#5 AP, wrong figures : the 2005 november Ramadan riots totaled 11 800 car BBQ (officially, which means 20 000+, since only insured initially torched vehicles are counted, while collaterally destroyed ones are ignored), 50 buildings (schools, police stations, warehouses,...), for a total of about 200 millions euros (that's what the insurances are gonna pay anyway, IIRC gvt will pay about 20 millions). Deathtoll was 2 to 8, according on how you count.

The CPE fun was much less drastic, it only meant a big loss of study time for the majority of non-striking students, and much less destructive; IIRC there was about 200 damaged cars during one Paris riot, for example, plus a few hundred (?) people getting their *ss kicked by the Youths(tm), while police stood by.

#7 The French youth celebrated their continuing unemployment by marching in the streets. I can understand a little of the students problem. There is nothing to strive for in France. What you get out of life is more or less determined by the station you were born into. Your life is nothing more than converting O2 into CO2 and food into excrement. You may, or more frequently may not, procreate. There is a reason why ennui is a French word. Life in France hasn't been worth a bucket of warm spit since Napoleon.

#8 There is nothing to strive for in France.

Well, it isn't rocket science to realize that with the way things are headed, they will be striving soon enough.

#10 So I guess the only way the French can celebrate a victory these days is to fight...the French?

1) 35 hour work week
2) Six weeks+ / year of vacation
3) Lifetime employment
4) Early retirement w. Full Pension!
5) 100 EUD / hr minimum wage - coming soon!
