Quote by: Nono Man, Allas, you sure don't seem to know much about the way France works.
1) A degree of disarray (and you'd have to actually believe what you hear on Fox News to think it was any worse than that) is as French as foie gras.
2) If street protests didn't give French governments serious pause, France'd still be in its first republic (look it up).
3) The French shutting the fuck up? 
Unlike Americans, the French aren't taking the globalized race to the bottom lying down.
The greedheads will probably ultimately prevail, as ever, but in France they're being given a run for their money. Three cheers. |
1) Im danish, i can take two 24 hour international news stations, and those are CNN and BBC world. The rest of my news i get from danish news programs (which are all top of the hour based with plenty of news and current events specials in between), free news papers which i read to and from school, the internet (some of it from here, and you guys dont tend to post fox links alot) and other than that, i just pick it up here and there.
The past 6 months, france has been host to far to many disruptions of all kinds. I call it serious disarray when the government fails to do the will of the people - and the people are unwilling to do what is necessary about it. I call it serious disarray when a country such as france is forced to appeal to a larger order for help and monitary assistance in order to correct its own self made social problems - such as it did in the aftermath of the riots a few months back.
2) We are witnessing the so-called pause the french goverment is in now. Weeks of protesting and civil disorder has lead to the french president changing 2 minute details in the law. It is clear, this law will pass. The question is, how far are the french willing to go prevent it? Its time to take it to the next level, because this round of protesting does not seem to have the effect we all expected it to have.
3) Touché. :p
