Au revoir job security

[Pierre-Henri]

The 5 millions of public employees still have complete job security. This explains why 70 % of young French want to work for the state.

France is divided in many ways : public employees vs private sector ; unemployed people vs workers ; people with good jobs vs working poors ; people who can afford a home vs people who can't ; baby-boomers who spent the debt vs younger people who will have to repay it ; urban areas vs countryside ; downtowns vs ghettoes ... we're all sit on a big powder keg.

GOOD NEWS, FRENCHIES! Due to the fact that Frenchies have finally come around to embrace the new world order and finally elect someone who's going to 'make your economy better' by introduting something called "capitalism", Bill O'Reilly decided to end the boycot of France. YIPEEE! Now I can get a good bottle of Merlot for a reasonable price for once....or maybe not.

to paraphrase the great pundit...
if an animal like o'reilly doesn't hate sarkozy, he must be doing something wrong! :p

Ha ha ann coulter also said since Sarko came in she is has taken back every bad thing she has ever said. That and the getting rid of the freedom fries, shows some good progress on US French relations :D

Ha ha ann coulter also said since Sarko came in she is has taken back every bad thing she has ever said.ann coulter would have to be deaf-mute to stop saying bad things...

the funny thing is that all the brouhaha was due to the fact that france didn't believe...

1) that iraq had WMD

2) that invading iraq would be a bad idea

doesn't being 1000% right on these two points deserve any credit? no, what it takes to get the respect of folks like coulter or o'reilly is elect a little president with a little dick and a big complex about it. because face it, that's sarko in a nutshell.

That just says it all doesn't it?

[Douai]

I think it's good that the U.S. hates France a little less now, but I don't think it makes him look good if O'reilly and Coulter like him.Those two say pretty outrageous things.YankBastard, you like Bill O'Reilly?

[YankBastard]

YankBastard, you like Bill O'Reilly?

There's some views of his that I agree with, some that I don't.
