Maybe I've lived a sheltered life?

That is one of the most ridiculous things i have ever heard. 90% of people in the business field work under someone and has no way whatsoever in deciding where jobs are. wow. I'm going to be a financial advisor, in no way will i ever decide where jobs will be. the business field is HUGE.

It doesn't matter how many people are actually making these decisions, the business world... at least since the Reagan era... has proven itself to not have a shred of social responsibility. If they did, they wouldn't be going to the government every 25 years looking for hand-outs. You may not be in a position to actually pull the trigger on a decision to send jobs overseas, but you'll still be making your living by upholding the status quo which makes you just as responsible. If you think I'm lying, try expressing how you feel when it doesn't tout the company line and see how far you get.

And this is worse than the people who don't feel like getting a job who look for a handout on a daily basis??

So you're saying all jobs should be gov't jobs? That's what it boils down to if you're saying all people who work for all businesses are "upholding the status quo." Where, kind sir, do you work?

In your opinion, perhaps. What makes you more socially responsible than anyone else?

It has nothing to do with me. You can't make a statement like that and then have nothing to back it up, and then try to turn the tables and make it about me.

However, I did see AFTER I posted the previous post that you're really Solas. And that explains it. So, I really don't need to respond at all b/c it'll only cause a fight.

It's a response to Solas or Brewnik or whoever he calls himself today. I didn't respond to you, I responded to him.

I'm guessing you don't understand that there are threads within the thread, and responses to individual posts within the thread. Or maybe you just missed that part. Go back and look at it in the thread view and you'll see it.

For what it's worth, I agree with you, I'm just curious to see Solas/Brewnik's response, even if just for entertainment value.

I do understand that there are threads within threads, I just overlooked the name of the poster and that's my bad. Thanks for pointing that out. But it did sound like something he would say, and considering I got into it with him before, it didn't really surprise me. My apologies.

my bad? I wish that term would fall off the earth. I absolutely hate it!
