There is a definitely cultural difference between the USA and some
other countries (many in Europe) where people have a long running
expectation that the government is responsible for providing
everything for them. It's already hard enough in the USA (esp in
Cali) to fire someone who's lazy and in
But the law allows employers to dismiss people under 26 at any time
during a 2-year trial period and that would destroy job security,
critics say.
"I would say 'no' (to a job offered under the law) because I would have
no security for two years," Jerome Desprol, 24, told Reuters.

I believe the riots are because no reason will be needed, actually. Your
prejudices are showing.

I believe it has to do with the French government giving employers more
control over the firing of workers.
How dare they let employers fire poor performing employees! Let's riot!

Just saw a few live clips on the news.
Apparently there are riots going on in France right now.
Something to do with massive unemployment amongst the immigrant
population, and the normal French population as well. The riots are
currently localised in a small area of Paris.

took another look tonight, I mean, it would not be the first story that did
not get coverage... I saw some references to cartoons, yes, some arrests,
but anything about riots is either in publications I know to be
far-right-wing (canadafreepress) or in blogs that in my limited sample seem
to be vir
Yes, I had a similar experience once.

Reminds me of when I was chatting with a fellow from South Africa back
in the '80s. He was white and I was asking him about his perspective
on the black apartheid problem and his response was that there really
wasn't a problem. And that in fact, he rarely even saw blacks.

what does "doesn't see a problem with coverage" mean? I don't see any. Is
that good because the riots aren't happening, or good because he doesn't
think they should be covered, or?

I have a friend in Copenhagen that I've been in email contact with and
he doesn't see any problem with coverage and he just flew back from
LA.
hmmm if you search "danish riots" on Google this thread is the number one
hit. If you search Google News you get a lot of blogs and a single column at
the Chicago Sun-Times. As low as my opinion of mainstream media might be, I

Just a short comment, I don't have time for a full debate, but given
what the places in france looked like, this may be more akin to the
race riots in 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1970. To call them modern ghettos -
using the more americanized version of the term, and slums is an
understatement. The places
