Quote by: tman_ndsu08 Are you kidding me?! So I have to live in China to say that communism sucks?!

Communism isn't practised in China. But, yeah, life still sucks.

As for the French, all I can say is : get back to work and do a good job and you won't be fired!!!

The incident came after high school students spent the afternoon disrupting traffic outside the Sorbonne by picnicking on a busy boulevard. They were heading away when a frustrated motorist tried to burst through the crowd.

Yet another person forced to find the line with which they will no longer put up with dis-respect from society that surrounds them.

The protesters should be marching where it matters, right in frong of the politicians, at their homes in the street. Why ruin possible sympathizer opprotunities by pissing every commuter in the nation off?

Not smart.

Quote by: bishop i definitely can't understand the mentality of these protestors/rioters... especially after looking at the policy and seeing how seemingly insignificant the change really is. seriously, all it's saying from what i see is that new hires under 26 years of age essentially have to go through a probationary period before receiving their lifetime employment reward.

OK, for the thirty-seven-and-one-halfth time, the protests are not a precise causal function of the law's provisions. Got that? In a way these protests are analogous to the Rodney King business: not so much about his beating as such as the fact that it hit a nerve, it was emblematic of a broader experience.

This law is all about labour flexibility, and "labour flexibility" is just another load of weasely bullshit that really means the race to the bottom.

i also wonder how many of the people protesting are french muslims - the same kids who rioted several months ago over some other nonsense.

Don't worry -- basically a whole nuther group.
And what they were rioting about wasn't nonsense. Put yourself in their place.
