FUCK YOU PAY ME

“I come from a Po Family, I didn’t have much, but the Lord has been good to me” That is a line taken from a very popular Mississippi Gospel group the Canton Spirituals. The name of that song is ‘Mississippi Po Boy.’ It is amazing that the line taken from a song that was recorded many years ago is so relevant today not only in Mississippi, but the entire world. What makes me say that? I have been paying attention to the riots in France? Have you? Well, if you have I hope to get feed back from you about this post but if you are not I hope to pull your coat to what the young people in that country are dealing with.
First you should read if nothing but the bold and italicized parts of the article from The Washington Post, talking about what is taking place in that region. Then I want you to read EMAILS that I have received FROM YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN FRANCE. I have a very wide audience I guess getting drunk and fucking is something that the whole world can identify with. I was raised by a generation of strong individuals that knew that they could not count on the support of the government. They wanted to have better lives for themselves and their kids so they learned trades. They also made damn sure that their kids busted they ass in school because just like in France the government sees us as cheap labor. It’s the poor people from witch they rape our culture, and exploit our pain, and then they shine it up and sell it to the masses. Then leave us living in shit, and ask why don’t they get off their asses and do better for themselves.
The major issue is that the government is allowing business to put a sort of probation period on young people under the age of 26. This probation period is just like the probation period for a normal job in the states. But there is a difference (ah viva la difference, I had to do that) the probation period in France is for TWO YEARS. That means that they can be fired without reason any time in the 2 years they are working there. Because of this they can’t get apartments and they cannot take out loans of any sorts. The poor people don’t have any choices. The only people who this doesn’t bother are those who are well off.
You see this isn’t a black or white thing; this is a issue that concerns the have and have-nots. I think the world better be paying attention to France because every year the gap all over the world gets larger, the gap I am speaking of is between the poor and the rich. Poor people have nothing to lose, poor people look at your kids complaining about not wanted to eat their veggies and how they want the new ipod this makes poor people want to cut your fucking throats. You should be afraid… you should consider yourself lucky because this country was built on the fact that if we (America) want it bad enough we will fucking take it and make you praise our GOD you fucking savages…Have a happy day ;)


Strike Causes Disruptions Throughout France
Authorities Brace for More Protests Over Law on Youth Job Rights
By Molly Moore
Washington Post Foreign ServiceTuesday, March 28, 2006; 2:00 PM

PARIS, March 28 -- A nationwide strike cancelled flights, curtailed trains and buses and disrupted other public services throughout France Tuesday, as hundreds of thousands of students and workers staged the largest demonstrations in three weeks of protests against a pending labor law that will remove job protections from young people.
Union organizers estimated a national turnout of 2.7 million, with 700,000 of those in Paris. Police figures were much lower. Late in the day, as the protests were winding down, scattered skirmishes erupted here in the capital, leading police to use tear gas against youths hurling bottles and Molotov cocktails. Groups of masked hoodlums darted through the crowds, snatching cell phones and purses.
Authorities had dispatched 400,000 police across Paris in preparation for the protests.
An estimated one-third of the flights at Paris area airports were cancelled and virtually all other flights were delayed because of striking air traffic controllers, airport authorities said. Half of the suburban commuter trains in Paris were not running and strikers shut down one-third of the national train network, rail officials said. Commuter train, bus and streetcar services were limited in most French cities, according to early reports.
(Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's new labor law, due to take effect next month, would allow employers to fire workers under 26 during a two-year trial period, undercutting longtime job protections) that is part of the country's social safety net and have wide public support.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, a rival of de Villepin, on Tuesday proposed that the government put the measure on hold to permit talks with the unions.
Student and worker unions called protest marches throughout the day Tuesday in at least 100 French cities, with unions bussing thousands of people into Paris for the largest demonstration. Police positioned at train and subway stations in Paris detained numerous youths disembarking from suburban trains, witnesses said.
Law enforcement authorities blamed youths from poor, suburban neighborhoods for inciting violence at the conclusion of protest demonstrations in Paris last week. Both sides in the conflict viewed Tuesday's general strike and demonstrations as pivotal in the standoff, which threatens President Jacques Chirac's government and the presidential ambitions of de Villepin. Chirac has cancelled all scheduled visits outside of Paris this week to address the mounting crisis, according to French news reports.
The U.S. State Department issued a warning to Americans in Paris to be alert to demonstrations "in areas frequented by tourists," adding, "Some of the demonstrations may be announced, while others may be spontaneous. Police have responded by using tear gas."
On Monday, maintenance teams pried up the metal grills protecting trees and carted away loose paving stones -- anything that could be turned into a weapon in the Place de la Republique, the huge commercial square in central Paris where Tuesday's rally is scheduled to end. Police warned shop and restaurant owners to close their businesses and shutter their windows.
While street demonstrations are a fixture of French urban life, the protests that student unions began three weeks ago, now joined by labor unions, are the largest in years. Just over a week ago, an estimated 1 million people took part in demonstrations in 150 cities. Last week, hooded youths infiltrated the concluding rally of a march in the heart of Paris, setting cars ablaze, smashing shop windows and hurling stones, boards and garbage-container stands at riot police.
That violence and outbursts in other French cities have alarmed citizens and officials. The images of burning cars and bat-wielding vandals "is not at all helping us," said Clement Boudin, a 23-year-old student at the Sorbonne University and a leader of the National Student Union of France. He worked in the organization's cluttered headquarters Monday, juggling two phones and chain-smoking Marlboro cigarettes.
Even as his group condemned the violence, Boudin and many other student union officials have been reluctant to criticize the youths from poor suburban communities that have infiltrated the cause. "We can understand it to a certain extent -- that kind of violence from people completely excluded from the system," Boudin said. "They don't have any other means to express themselves."
Government officials said the new law is intended to encourage employers to hire more young people by denying them some of the inflexible job protections that cover older workers. Unemployment overall in France is just below 10 percent; among young people it is 23 percent, but rises to 40 to 50 percent in poor suburban areas.
A survey conducted by the Ipsos polling institute for the daily newspaper Le Monde and France 2 television said that 63 percent of respondents opposed the government's decision to stick by the new law. About half of those polled, however, said they could support the law with some modifications.

