[quote]No. It was a malicious, deliberate lie. There's a difference. Isn't politics wonderful?[/quote] yes it is....lol

Even as a democrat I can laugh at that...good one:)

Hey all my conservative friends out there, is Sarah Palin going nuts already? The day that the Bristol Palin news of being 5 months pregnant came out Obama was asked about it. His reply was that if anyone in his campaign attacked her on it they would be fired. He said it was a family matter and should not be part of the politics of this campaign especially when it comes to children of the canidates. Now Palin sends out a campaign message about how Obama is attacking he

[quote]No. No one is giving anything. You either earn them or not. And right now, unskilled labor has decided that they are "entitled" to certain things. Entitilement only works with a tyrannical style of government. One we are approaching, but are not there yet. WHen it arrives, I suggest you look to Zimbabwe to see what will happen. It is not theoretical. It is a fact[/quote] I dont beleive in something for nothing, if we are handing out aid then there should

[quote]If a company decides to move their factory from (say) Wisconsin to Utah, are they betraying their state?[/quote] In a way yes. We recently had a scare here in Milwaukee when it was announced that miller and coors were merging for a project and that the HQ moved for sure and they didnt know if they would continue brewing beer here. I know these things happen Ted it is the nature of business, my point is that when it happens enmasse, it is a deliberate act and it does

[quote]If you truly equate selling military secrets to outsourcing you are truly a sick individual. Thank you for this comment, it tells me that there is no reason to waste my time reading any of the swill that comes from your depraved mind. Don't bother responding, because I won't read it.[/quote] I will respond anyway. If you cant see that selling out your country economically can be the same as militarily than you are as short sighted of a conservative as I have seen.

[quote]That you equate profit with treason says a lot about you.[/quote] I look at it as the same as sending military secrets overseas(when you do it to the degree that is going on now) your just doing it economically by hurting our own people. And no it doesnt suck to be me, what I am saying is that I am fortunate to have my job as it does pay decent and that I am most other union workers do work hard for our money(there are always exeptions which is unfortunate). My gran

[quote]You forget... that's for 'not' working. [/quote] Anyday you want to get up every weekday morning at 3:45am and go move 3000 packages everyday with an average weight of 25lbs(going up to 150lbs) in a warehouse with no air flow whatsoever, where when you walk inside its like a sauna in summertime and an icebox in the winter. And do it all in 4 hours be my guest. Then for the next 4 hours take in packages and try to deal with tons of cranky customers that are mad at yo

[quote]Also, you didn't answer the rest of the questions.[/quote] neither did you and neither did Dr Guy, you guys love to do that:)

[quote]I only questioned your respect for freedom is you are a Marxist. [/quote] No you didnt [quote]And unless you share parents with your co-workers, none of them are "brothers" or "sisters"... unless of course, you are a Marxist, then I question your respect for freedom.[/quote] This was your quote, Simply put you said that if I call my co-workers "Brothers" or "Sisters" then I am a Marxist ans you question my respect for freedom. Are memebers of the military

By the way Dr Guy I do have to tell you, I love your avatar....its pretty funny

[quote]WHy does your race matter? Apparently it somehow makes a difference, but for what I have no clue. If your sister is adopted, that matters should she need a transplant, but her race and your race should never matter to most people. Except liberals apparently.[/quote] It was in response to Ted saying that I cant or shouldnt call my fellow union members brothers or sisters I pointed out that members of the armed forces call each other brothers and sisters in arms all the

[quote]One other thing about the brother/sister thing ted, am I allowed to call my sister, myster? See my mom and dad are white as am I, but my sister is adopted from Taejan South Korea. I simply have never thought of her as anything less than a real sister.[/quote] First line should be "call my sister, my sister."?

[quote]I did read your statement and I find your attitude about management ignorant, arrogant and prejudice... unless you are only talking about the company you work for, then I'll take some of that back. [/quote] I am talking about my company, but also others I have worked for in the past and about 5 my wife has worked for as well along with 3 my father has worked for. So no I am not talking aobut all companies, I do know of a few that have different approaches to workers and a

[quote]So it is your job to make formal complaints about management, but never about your co-workers. Your co-workers can steal all they want and you will look the other way everytime, but if management pisses you off, then heads should roll? Hypocrit![/quote] Please read my whole statement as I say right in there that I do say stuff to people if need be. But you will never and I mean never see management doing that to other management. I make sure my Bro

[quote]No but it has flucuated usually higher during rebuplican administrations up to 15% during Reagan and Bush 1. My bigger question to you would be how come we as a country were able to bring that rate down during Kennedy/Johnsons "Great Society" years from about 22-23% to about 12% in the late 60's but have remained stagnant on it since then? Are you saying, well you need to have poor people so just let them wallow in their situations? Why is it that we cant cut that number down to sin

[quote]Would it suprise you to know that the percent in the middle class has not changed by 1% since the 1960s?

[quote]Did the tooth fairy create it? Think man! And the infrastructure requires upkeep (you have heard of the roads, right? Although they are government, the same applies to private companies and assets).[/quote] So are you saying that every factory/workplace we have in our country is either in disrepair and/or operating to full capacity? I can tell you that mine isn't. We have plenty of room at this point to move more commerce.

[quote]But do you file a grievance against your co-workers when you see it? Or should complaints only be made against management?[/quote] no thats not my job, but I certainly dont encourage any sort of complete goofing off. I think that everyone even management should get some time to goof off but it has to be within reason. I can tell you this though as a former union steward if I go into a situation where an employee has a horrible attendence record, my job is to fight

[quote]I am so glad you failed economics. Just for your education, poor people cannot buy if there is nothing to buy. IN order to make things to buy, you have to have capital. That does not come from Poor people. SO in your upside down world, the wealth flows from the bottom up. it does in a feudal society, not in a capitalistic one. I would suggest you put down Karl Marx and pick up Adam Smith. And then when you have understood it, come back and correct your statem

[quote]Right! I should have seen the truth in your statement! Poor people hire workers! Such simplicity in the truth, and such power! Kill the greedy rich people! And dont worry about your job, a poor person will hire you![/quote] Poor people who make more money and have some help spend more money, thus creating more jobs as more goods are needed, and giving rich people(i.e.business owners)more profits and more money. Then on top of that with rich people with

[quote]Also, with all your grievances, how many times have you seen a co-worker wasting time on the clock, pilphering company supplies or equipment, calling in sick when they aren't... etc?[/quote] Just as many times as I have seen management, its pretty equal. Cant count the number of times that management gets a nice catered meal that costs the company wads of cash and then takes extended lunchs. Were all people so generally its pretty equal.

[quote]As far as part 2 of your fallacy, just remember the yachts. So the rich can pay more? Yea, who is going to hire people to get us out of the recession (or slowdown)? The bum on the street? Have you ever gotten a job from a poor person? tax the money away, and they have no money to invest, which means no jobs, which means no expansion. So go ahead and kill the golden goose. And the Yachts? The idiots in congress decided to "soak the rich". and destroyed the livilyhood

on topic, there is simply no way you can tell me that all these chemicals we are letting into the air have no effect. Even without science I can tell you that if you introduce something(a foriegn substance) to a object it will change it. Good example. The human body, we know that if you smoke cigarettes(spelling, sorry), it will cause cancer if you keep doing it. If you live in a building with Asbestos in it you will get cancer eventually. Its just a matter of ti
