All I could do was laugh. ...as people return to work after a summer break during which the government authorized the state...You know your country's in a sorry state when the government is more efficient and productive than the citizens.

Our country can't say much in that area right now either, collectively we voted for the conservative too.

Yes, correct, heart, ajblaise shouldn't complain.

I think it sucks, by the way.

Yeah, and I'm not surprised about what has come from it.

I'm not surprised that the French wouldn't stand for it. We tend to revolt at the drop of a hat every time a tree looks at us in a funny way hahahah

But I believe there's been similar objections raised to Phorm...
