What about the French!Just like everyone else, I’ve noticed they’ve been crashing and burning over the past months. They had the Muslim riots and now they have the ‘WAHHHHH, I don’t wanna have to work for a living WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH’ riots.
Having worked my entire life I am less than sympathetic for those who want to be given something for nothing when they are capable of working. If you are legitimately unable to work - that’s one thing. If you are just lazy - that’s a whole other creature to me.
In their usual obnoxious hauty way they have looked down their long collective noses at the Americans who have put work and ambition above living and loving and drinking wine by the sea (blah, blah, blah).
Reality seems to be imposing itself on their little fantasies of socialism supporting their living, loving and drinking wine by the sea lifestyles. Someone has to support it. Someone has to pay for it. The money has to come from somewhere and the coffers are drying up.
They really don’t like it at all.
In an odd way it reminds me of some girls friends I’ve had over the years who were always looking for their sugga daddies and got really dramatic when things didn’t go the way they wanted it to go. They would pout and tear up and get their nails done.
Two observations about the French and their riots. Well, maybe three.
One. When the Muslims were rioting there were no police to be found and Chirac was shaking in his boots. When somebody could find him. The riots just finally pettered out.
Now with their own youth rioting - they are out there with bells on fighting back the crowds.
What gives with that?
Two. Has any socialist society ever succeeded? Why is it any surprise that the French society is falling apart? Socialism has never worked as a form of government. It undermines any motivation to work and contribute to the economy (ie: the French youth rioting even as we speak).
Why then does our liberal left want so badly to move our government towards socialism? It doesn’t make any sense.
 
Three. (I knew there’d probably be more than 2 points here). Chirac sure is upset about the French language becoming obsolete.
Chirac - the French have tried to dominate Europe since the middle ages and before. They have failed. You have not won a war against the Britist since the War of the Roses (1660).
We will never know if you had actually fought a war if you might have won. But you’ve sat back in your arrogance and let others fight your wars for you.
If the French youth get what they want, France will cease to exist altogether. No society can function without SOMEONE footing the bill.
This, dear France, is why you don’t dominate Europe.
And so, the Brits win. Again.
au revoir

This is why it is so important that we avoid becoming a ‘nannystate’.

Beth, Excellent points. Chirac is just like all other rulers of old
France. Scared not to pacify rioters less = French Revolution II.
Also, I lived in Brussels, Belgium for 7 years in the 90’s and went
to Paris often. There is a section outside of Paris infested with
Muslim immigrants. It was like a gang-run city-within-a-city when I
was there. Today, they have a “mayor”, “police”, and their own laws.
The Paris cops do not even go there - It’s called the no-go zone in
Paris.
I trust we will not let that happen here, but it seems that some
would like to. Check this out: http://nathanbradfield.blogspot.com/2006/03/ole-glory-insulted-on-american-soil.html

France: “We Have Nothing to Fear but Work Itself”…
But why are train, plane, subway and bus employees not showing up to work? Why are elementary and high school teachers not showing up for work? Why aren’t the Eiffel Tower employees working? It seems to me this is one of the few jobs that might actua….
