I think France may very well implode.
between this new law regarding young working people and that bit with the muslims recently, there sure is a lot of unrest in this country.
Motorist Drives Through Crowd in Paris
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060407/ap_on_re_eu/france_job_p...
PARIS - A motorist drove through a crowd of students protesting the government's new youth jobs law Friday near the Sorbonne University, injuring
seven people.
Furious demonstrators overturned the car and tried to kick its windows out, while police in riot gear and helmets worked to disperse the crowd.
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.
Several dozen youths turned the car over and unsuccessfully attempted to drag the driver out before police and onlookers intervened.
Firefighters said seven people suffered light injuries.
French students have been protesting for weeks over a new law that will make it easier for companies to hire and fire people under age 26. While most
demonstrations have been peaceful, some have seen violence from a radical fringe.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I know. And the dirty punk rockers are making it even worse. France is getting weak.

Only thing good about the French is the toast and they sold us some of America for a good price.
I know the toast is not from France it is a joke.

There's the one car I see about a block away from my house that has a "BOYCOTT FRANCE" sticker in the window and american flags everywhere. I just
have to laugh. It's kinda like the whole "freedom fries" thing. Just completely ridiculous.

If there ever happens to be another war where they look to the US to bail them out of trouble again, I will become a concientious objector and refuse
to fight for the liberation of their country.

i spent about a week in france in 98, and my wife lived there for a year, but i don't really have an opinion of them one way or the other. as a fat
guy, i appreciate the food, but that's about it.

If you think the Fench from France are annoying, try shacking up with an Acadian.
On the original topic, this obviously seems to have alot more to do with an underlying anger than an objection to any one law/policy. It's hard to
get decent coverage of the actual protests/riots but from what I can see they don't seem to be particulary focused against any target. The anger
might be real and arguably legitimate but the powers that be will never feel the brunt of it, the disposessed will, look at Detroit 40 years later.
I also have to think that of all the countries in the world the French don't have all that much to riot in the streets about- it's not like their
government is engaging in warrantless wiretapping of it's citizens, flagrantly violating the Geneva convention, holding people captive for years
without the right to due process (habeus corpus, schmabeus corpus), drawing the condemnation of the united nations, kidnapping citizens of sovereign
countries such as Canada and flying them to be tortured oversees, sending it's own soldiers into battle zones without the equipment to protect
themselves and dropping the ball supporting soldiers and their families, exercising no accountability to the public or congress (magna carta, schmagna
carta) and funneling billions of dollars into the pockets of their friends while bankrupting the country and destroying social services... citizens of
a country like that have something to riot about.

Maybe Im just missing something then. I dont really understand all the hate towards France. Is it because theyre arrogant? Yeah... well so are
Americans. Just look at the "we're gonna have to bail your ass out of another war" comments. I know there was some backlash when the French said
that they wouldnt support a US invasion of Iraq, but they werent the only country saying that, and anyway... look at the results. Maybe they were
right that we shouldnt have gotten involved?
I dont really spend time dwelling upon France, so if someone could throw some info out there to enlighten me as to why I should hate them then maybe
I'll be able to understand. Overall it doesnt really matter to me in the long run though.
