cuz we're not a bunch of prez cheerleaders ?

plus, it's been two or three days since our government hasn't surrendered, so they need the practice...we have a reputation to uphold!

and our local commies needed their sunday walk,so....

but, really, the bottom line is that France has been led by a socialist government for years and is now realizing that there is no free lunch...
The same people that squandered our wealth are now crying like babies about pensions ? too late, pinko m*th*r f*ck*rs !!

The sad thing is, it's because of crap like this that a Lot of the large multi nationals are thinking about pulling out of France completely,
The unions are causing more damage that help,
I currently work for a large Multi National and we are in the process of Downsizing, except in France, where the union is blocking the lay off of 20 people, the end result is we have decided to pull out of France completely, so in place of 20 people being laid off, 63 will be out of work in July, I know the layoffs suck, But the union has won again!

I have never been able to go to France without someone there being on strike, It's almost true for Italy as well.

Apart from pi**ing off the poeple, I don't see what they are going to acomplish with these strikes... it has a history for not working.

Actually, there are lessons to be learned from Italy - Im not sure if you could call what they do, "work."  ;)
