I don't have a source, but I seem to have it in my brain that French labor laws typically limit work to 30 hours per week, with 4, maybe 5, weeks a year as paid vacation leave.
Personally, I would LOOOOOOOVE that.

Thanks, France!
i continue to support Patagonia for the good work that they do and for making the right decision in the end concerning Dean Potter and Delicate ARch. Basically, they waited until the facts were in before making a decision. Sounds like logic and reason over hysteria - and I support that.Quote:

I love the name of his new gallery in Springdale: "Sacred Earth"
How about "Scarred Earth"?
I also "boycott" the damaging simul-rap tradition at Morning Glory Arch. Buncha junior Dean Potters out there.

Didn't the crazy owner sell Dominos and used the money for the cult village? If so then Dominos is a go! I love the deep dish, but I haven't had dominoes for about 3 years.Quote:

I hope that's true -- see if you can find an article or something (I'm quite busy). Their pie is pretty good, and the guy runs the Domino's in Moab is a really good feller.Quote:

And for everyone else.... Sprint Cars are the fastest cars you will see on the oval track. A light chassis combined with huge horse powered alcohol-injected engines, create very exciting and competitive racing!

Go forth and eat.
What are you doing wasting the alcohol on the cars? It should be in a glass or stein, headed to my stomach, where it belongs.Quote:

Actually, my priority is made in: 1. Canada ('cuz that's where I am, despite Mr. Moon lumping me in with the non-ignorant-plebe-Americans ;) -- but thanks, Hank!) , 2. USA, 'cuz we're good neighbours, 3. anywhere else, and 4. China.
2 main reasons: I believe that China, like Walmart, is destroying the rest of the world's economy (I'll start ducking the firestorm now), and because of some of the dangerous shit that's been coming out of that country lately. If they start showing more responsibility and standards, we'll see...
In fact, it's a sad fact that cheap crap is being made everywhere. A simple thing: compare the quality of toys being sold today with those sold in the '60s and '70s. Cheap, cheap plastic crap. Everything from harmonicas to rubik's cubes, from toy trains to bolo bats to Slinky. Pretty well only a few of the big brands - Lego, Playmobil, Meccano, Brio - are still building to their original standards. Even venerable names like Tonka have succumbed to cheap creep. And sadly, people eat it up. I think they'd rather have lots of cheap junk that will wear out quickly than quality toys that will last. In today's world of newer-more-faster, their kids only have an attention span of 10 minutes anyway - then it's on to the next great (cheap) thing.
But I digress - and rant.
I will not donate to or buy products from those who pester me on the phone.
Of course :lol8:Quote:

Big Trucks; and I don't just mean the stock big trucks. I mean big trucks that some bozo had to make bigger by giving it a ridiculous lift, oversized tires, and those big ugly side-view mirrors that stick out a foot and a half. It's especially bad when the owner pushes a desk. It just affirms my belief that a big truck = little peepee
Rich, snobby, trendy people that are full of themselves and spend all their time shopping with their little dogs with their cell phones glued to their ear.
Luxury SUV's (Status Utility Vehicles); SUV's were meant to be beat up and used in a mixed on/off road environment, but instead are often driven by the people mentioned above.
Apple; I love how an Apple store has to display 10 of each item they sell to fill the store, because they only sell about 5 different products. I hate how the commercials perceive PC users to be geeks while Mac users are perceived to be hip and chique. My brother in law has a Mac, and he's as geeky as they come.
Douche Bag's and the brand names they represent (Abercrombie & Fitch, Ameican Eagle, Hollister, etc.)
Tobacco/Alcohol/Drugs; Being healthy and not addicted to something is fun.
J.G. Wentworth Commercials. They are the only commercials that make me change the channel when they come on. That old guy drives me nuts, and he says the same thing over and over and over again, while changing his tone of voice and the cheap, cheesy studio set.
McDonalds; Not a complete boycott. I did for several years, but have recently patronized the business when I have a craving for fries and a Coke.
That's all for now.
This is not really something you can "boycott,' but I will add:
Small town Virginia cops. Talk about the "tiny wee-wee crowd." Dunno how it works in Utah, but here in VA we elect (yes elect) the local sheriffs. So you always get a douchebag politician for sheriff who hires his halfwit friends to work for him. Bad system.
FYI, the State Troops in Virginia are top-notch. TOP notch.
Sheriffs here are elected here as well, at the county level. I would think voting for them would be better - if they suck get rid of them. But then I guess you do tend to get career dooshbags, I mean politicians. I know the previous sheriff of Weber County was a stand-up guy, and definitely not a politician. In high school we egged his wifes car and got caught. All he did was give us a ride home. Didn't even make us clean it up. Maybe he didn't like his wife?Quote:
