"I understand it's state-controlled media, but maybe someone in Europe can explain why there seems to be very few French blogs discussing this?"

Excellent point. Wonder if the telephone lines are down.

Under French law, you're guilty till proven innocent. (By the way, a recent study found that French jails were the worst in Europe)

[Irish Eyes]

That - also - a 1,000 euros in new up-front money, plus and extra 150 euros a month for a year to the "unemployed youth"

Thanks, I thought that I had heard that, could hardly believe it.

"... pour l'enfant né en France de parents étrangers."

Ummm. Let's be litteral, here: (... and this applies to/for)the child born in France, of strange parents.

Yah. That'll work.

[Republicain]

"étranger" means foreigner

[Anselma]

"étrangers" - Like I said, I was being literal! Jeesh.

[strategofr]

"Theres the catch!"

Sure. Better to put them in jail, right? (If you could get a decent sentence). Then deport them.

Seems like a good plan for me.

"Formation" just means "training" in this context.

[Leatherneck_MT]

" Elect this guy as President of France or whatever the appropriate title is."

Weinie in chief

[Vicomte13]

Well, not quite literal.

"des parents etranges" would be strange parents.
"des parents etrangers" would be foreign parents.

Sort of like the difference between "strange" and "strangle" in English. That one letter makes a difference!

Do we really want all young people to respond to a government decree ordering them into vocational training? Should young women with babies be forced to work even if they have a husband who's working? It's too easy to fall into the "quick fix" mindset that tolerates government interference and heavy-handedness.

The first solution to France' problems is a free economy that allows entreprenuers to easily enter the market, with minimal restrictions concerning the production and selling of their product. This is Hayek 101. (The Road to Serfdom).

France must back down from Socialism and foster a capitalist marketplace or face the fact that they are one step away from Communism.

[Torie]

How about les parents estranged?

[JoeBob]

The key word here is *convicted*

How many of these poor misunderstood mooslum children will be convicted in a french court??

[FarmerW]

When I asked where can you deport citizens to, I was thinking that if countries keep giving out citizenship like lollipops at the bank there are going to be problems.

Deportation doesn't fix the radicals that exist within the citizenship, either natural or granted.

I keep seeing the French equivalent of the Cuban Boat People sent by Castro. Little boats floating over the Med. We shall give them a wheel of cheese, a bottle of wine and a little push off...

While all must remain strong militarily to combat terrorism, the ultimate victory must be in reeducation of those that have been deceived by the lies they have been taught.

[neutrality]

What state-controlled media???

[hershey]

Most will go to Algeria if that country will take them.

[BJClinton]

export their troublemaking citizens to another country.

Right, but where? Would Mauritania, Algeria and Morocco take them without a fight? If it came down to a fight would the French win? Although Ivory Coast proved the French military has no problem massacring dark-skinned people on other continents does the French government have the stomach for that fight? As you said, they don't have the will.

So where do they export their home-grown problem?

[television is just wrong]

they are stripped of their citizenship and sent to country of origin.

[Anselma]

More like "strange" and "stranger" than your "strange" and "strangle"!!!! See the etymology at UltraWeb's online dictionary, and I quote:

'stranger n. strangers < 'strAnj&r > : 1. Anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found; SYN: alien, unknown. [ETYM: Old Fren. estrangier, French étranger. Related to Strange.]'

I rest my case. There's no punning around with you!
