Is it just me or does there seem to be street riots in France every time you turn on the news? Why are the students always so mad? :/

trolling in the street is a hobby :)))) Now you understand why there was a revolution in France and why we cut our king's head few centuries ago! eheheheheh
madness!
well a bit
The government says : WE LIVE LONGER, WE HAVE TO WORK MORE.
I don't know if French people have to be considered as lazy persons but they ve been fighting for a long time in order to enjoy a decent retirement time. (dont know if that's clear).
What the goverment doesn't want to hear - and thats why we are going on strikes and making riots - is that there are other ways to finance the pensions :
-Helping the young people finding a job (actually, about 24% of the young people, who are under 28 are unemployed)
-Taxing the capital revenus, i.e. benefits made in the banking/financial world are not taxed like the working revenus. It represents loads of money !
- Since the goverment is a right-wing party, they are being friendly to the rich people :
Rich people cannot be taxed on more than 50% of their revenus. That's a new law called the "bouclier fiscal" (fiscal shield).
Moreover, there has been a huge scandal during summer among the government featuring one of the minister and Sarkozy himself. That would be too complexe to expand here but basically, that person was doing fiscal fraud in order not to pay taxes, and the governement knew it but was protecting her because she gave loads of money to Sarkozy to finance his political campaign during the 2007 elections.
I don't know if I've been very clear but to summarize, the government does not want to hear the people who will willing to have a fairer system, where the rich people would contribute along with the poor people. We want our government to stop scaming with rich people... There are many other ways to finance our pensions system but the goverment doesn't want to use them, because it concerns rich people...
e : concering the students, some of them are prolly happy to skip school time but they are also worried about their future, as much as the working persons are. As I said above, the unemployment rate is quite high for the young people, and Sarkozy + his asslicking ministers don't seem to care about it... That's why you got riots...
Hf reading :P
Selon toi, le problème des retraites ne concerne pas les lycéens ? J'admets qu'une partie d'entre eux (qu'on ne peut pas quantifier) bloque les lycées pour ne pas avoir cours mais l'autre partie, même si elle ne saisit probablement pas tous les enjeux du problème des retraites a compris que notre gouvernement protégeait les riches, les revenus du capital, tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin à l'argent, et que ça ne l'embêtait en rien de taper sur les travailleurs...
Nous foutons des gens dans la merde ? Pour la bonne cause, peut-être... Nous ne proposons rien en retour ? Et les syndicats, ils se touchent ? Ils ne demandent qu'à négocier, mais ce gouvernement aveugle ne veut pas, pas plus que d'organiser un référendum... Evidemment, ils savent bien quelle sera la réponse...
Travailler plus pour gagner plus cest de la merde mais Branler rien et raler cest pire :)

France, anyone?
You can't ban the reality, but you can fight it.
The problem is, people everywhere in Europe have lost contact to their roots and were brainwashed by media to believe multiculturalism is right. Go in yourself, think about it freely for once and find out the truth. What does connect you to the Black man next door? Except for language maybe. Is there anything at all?
I had some friendly relations to foreigners, but just couldn't really read their minds, we didn't share the interests nor sight on the world. Just something I feel with my own kind.
I'll elaborate more on this tomorrow, because I'm off for my bed now since I've got to go to university very early.
he was mad
