"It's not fishing, it's a holocaust!"

That's it. They have gone totally insane. May Iran nuke them. And you dot not fish frogs DA substitute Lionel Pascal, they are batracians, not fishes you idiot.

Maybe we need to liberate the frogs from the frogs.

So what's the beef? Because there are riots in France the entire legal system is supposed to abandon its docket and do .. what exactly?

There were riots in Detroit in 1967 (actual for-real riots where hundreds of people died and entire city blocks were burned up), but the county court in rural Adams Couty, Wisconsin kept trying people for fishing without a license. And (horrors!) the Wisconsin state police had the gall to spend their time stopping speeders on the Interstate.

Ladies, life goes on everywhere, even in the midst of chaos. And what passes for riots in France is not even close to real chaos. Only children, narcissists (and apparently neocons) believe the world should stop revolving, eveyone should drop what the yare doing, and immediately focus all their attention on me, Me, MEEEE.

Take a deep breath, calm down, throttle the hysteria, and think for a few minutes before you post more stuff like your "frog trial" article.

The only folks you will attract are hormonal college boys like the "nuke france" guy.

If only... Boy it was hard during these times. Did you ever heard of "irony" pinhead ?

Big Bill,

What's the problem with you? I tend to think going after people who tried to earn money by selling frogs they caught themselves is less of a priority than jailing the rioters. But as we've seen those past three weeks, priorities in France are a little mixed up. For example, it's more important to throw to prison a policeman who kicked one of these "youths" than keeping the "victim" of the policeman under key. Indeed, while the policeman was in prison, the young banlieusard, freed, started throwing stones again, at firefighters this time.

And what passes for riots in France is not even close to real chaos.

May I ask where you live?

Hello!? Will you calm down? This was supposed to be funny. Geez. Only Liberals can be that hysterical.

Take a deep breath, calm down, throttle the hysteria, and think for a few minutes before you post more stuff like your "frog trial" article.

Uh-uh, I post whatever I want to post. If you didn't get that I was not asking the world to stop - and by the way, I won't stop for you, You, YOUUUU either - but rather heading for a good laugh, then you sure have a problem.

The main issue here with this "frog trial", as you call it, is that a DA substitute could call that a "holocaust". But if you still think I'm the one being hysterical, and you don't mind the killing for eating of a couple of thousands of frogs being called a "holocaust" (I don't eat frogs myself fyi, but I have other priorities than defending frogs, like defending my family) then I will assume you must be a member of such freaky, hateful organization as PETA.

The only folks you will attract are hormonal college boys like the "nuke france" guy.

Or obviously people like you.

Well, PETA did the same thing:

Chicken farming is holocaust ? They have gone insane. Le gauchisme est une maladie mentale like I like to say.

I occasionally enjoy frog legs at a cajun restaraunt. Poor Big Bill must be off his lithium again. Even libs usually notice irony, but not full blown nutcases.

Well, I'm a frog and never ate frogs, and will never. Escargots I like, I throw away the slug and eat the butter full of garlic. Then I go speak face to face with people I don't like.

DUFF!!
"Then I go speak face to face to people I don't like." LOL! Now I know why the French eat snails! (Actualy, I LOVE escargot, especially when consumed at the Berghoff in Chicago.)

Pretty funny Carine, keep us posted on the frog filching fiends of France!!

Aren't the edible frogs in france an endangered species? The hunting season is short and I believe you can only catch for personal consumption. Sic PETA on their sorry asses! And order the big meaty bull frogs from a cajun farmer.

VALERIE!

You don't eat escargots in Chicago, you eat pizza, polish food or steack. If you want to eat escargots, go to Burgundy. But then, you are not sure not to have your car burned when you leave the restaurant.

The big wine snail escargot grow in California. A friend of mine would pluck them from his tomato plants, let them feed on corn meal to clear out the dirt and them serve them with his tomatoes. Seemed a just fate.

Well your irony would be fine and I realy laughed. But I've just read some quote which put me at the hedge...And I couldn't calm down. Comenting on the Bove's 4 month jail's verdict Pierre Taribo, the leader-writer of l'Est Républicain ( a regional paper) said:
"From now on in France, it was better to burn cars than to mow GMO".
How is it possible to write such stupidity and to pretend to work as a journalist? Did he think that he was bloging? When you think F.ex. that the ransack of one field costed 25 millions of €, the equivalent of one year research! The very problem is that we have nowhere to send Bové out of the country. Sorry...I forgot his father's origin: luxembourg.
For myself, I'm waiting for GM Frogs. I think that when you'll can eat it by Fouquet's it will be fashionable and then French will eat it with great pleasure.
Till that moment come, I'll have to convert myself to Islam (by force of course) or I'll got my green card!

Jean-Paul,

True journalism in France is dead, as far as I'm concerned. Of course it is stupid. But most journalists are left-leaning, hence would tend to agree with anti-progress, anti-GMO, anti-freedom, anti-American Bové.

What seems astounding to me is that more and more, France seems to be a land in which laws are neither respected, nor really enforced. Some French disagree with something (McDonald's, GMO, "the rich"): they go destroy what they disagree with, regardless of the law. So what, it's not their property? They "think" it's dangerous for "them". They "think" it's unfair to "them". They have a "good reason" for doing what they're doing. And most of the time, what are journalists and/or politicians doing? They tell us we have to "understand them". They are making the victims of those outlaws the very reason for their irresponsability.

Better get a green card, indeed. And quickly.

"How is it possible to write such stupidity and to pretend to work as a journalist?"

It's not only possible, it's the norm. Except three or four that are very good, they are all slugs (limaces en Francais, the stuff you find in escargots).
French media is just pure crap, excuse my French.

"The very problem is that we have nowhere to send Bové out of the country"

Well, maybe you can put some Genetically Modified marijuana in his pipe, a very potent one, then he will be gone for a while with Alice in Wonderland.

You're both right for journalists... I know... I was just saying like this. The worth is that they don't manipulate french, they just write what french want to hear!
Concerning the choice between Green Card and Green Flag, don't worry I've already made up my mind. Well if right now I was american citizen, I could deduct my tax of my pledge to WNCU (jazz radio). But I'm not yet. And the fact is that in France, I realy have no "prefered radio" to pledge for. So that last thing makes me willing to go west.
By the way, if anyone of you lives in States, could she or he explain to me how I can get a Reagan Revolution T.shirt on www.thoseshirts.com,I've written to them, and they don't sell abroad (i.e. to europe)? Thank You

The last I heard, France was being overrun by American frogs which threatened to destroy the ecology. Now they're prosecuting people for making thousands of frogs useful? What a conflicted society!

"The last I heard, France was being overrun by American frogs which threatened to destroy the ecology."

Yep, they are responsible for global warming an were sent by Karl Rove by Fedex. Damn American frogs!

I just found this link via a random google search...and I have to disagree with the defendant. Burning cars is in fact BETTER than fishing frogs!! Heaps more fun!!
