... The easiest and best solution for Hollande is to just tax the less affuent 125 percent of their income to make up for the shortfall from the more successful. If they can't pay, then confiscate and sell their homes and cars. ...Voila! ... problem solved.

The proposal is part of France's "cultural exception" policy that protects French entertainment industries and other creative sectors from outside competition, where the real talent is. France is scared shitless of real talent. Hollande's solution is to tax it. Mimes are forever.

...Ho-hum, ... move along folks, nothing here to see, ... just another French FAIL.

... As French rapidly fades into history, making way for English as the universal language.

This is the world you built, now go live in it.

... First Hollande's camel gets eaten, and now this!

Stalled economy, hidden bank accounts -- oh my....

Channel TF1 and production company Adventure Line Productions jointly made the decision to cancel the season. "It is not really a question,” said TF1 spokesman Alexander Petit following the death of Gerald Babin, 25. “Everyone is being flown back to France.”

There is speculation in France that Lagarde could be placed under formal investigation for abusing her authority; her position at the IMF could be in jeopardy. ... Fuck France

A polite way of saying a lot of people were killed because the stupid frog pilot was probably fucking the nigger cleaning lady (or taxi driver) when he should have been sleeping. Fuck France

Calling France a "sad" place led by an uninspired government where people are "fed up," Depardieu said he has paid 85 percent tax on his revenues in 2012 and that over 45 years of working and running businesses in France he had paid 145 million euros ($190 million) to state coffers.

An interesting analysis of French military adventurism. Please discuss.

“They get one hour for breaks and lunch, they talk for three and they work for three. I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that’s the French way!”

A small Boko Haram unit, led by muhamad ben Armon, is suspected of having staged the abduction. Walid ben Bestinus is reported to have been heard shouting: 'Allah akbar' upon hearing the news.

The owner of a Subway shop in Angers, France is under fire for only offering a Valentine's Day special to heterosexual couples.

Degenerate French swine are polluting Europe's food supply with what they knew all along was horse meat. Not that I really care about Europe's food supply. They could eat dog manure in their lasagne as far as I care. I just like calling the French degenerate swine.

Guess what? AIRBUS, contrary to some imbeciles (i.-e.bean counters) in Chicago, had a plan "B" ready, just in case. The bonus is that they brillantly avoid the traps that BOEING-FAA had in store for them.

Filthy collabo frogs should also be forced to pay this family compounded interest. Is there no end to the fascist-loving Flinch's greedy and underhanded treatment of its Joos?

A voir dans l'ordre Inverse chronologique (de 5 à 1). Mais attention, c'est pour les hommes seulement. C'est du brutal.

Admittedly she's easier on the eyes than the First Ape. And certainly has that well worn comfy look of a few hundred guys on the vagometer. Same old story - show me a 'socialist' and I'll show you a hypocrite every time. Bet she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch

Amnesty International is demanding an investigation into various brutal incidents in Mali, in which the blood-drenched hands of the French are evident. Hollande is worse than Hitler.

The French have been lying. But then, what do you expect? Mali is turning into Operation Turquoise, Part II. The French campaign in Mali has seen indiscriminate bombings which have killed more civilians than terrorists, torture of suspects, and "disappearances" of others. Considering the number of French troops there and their usual behavior, when it's all over, the number of sexual assault reports will probably be astronomical. Mostly boys, no doubt. The French should be hauled before the ICC for yet another in their almost endless series of crimes against humanity.

" your decisive action is not only in the interest of France, but quite frankly the United States and everyone "

Malian military source says troops met no resistance as they entered Timbuktu and were working towards securing the town

Mali is not being fought for France, although French citizens are involved. Mali is a war that is being fought for civilization, and should be supported by civilized nations in a cooperative manner. The issue is whether the US should provide transportation and equipment to assist the French as Aid, to an ally in a common cause, or whether the US should just take no side and charge France for the assistance.

Captured journalist executed in retaliation for raid, as a warning to France

During his election campaign, President Hollande positioned himself as the anti-war candidate, and became the first of NATO allies to pull combat troops out of Afghanistan. But after his election, he is sending in troops to Mali in Africa to fight islamists. Will others support France? In Britain, the consensus is that any British support for the French mission should be kept to a minimum, and that on no account would the Government sanction the deployment of British “boots on the ground” to back the French effort. Similar messages are coming from other Nato allies, including Washington.
