Fire in a Russian mall kills 64.  I saw the video of how the fire started, and holy shit, it made WWII-era Japanese buildings seem fireproof by comparison.  When your number is up, your number is up, and if you were in that room, your number was probably up.

French waiter says firing for rudeness is 'discrimination against my culture'

Guillaume Rey filed a complaint after being dismissed from a Canada restaurant for being 'aggressive, rude and disrespectful'


A French waiter fired for being "aggressive, rude and disrespectful" says his behaviour wasn't out of line – he's just French.

Guillaume Rey, who worked at a Vancouver restaurant on Canada's Pacific coast, filed a complaint with British Columbia's Human Rights Tribunal against his former employer, claiming "discrimination against my culture".

The restaurant, operated by Cara Operations, accused Rey of violating its code of conduct and said he persisted in his behavior despite verbal and written performance reviews.

In alleging discrimination Rey said French culture just "tends to be more direct and expressive".

He owes his sacking to his "direct, honest and professional personality", which he acquired while training in France's hospitality industry.

Disagree. The man has a right to have his argument heard. If it is as ridiculous as the media makes it out to be, it'll end there.
