That's a ridiculous analogy! Hey Glenn!  I don't see where you found anything analogous in my statement.

i also pick up doubletime and bonus points frequently at times...when i have time.....Im sure that If i was a union nurse..again this would be difficult...senority and crap like that... and Im saying this COMING from someone who had VERY high senority at a union warehouse. I know...union...senority is very powerful.  anything over 8 for me is time and a half.
Working eight or simply using up air? Most union employees feel that they are worth an inflated wage simply for sucking air instead of being home lounging on the couch with a beer perched on their gullet while watching wrestling on the boob tube. Unions are their own worst enemy as is being seen by the fact that their membership decreases year by year. |

and what does your job entail, exactly? I am guessing it entails something with a high barrier to entry. Judging by the spelling. lol. I'm just curious because he makes slightly more than me and pays $300 less a month than I would for medical and I get no pension. All the while, my job requires extensive knowledge to keep up on everything and expensive ($40k and counting) tools to do that job. not to mention that southern california is not not known for it's cheap cost of living. so why don't you tell me what this mystery job is? I'm genuinely curious. I'm confident in my job. I make double what every tech in the shop makes and the only person that makes more than me in the office is the owner (who takes a salary). We're barely keeping up at this point. I'm the newest in the shop and I'm the most secure in my job. You want to know why? What I know and can do. I can do everything that anyone in the shop can and those aren't even my specialties. I normally do electrical and drivability diagnosis that nobody even has a clue how to do. I have 9 ASE certs and a smog license that basically makes me non-expendable to my shop because my average margin for profit on my work is far more than the rest. So that is how you stick around: make yourself more useful to the company than the others. The union completely goes against this philosophy that is the base of a free market. The union promotes "one man, one job" and as cited before frowns severely on doing another's job. Those who can succeed in life on their own merits,do... those who can't, join unions. It is my belief that REAL men don't need to hide behind the apron strings of a "mommy" figure (union leadership) to take care them (job protection). "Mommy" negotiates your allowance (pay and benefits) but charges a monthly fee to do so. "Mommy" tells you what to do in regards to your responsibilities at work and when to throw a temper tantrum in public for attention (strike or picket). "Mommy" protects you when screw up (intentionally or unintentionally). If you don't do what "mommy" says, she punishes you. If you have to make a decision at work and not sure what to do, you have to ask "mommy". If your feelings are hurt when you see a REAL man not part of the family doing your job and making you look like a wimp, you go running and crying to "mommy". One doesn't need to be a licensed psychologist to see union "males" have some form of an "Edopus complex" (with "mommy") coupled with abandonment issues and are afraid to move out of "mommy's" basement. I speculate union boys/adolescents are naturally submissive and have made a consensual and cognitive decision to be controlled/dominated by "mommy". "Mommy" will give you everything you need to survive in life, except your employment manhood. Those who can do, those who won't/can't, become union eunuchs. This is a perfect analogy. Couldn't have said it better myself. and a final note, you may think your company is doing well even paying out the ass for the union, but that just means in a free market, they'd be doing even better and could potentially expand to provide more jobs in other places. So truthfully, the union, again, only benefits those in it and hurts those that are not.

 cause my computer was running so slowly
& my Computer Tech & good buddy Rob
 {{{ <<< GreyOwlRob >>> }}} on this site
was over until late last night
helping me with my daily computer maintenance
to enable optimum computer performance
& he was lovingly chastising me
 for not listening to him closely the last time
 and he slapped my wrist & shook me
 & kept me after school for detention
oh wait.... no... that was Catholic School 
but any way ...
I have not been glued to the computer quite as much as before
 thank God for big & little miracles
in fact i totally eliminated religion & politics
& many other forums from my forum settings
 cause i am tired of the endless merry go round
& i don't even want to even slightly know
 what the topics are or who the players are
but i did read many of your most recent posts
& i see that you are still extremely hilarious
& soo soo right on
And My Daughter Anna is doing fine ,
very busy with work & her life
and she has a wonderfully loving supportive Man
whom she has been with for over a year
I will go see her very very soon...
 This visit to see her is long over due
I've only seen her three times in the past year
and she lives about 100 miles away ,
without a car now, & money being so tight
it makes traveling very very tough
tonight I am babysitting my Grandchildren
while my Oldest Daughter & her Husband
go to a concert in the Bay Area
& then tomorrow ..it is a Christmas Singalong
with my GrandDaughter's Kindergarten class
i hope all is well with you & your Family
Say hello to your Lady for me please
& please tell her I said with all my heart
that she is a VERY VERY Fortunate Lady to have You
Thanks Vanessa! ((((((Vanessa)))))) I will tell G that you said hello. She really is a great person and a fine woman. She lives an hour away and with my long work days we only get to see each other on weekends. She has been busy with Christmas baking. A Jew that loves the pageantry of Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Call me sometime when you get a chance!

