LIVE THREAD: French Riots
April 4, 2006 | FR

Posted on 04/04/2006 10:33:28 AM PDT by Peach

Post your observations here.

Richard Miniter was on FNC and said that even if an employee is caught on videotape stealing from their employers, they cannot be fired.

Ah, Normandy, we LOVED Normandy. The people there seemed to love the Americans, remember being occupied and our soldiers there. It is clean, small, wonderful WW2 history. Have a great time.

I just don't get it! Why are they behaving this way? There is really only one answer and that is that they are a bunch of idiots. It almost reminds me of those other Idiots, those "hooded youths." The horse is out of the barn. I hope you have been to France because France as we knew it, even as rude as it was, is now a cesspool.

40% are without jobs? Well, WHOSE fault is that?

The governments. Prior to the new law, an employer would actually have to have an employee on video stealing in order to fire him (not just because of bankruptcy).

Because of the extreme difficulty in firing bad employees, business owners have been reluctant to hire anyone at all, even to expand a business because they never know who they might get stuck with.

My information comes from a co-worker who is French (now a US citizen), who used to own a business in France. He left the country because of laws like that. He also got tired of the French government letting every third world turd into the country.

The new law will actually reduce unemployment because business owners will be able to fire non-performing workers during those first two years. Businesses will not be so hesitant to expand the workforce. French socialist will have to get out of bed before noon if they want to keep their jobs.

No, actually Mr. Semmens confirmed that it is a parody.

"ROFL! I'll open some wine but does it HAVE to be French wine :-)"

Actually if you read the label on the bottle of wine, there is another good laugh.

So any Ny, Ca, Or, Wa, Aussie or Chileian wine will do!

This is going to happen here if we don't make those idiots on the hill do their job and deport illegals.

I doubt it.
You know why? The illegal Mexicans are willing to work. And most of 'em work hard - much harder, in fact, than typical American lardasses. In France, it is the French citizens, for the most part, who are rioting: Lazy-ass dependents on the cradle-to-grave welfare state.

"caught on videotape stealing from their employers, they cannot be fired"

Sounds like the place my husband works. The Union fights to keep people that were caught stealing from being fired. And yes, on videotape. True story.

Ironically, six months ago Muslim immigrants rioted because of massive unemployment in France. Now the French politicians are doing something about it and white French people are rioting.

This is a case study in the basic economic truth that "progressive" laws that "protect" workers - like lifetime job protection - are really about protecting white workers from competition with minorities and immigrants.

"The fruits of Socialism, and its concomitant, multi-culturalism, unfurling before our eyes."

Of course. It's also a product of the concerted, organized attack on American manhood over the past 40 years.

The attack has been on our boys. Using primarily the public education system, and Hollywood, the majority of modern American boys will never grow up to be traditional American men.

For socialism to prevail new American men can never believe in the ideas of honor, dignity and "rugged individualism". The "new American man" is a metrosexual, effiminate, childlike, dependent, lacking Protestant values and believes in the new doctrine of "sacrificing self for the larger good of the state".

"Rugged individualism" and Protestantism are toxic to socialism. Those are the values which prevented socialism from taking greater hold in the 1930's. They have been targeted for destruction since the end of WWII.

The are having success. Never has Protestantism been so weak in effecting American culture and politics. Never have American men been so effeminate and unwilling to fight for principle.

Nicely put. Union rules tend to have a similar effect in that they make things great for a relatively small number of workers, while making them worse for much larger numbers of others.

Diaper heads, they have manure for brains. I wish Chirac the courage to rid these punks and export their ass to Syria or someplace that needs barn cleaning folk. Chirac, talk to Australia about being true to your country. Love it or get the hell out! Its time for Chirac to show some Tough Love!
