Many people I went to school with aspired to be a lazy POS and work in an auto plant. I have some relatives that also fit that same description. Hell, anyone in Michigan knew that the best place to get any drugs was at the local plant. I'll even admit it sounded like a good idea for about two seconds.. Luckily I didn't go that route and am now much more successful than I would've been.
Although your posts do not deserve any attention, I will reply to the statement in bold. Before any company can hire designers or engineers, these people must be educated first!

Default Democrats pulled a Palin in Wisconsin.

They ran away when the going got tough.
Yeah, that'll show 'em. Turn tail and hide.
This is government in action? Or is this 4th grade?

Wisconsin Democrats Keep on the Move - WSJ.com

With no end to the standoff in sight, Mr. Walker said that if the Democratic senators don't return, he would consider cutting the funding that pays for their staff.

ROFL!

I wonder if people realize our news is World News and this is infantile.

Here's a picture of the protesters.


Nice.

P.S. Next time I protest, I wanna be candy necklace suit guy.

Yes, they do need to be educated first. However, there is absolutely no requirement for the people that educate them to be card carrying union members. All that does is insure they're receiving a sub-par education as opposed to someone that actually has to perform to keep their job. Union laborers will never understand that concept, though. You are not entitled to much of anything. You must actually earn it. That is what makes this country so great.
BTW, to take away another argument.. there was a need for unions way back when. They served their purpose and now they need to go away. All they do now is guarantee corruption and low quality. They failed, they need to die.

Not really. You see in order to filibuster you actually have to show up to work.

LOL--more like told the governor to take a walk, which under the circumstances, I respect. It's about time people in this country started to stand up for what they believe is right, vs. acting like sheep and accepting whatever statehouses and the feds do. I don't agree with lots of things the tea party stands for, but I was always glad that at they showed that there were still American's willing to stand up for what they believe in. This is no different (except for the fact that there are 10x the number of people involved, and the numbers are growing daily). It's about time. I think the R's have finally woke up a sleeping giant--the middle class--and they're TICKED OFF.
