Fox has just been covering student rioting in Paris over a new job measure. If anyone has more details, please post.
Congratulations! An understandable, accurate, two sentence explanation of what's happening!
You've been able to do something the MSM hasn't been able to explain adequately in my couple of hours watching the riots.
And the founder of France was most likely a native German speaker. And their most famous soldier was a woman. And etc. etc. etc.
That's hilarious.
He was also vacationing in Cambodia during Christmas time....or so he claims.
Bttt! You're ok. Tienamen square still rankles me.
... a Breton flag ??
HA !
A bunch of haoles...
I do not have enough factual information to determine the legitimacy. France will need to figure it out for themselves.
This is a bunch of punk kids, agitated by leftists, rioting because they can get fired if they don't do their job (which is only 35 hours a week (and lots of breaks), with 6 weeks of vacation anyway).
According to media reports. I have worked in europe, and they do have a shorter workweek than we do. The holiday weeks sort of make up for the lousy socialized healthcare :)
It's much ado about NOTHING. No legitimacy to it.
When out of touch politicians tinker with people's livelihood, people get testy. And the french go on strike and riot. To see a similar parallel here, cruise any illegal immigration thread regarding the labor impacts.

FLASHBACK:
"On February 29, 1704, a party of French and Indian raiders
descended on the Massachusetts village of Deerfield, killing fifty residents and
capturing more than a hundred others. A force of more
than two hundred Frenchmen, Abenakis, Hurons, Kahnawake Mohawks,
Pennacooks, and Iroquois of the Mountain overran
the northwesternmost village of the New England frontier.
The attackers took 112 men, women, and children captive.
The book Captors and Captives: The 1704 French and Indian Raid on Deerfield (Native
Americans of the Northeast) by Evan Haefeli, Kevin Sweeney
follows the raiders and their prisoners on the harsh
three-hundred-mile trek back to Canada and into French and Native communities."
This is just fantastic. My mom's leaving for Paris tomorrow and is staying somewhere near the Sorbonne. Please everyone pray for her safety, and that of her friends!
I loved the Cop translator.
The Muslims will cure them of that.
LOL. I think he was from da Bronx.
I remember all the fanfare over their Minitel, a phone based text information system they rolled out in 1982.
They were way late to the internet revolution because, "who needs it? We already have ze Minitel".
Nah. Liberals are never embarassed except by the actions of others. They always exempt their own behavior from embarassment.
Europeans are so sophisticated (sarcasm).
