Sarkozy and the French Research

This is an english translation of the popular french video "Sarkozy et la Recherche" posted on youtube by GEPetcompagnie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyBXfmrVhrk

* Brief context explanations *

Since many months, the french government have prepared (and voted) many reforms relating to french research organism (the CNRS) and university teachers. The scientific community strongly disagree with those reforms. The 22th of january 2009, Sarkozy made an unusually aggressive and infamous speech against french researchers, during which he stated many fallacious facts to justify the reforms proposed by the government. This video is a reaction to this speech.

@gaybot9000 We don't have any politicians in France anymore, only ex-lawyers who are financed by corporations... Sad but true, politics are dead, they're only merchants.

On compatit tous: des docteurs en rhétorique Kantienne, ou encore ce spécialiste de la sémantique chez les polémistes sous la république florentine entendu sur Radio France. Quand je paye un truc, je me dis que la TVA sert à payer un mec qui étudie la sémantique chez les polémistes sous la république florentine.

Ces chercheurs qui refont le monde en remuant un café moins fumant que leurs théories, ça me coûte un fric fou et ça nourrit pas la planète.

Erf... This comment is a joke, right ? No ? Oh my god !

"Useful reaserchers are in medicine"; others are "useless"; "people are not be fed with Einstein useless theory" o_O There really exist some idiots in the world to say such absurdities? I can't believe it!

Medecine alone, without the help of other fields of science like physics, chemistry, quantum mecanics, mathematics, what a BRILLIANT idea, let's try this ! This is so funny, really, congratulations for this awsome comment 29bxe78 !

"Popular french video" some fool says. A totally unknown video can only be "popular" in an intellectual, useless microcosmos of civil servants, eager to keep their comfortable prerogatives! Passing life searching about "History of farming amongst Middle Ages in south Slovenia" or "paradigma in the 4th dimension" has never helped the hungry to get fed.

Useless researchers are those who complain: the useful ones in medicine for instance have too much REAL work, to waste time in strikes and riots.

when 53% of a country vote an insurance saleman into power, isn't it so much of a surprise?? no offence meant...

by the way, you should set this as a video response to the original french language video. that way there will be a link on the original video that leads directly to this video, and so more people will see it.