Here are the responses I got from people that I have communicated with that live in France… I have corrected the spelling and the tense of the words in some of them but I really didn’t want to change much at all.


Hi! Thanks for ur interest. It's not easy for me to explain it in English! But, I’ll try in some words, and practice my English in same time! :-) So, Government takes a plan which will allow firms to hire under-26s for a two-year trial before offering them a permanent job; they say this new contract will encourage firms to hire young people. But, what students are contesting is that, this First Employment Contract (CPE) will make it easier for businesses to sack young staff without justification during the 2 years trial. In the opinion of the French students, this situation will increase the feeling of insecurity. Businessmen are not always honest. They can profit from this opportunity and sack young people after used them. They can also offer them the same contract even after the trial period end!!! Since, students’ demonstrations are planned across the country; they also blocked access to the universities. But, today, the protest turns into violence and students have to challenge with police. In my personal opinion, this measure is a good think because students from another country (like me) could more easily find a job. The CPE is a way of getting young people out of their current impasse. French students must know that today the feeling of insecurity in job is not only in France but in many countries and it is better to have a job even if it's not permanent, than not to have job!!! I hope you understand me (i use to neglect my English this times! LoL) Bye and take care. Patricia from Orleans France.



Hey, it's a pleasure to meet people who don't trust the media. I hope I’ll be clear in my explanations: first, in France u can't dismiss people like in USA, in here it's really expensive and you get in real trouble w/ ur employees if u dismiss one of their co-worker. The CPE (Contrat Premiere Embauche) is a Contract First Job that means once u finish school (people less than 26) u can be hire but ur employer have 2 years to dispose of u (understand what i mean?), he got 2 years to fire u without any reasons. The problem is when young people freshly graduated have no real contract (long-term contract) u can't borrow money from the bank, u can't buy a house,.... it's a precarity for young people.. But people who create the riots are mainly people from extreme left-wing (socialism) and extreme right-wing (make it simple racists).. Voila, if u need clearer explanations feel free to ask, I’ll do my best to answer.. Keep on this way, very clever to ask to a French person. Don’t listen to ur fox news, in France we have listened this channel and journalists said u only have a 1/3 of the "info" already filtered by ur government.. Au revoir.

I don't know if we could talk about RIOTS!! There are troubles, of course, because a high number of universities (colleges if you want) are on strike!!! They express against a new kind of employment contract for the youngster under 25 years that the French Government (specially the Prime Minister) want to launch!! But, by the sides of unions of students and workers, things went wrong and skidded, there people who broke stores and struggle with policemen (they weren't students or workers sometimes). I hope that things gonna calm down because it still 1 month now and students didn't pass their exams and risk to do their class again next year, it would be really sad for them to lose a year! I guess that Government won't give up!!

Hey man, Thanks 4 the request, the thing is about the CPE, the minister put this shit 2 create employment for young people but without a real security cause it's like 2 years contract where u can get fire anytime for no reason, and u cannot take an apartment with this kind of contract. I'm not really concern by this 4 the moment but still fighting 4 the rights of young people who can't start working in real conditions. France is in Crises, would be better to get away from here and working abroad where u can get a real chance to grow up!! That's my point of view see ya.

Yo- France
