Why the outrage, the tire guy is right.   French labor law is a joke, it's hard to imagine anybody in their right mind wanting to open a factory there.

Based on that description french workers are still twice as productive as american workers.
Does that mean you need to be certifiable to open a factory in the US ?

North Korea to grant mobile internet access to visitors, but not citizens

EDIT:

8 LAPD officers involved in shooting

So these guys fired well over 100+  rounds,102 hit one vehicle but only 2 hit the target!
They suck at marksmanship.

What about the 450 million JHP .40 rounds AND the 175 million rounds of .223 Homeland Security is buying for "domestic use" ?

Go into any sporting goods shop around the country and they are all sold out of ammo for months.
Yesterday in Redding,California a store was supposed to receive a truckload and 100's of people lined up (many took the day off work/school)...the truck never arrived.

Very interesting case, considering the video where she acted erratic in an elevator and that it, supposedly, shouldn't be possiuble to access the roof without triggering an alarm.

@ bolg: Actually it was in 1814 so officially the bicentennial will be in 2015 but the party started in 1812 so we're commemorating it this year.

Have to say that PETA is a bit too extreme to even be taken serious.

Iran deploys sniper teams in Tehran to battle 'mutant' rats

Quote:

They seem to have had a genetic mutation," Ismail Kahram, an environmental adviser to the city council, said. "They are bigger now and look different. These are changes that normally take millions of years of evolution," he told the website Qudsonline.ir last month. He said cats are now smaller than some of Tehran's rats, which can weigh up to 5kg.

"Student"  in this case = not smart enough to give out handguns so criminals don't know who has one.

Shotgun's in general are great for home protection, but why a 20g single shot?  Clearly a 12g pump action is best suited for this.

Kennesaw is considered one of, if not the, safest citys in America.  The crime rate, although not huge to begin with, went to near zero when they passed the "Must Own" law. 

The anti-gun crowd, proven wrong again, sued over the constitutionality of the ordinance.  They lost.
