Entitlement

Can someone please help me understand this situation. France has the stupidest law on the planet that prohibits business owners from firing workers under the age of 25 until they complete a two-year grace period. Therefore, no business owners are hiring workers under 25, which has led to a record 23 percent unemployment. The government has tried to combat the unemployment by repealing the law that is keeping the students from finding a decent job. The way I see it, millions of students are rioting and protesting "the man" to keep from losing the jobs they can't seem to get in the first place. Am I misreading this?
I think that I am entitled to be a professional basketball player. I have a pretty decent shot. A couple of years ago I made 193 out of 200 free throws. That's better than Shaq. So what if I can't run very fast, or shoot a layup with my left hand, or even touch the bottom of the net when I jump. Any suggestions on how I might protest this situation?

This I like



The Ags are a terrible offensive team, but I guess you don't have to be all that great when you hold your opponents to 40 a game. I think Gillespie is for real. He and Fran need to have a sit down.
I won't get too excited about this win because there is a good chance Texas will beat us by 20 in the conference tournament.
