Didn’t you just LOVE seeing this? I honestly think it made my week. It’s not that I’m surprised by it mind you, it’s just that I soooo love it when I’m right and I get to see it in print!
Of course the French will just vote a new government as soon as anyone tries to mess with their precious laziness, and they will spiral further into the abyss.
I’m crying buckets of tears for them (NOT).
ROTFL!!!

It’s almost sad that the Socialist regime couldn’t afford their “pro-labor” idiocy even with subsidies from the United States. And how is it better for the proletariat if they work less and get more for it? Doesn’t that kind of make them bourgeois?

Too funny.
And speaking of French Laziness…I’m sure you already heard, but someone french wrote a book with no verbs. An entire novel, not a single verb. Which means, no action. Which I think pretty much captures the french.

deb: the french have always been self-destructive. you might say it’s sort of a national creed..
g.dot: bingo!
abigail: funny, that!

Any of you guys ever met a Frenchman? Or a French woman? Or a French child?
Just wonnerin’.

I’ve met/know a Frenchman (actually several) and a French child, though not a French woman.
What’s your point?

Well, from my experience of the French nation I wouldn’t dismiss every single one of them as lazy and dirty. But if you have, and you want to, I guess that’s fair enough.

Would I characterize every single French person as lazy? No. This is a commentary on the French attempting to change an established (and successful) enterprise standard. I’m not surprised that the attempt failed, and I can laugh at the entire nation for trying something so stupid.
