Forum Post: Sidi Bouzid, had a university degree but no work. To earn some money he took to selling fruit and vegetables in the street without a licence. When the authorities stopped him and confiscated his produce, he was so angry that he set himself on fire.

well then, you suck, because Sidi Bouzid is a PLACE, not a person, and again, this was in Tunisia, a north african craphole and his university degree was gotten at the local goat herders shack

Right again, Bill 1102inf2. Here's the whole paragraph. (My intention was to gather opinions on the right to work here.)_The riots and demonstrations that have swept through Tunisia during the past 10 days also began with a small incident. Twenty-six-year-old Mohamed Bouazizi, living in the provincial town of Sidi Bouzid, had a university degree but no work. To earn some money he took to selling fruit and vegetables in the street without a licence. When the authorities stopped him and confiscated his produce, he was so angry that he set himself on fire.

Easier to sell prostitutes than drugs, now, so I hear. The "product" comes back, for one.

Kids can't sell lemonade without a license either. Remember when everyone was running around suing over dumb shit?? This is why you can't do that anymore. If you want to do business in this country, crack a book and learn how to do it legally. If someone gets so mad about something, they think self immoliation is a good idea, I think there was a lot more going on than him being mad 'cause the cops shut down his illegal operation.
