in France who hate France. They want the culture to be destroyed, many were also wishing for more deaths. While I agree with the point about Syria the amount of rejoicing sickens me. We will never have this problem in the Czech Republic because we don’t have Islamic immigration.

We would certainly have a handful of people celebrating here too, like you saw in France. A large majority would either be sad or quiet, like you saw in France.

    • I’ll start first;   Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure)    Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller Ice Hockey:  Sweden men’s team,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team, and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Andri Ragettli Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt   From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. 
    • Decided to start a thread on this early, and get some discussion early    When I mean athletes, I mean athletes from other countries mainly… but ones that represent your country work too

    • I disagree, the Christiansen hit on Kuzmenko was as clean as can be, why would you try to start a fight after that? Honestly, I find it a little pathetic and soft from Pospisil, but maybe that’s just me…
