Thanks for all the pics, there are a lot now starting to show up.
I keep flipping to CNN and the others - they don't seem to be covering the story unless I just keep hitting the commercials.

"I now they are a welfare state, but how do they have the money to afford it. Anybody know anything about the French economy."
Yes, it is socialism that will collapse upon itself in the next 5-10 years. Eventually, companies that are private will either leave or the government will take them over. At that point you can stick a fork in the French.

Good morning.
"There is a reason no one wants to hire employees in France,"
Not just in France. Our Belgian friend brought her family here ten years ago because of the lunacy of the government's position on employment rights. Of course the take over off Belgium by the Muslims played a big part in her decision.
She and her kids are here legally, by the way, but she has battled the INS non stop a long as I've known her. I told her to change her last name to something Hispanic sounding.

Call me crazy .. but I'm thinking rioting, destroying property and burning cars isn't gonna help their cause
I'm thinking it's gonna have the opposite effect

Is it just me, or is anyone else just amazed at the farcical turn that has taken some world news?
Riots about cartoons... riots by lazy kids...
In a country where the unemployed went on strike, this kind of stuff should be expected.

The way I'm reading that book title (and my French is limited) it says: "Seeming Good: The art & necessity of doing the least possible at work." How close am I?

Opinion polls show almost two-thirds of French people oppose the CPE. Even so, commuters were frustrated by the strike which caused delays on many rail lines. Those anti-democratic French! They should be kicked out of the UN! It is a totalitarian dictatorship! Business interests have taken over France! The Oppression! The Slavery! Someone help Save the French!