Awwwwwww! ((((morning song)))) I missed you too! I see you are still dodging spears and arrows. Don't lose faith my friend!
That's an intersting thought. Don't lose faith! Faith in what? Faith in God? Or faith in the Bible? Many people seem to have decided that if the Bible is false, then there must not be a God. They worship the Bible. I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to recognize that the Bible is not of God. Yet, this hasn't destoryed my faith in God at all. Just because one of many manmade mythologies turns out to be just as false as all the others doen't automatically mean that there is no God. Why does God need to have a mythology? Can't God just be God? Why do people feel a need to worship idols? Mythologies are idols. Can't they just believe in a creator who communiates with them directly via their own heart, soul, and emotions? People who keep faith in the Bible are doing jsut that. They are keeping a faith that the biblical story correctly describes God. Moreover they actaully demanding that God be like the Bible says! What will they do when they discover that God has nothing to do with the Bible? Will they feel betrayed? Why should they? They are the ones who tried to put God in a book, not the other way around. Faith in what? God? Or an ancient muddled mythology? I have faith in God. It's the ancient muddled mythology that I place no faith in. A mythology that claims that I'm at odds with my creator and clearly suggests that he's at odds with me as well. I was directing my statement to a "friend". What faith? Her faith in what she believes in. That is apparently not a faith which you share with her. Having no faith in anything is easier than to have faith in that which you cannot see. Your constant diatribe and chortling is indicative of nothing shy of immaturity. Believe (or don't believe) as you will but try to appear to be a little more sensitive to the views of others rather than coming across as a know it all babbling buffoon. Heck, you might even impress a lady. After all isn't that what you are here for? Perhaps not. |

I love the article
If I lived at that time I would have ran away with Jesus to China to find refuge. Then we would study Buddhism together each day 
With his understandings and the Eastern philosophies he would ground a new belief system called Jesuhism. Today there would have been over 4 billion followers if he stayed alive long enough. Don't mind me. I am a nutcase with a odd sense of dry humor and a vivid imagination. Very good article you scrapped up. Good job
As nutcases go, you are one fine nutcase. Happy to know you.. grin! Now I thought I told you to get out of the house? HUH? absolutely. I have a new years resolution. To get out of the house more and never come back
That would make your mother very happy to have you finally out of her basement.
Why always me?

Topic:
Homeland Security at Home?
|

haha wow...this is pretty incredible... Michael Chertoff, Homeland Security secretary, is the TOP immigration official in the country. Every few weeks for nearly four years, the Secret Service screened the IDs of employees for a Maryland cleaning company before they entered the house of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the nation's top immigration official. The company's owner says the workers sailed through the checks — although some of them turned out to be illegal immigrants. Now, owner James Reid ... was fined $22,880 after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators said he failed to check identification and work documents and fill out required I-9 verification forms for employees, five of whom he said were part of crews sent to Chertoff's home and whom ICE told him to fire because they were undocumented. "Our people need to know," said the Montgomery County businessman. "Our Homeland Security can't police their own home. How can they police our borders?" Reid said he was referred to the Chertoffs in 2005 and worked mainly with the secretary's wife, Meryl Chertoff, an adjunct professor and director of the Sandra Day O'Connor Project on the State of the Judiciary at Georgetown Law School. Reid's calendar shows that the Chertoffs paid $185 per visit for his company to clean their suburban Maryland home.

I just got permanently laid off from a car parts manufacturing plant. I worked there 19 and 1/2 years. They will be closing where I worked sometime in Jan or Feb. The company hasn`t given the 60 day plant closing notice yet. This is my fourth job to close on me in almost 40 years of working. So much for job security. It starts with the parts manufacturing factories and works it`s way up to the BIG 3 and the foreign auto makers. They are the ones controling the orders for what parts they need. I`m 57 years old. It`s going to be a hoot trying to get in on the ground floor some where else at my age.I know that I won`t make the same money or have the same bebefits. Soon we are going to know what our parents and grandparents went through in the late 1920`s through the early 1930`s. I certainly hope that I`m wrong. So I guess that you can take it from there concerning the auto industry. Nope. Wrong again as usual. The automakers will fold and restructure themselves with union leaches being given the option of accepting a reasonable wage or moving on. Why the hell should I have to pay more for a vehicle because a floor sweeper thinks he is worth 30 bucks an hour? One needs to understand simple economics in order to engage in discussions pertaining to business. Unions are an anchor in this day and age and are just as greedy as the management they negotiate with. |

I'll check for your answer in the morning. Four worksites, three workers (temporarily til Obama gets to have em)and 5:00 am will roll around too quickly. Thanks winx, have a great night.
I'm confused. What answer? Why do you think Obama's going to have them? I asked you the same question twice. Here is the third time: Going back to your comment that McCain's personal life affects how you see his character in a negative way, how did you view Clinton's character with his marital infidelities?
Pertaining to my comment concerning employees, I was being facetious in a way. What I should say is that his economic policies will add great numbers of people to the unemployment lines, kill many small businesses, and increase the size of government. Anyone who thinks they will not have their taxes raised with either candidate is delusional as history shows. It is a question of who will raise your taxes more. At this stage of the game they are both just flapping their jaws and people hear from the chatter what they want to hear. Without going into each of their issues here, I will simply say that applying common sense alone should raise doubts as to whether they are being truthful. Example: Obama states that he will not raise taxes on the middle class. Seeing our HUGE deficit coupled with his desire to increase the size of government. Where do you think that money will come from? 
Don't forget about the Clinton question.
You are delusional if you think Lewinsky was Clinton's first extramarital foray. [/quote Duh if no one knowes about it are we to asume he is? come on zap get real.
Seeing what you call "real", I would have to decline your request. Your reality would be better lived under the influence of LSD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knH-DVyOP_I Party on Garth.
No, delusional is the only description I can get away with on here. The point you are making for me is that people of your ilk find fault with anyone who does not agree with you while you turn a blind eye to the faults of those that do. Your extremely hypocritical bias shows your character in a light that is anything but one that is reasonable and willing to try to see from another person's point of view. |
