"Chicagocubs", your ponit is well taken, i get on the Charlotte website because i am in Charlotte very often, i have many friends and family members there and i am going to keep coming and going. I just wanted to share my views. I am no stranger
by the way did you see post 98 on page 10
From your very first post (#82) you were looking to inflame people:

"NC will continue to be a second rate city / state..."

Your post to me on #93 was especially rude and uncalled for. Again, you've shown your true trollish colors throughout the whole thread. You remind me of the quote from MacBeth:

A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Implying that NC is second rate because we don't have unions isn't an insult, huh? The first post in the thread, also from last night, was similarly an covert insult and incitement. From there your "we've better in NY" was going to arouse people. Then, when people dared to questions unions you went off of the rails.

That's kinda like saying that California really isn't in that bad a shape, don't you think?
I got on this thread to defend teachers and our union, and talked about how our union will protect us from absobing the brunt of the economic problem. I am not denying that our problem exist
I also said that NC teachers will take a stronger blow because they don't have a union

I see we both went through the same line of thinking.

And we told you why we have issues with unions and instead of saying, "Oh well, I tried to tell you, but you can have it your way," you instead got upset that we called out your union and disagreed with you.
