Off to my ignore list you go.
How many people must be on your ignore list by now I wonder...

Not something I understand too well, but perhaps another big difference between different types of people and their tolerance for opinion different from theirs.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...and-harassment

Furthermore, just because you've "heard that talk before among men" doesn't make it right and doesn't mean we should just all accept that "boys will be boys." As a woman, you are doing a fabulous job of encouraging false narratives that lead to victim blaming/shaming and the continuation of a culture that diminishes the importance and validity of female experiences.

I find it quite humorous that a President who has routinely disparaged women, advocated for sexual assault, was accused by his own ex-wife of rape, and creepily announced he would sleep with his own daughter if he wasn't related to her, decided to take credit for the "historic amount of women" in Congress today in his STOU address. In a round about way, he is responsible for it I guess, but not because he wanted it to happen - because women were so pissed about his character that they decided to run campaigns to try and attack his motives and ideals and weaken his influence.

And to the poster that said "it didn't happen in the White House" and "let's talk about Clinton" - this is merely a distraction technique and a misplaced assumption at that. What makes you think I'm okay with what Clinton did? For the record, I'm not - Unlike some others on this thread, I do not make my moral judgments/criticisms about people based solely on political leanings...
I read that comment and replied before getting to your reply, and thanks again for "lowering the boom" as appropriate. I also thought to add the same point. These notions essentially excusing unacceptable behavior or seemingly wanting to normalize them are a big part of perpetuating the same sort of backward thinking and behavior going on a bit too long now.

This too gets way too old for the rest of us to stomach much anymore, but I think we've got to have patience as the old folks go their way and the younger generation steps in without all this mental backwardness baggage.

LOL...you just twisted words because you did not research... and then provide some video that agrees with you (I assume)....all over the words "such good shape." Sad...really sad...

And just think if he would have used your words above...HOLY HECK....and you and your ilk are upset over "such good shape"..your heads would have exploded if would have said that....
You are writing all these comments while you are at work?!?

What on Earth do you do I wonder...

Or should I say not do?

With respect to hiring illegal workers, I too doubt that Trump would likely have had any immediate involvement or awareness about the hiring of illegal workers for a few reasons. One, it doesn't seem like Trump's M.O. to concern himself with bending the law here and there. Second, people like Trump hire people to keep those sorts of issues and problems from coming to his attention.

Third, and this is the big one more directly related to the issue of hiring illegal immigrants, the nature of the work they are hired to do is so low on the economic ladder and there are so many of these jobs that need filling, lots of American employers just can't justify all the time, effort and expense to properly vet these workers for legal status. To clean hotel rooms? Seriously? Just doesn't make good business sense, especially when the legal system doesn't really take the matter all that seriously either.

So what do we do while we all know thousands of these people are working for American employers not really wanting to bother vetting them, actually wanting them to work here, inviting them to do so and more than glad to pay them to stay and work?

We talk drug-smuggling rapist and murdering criminals, or "bad hombres" for you who are also Spanish speaking...

The reference to "us" also amuses me, but I'm more interested in the comments that seem more about intelligent exchange of opinion. I know that sounds condescending to you, but I think that's more your problem than mine (and common among people with thin skins who let emotions get the better of them, including the defensive emotions).

All to say that sometimes the exchange between the rest of "us" is worthwhile and for those with the lower tolerance for opinion different from theirs, there is always the immature ignore feature strategy. My compliments that you don't seem to be one of those sorts of people. Quite the contrary!

Also congrats on doing well in a job that allows you all this free time. I got a nasty message about security when I tried to access the information in the link, so I declined pursuing the information further. Can you copy/paste a simple description?

I have had jobs and/or periods of employment that allowed me "free time," but I always found a way to use that time in a way that somehow productively served my employer. That also lead the way to promotions and better pay. That might sound condescending too, but this is also simply the truth. None of which you appreciate hearing much. I know...

I've got to sign off now, because even though I'm retired, I have a hard time wasting this much time on anything for too long in one sit. Maybe again over tomorrow's morning wake up coffee...

I'm not sure why you would get a nasty message...every single aviation company in the world has access to it...it's a public website....

All prospective vendors seeking to compete for a solicitationfor M&O, for any Critical Safety Item (CSI) component(s) or component(s)containing CSI sub-components, and NON_CSI components are required to be consideredan U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM) approvedsource, and must submit a SAR package for review and approval by theEngineering Directorate (ED). Source approval must be obtained prior tobeing considered for contract award.

An M&O SAR is atechnical capability proposal from an alternate supplier seeking to gain sourceapproval for the M&O of a specific part managed by AMCOM. Once source approval is granted to asupplier, they are considered an approved source and can bid on AMCOMsolicitations for the M&O of aircraft parts. A SAR is one of the key means by which aprospective supplier demonstrates their capability to M&O a part that meetsor exceeds the Army’s technical data requirements.

No, it does not sound condensing...and sorry you don't have the ability to multi-task.....


And I appreciate constructive feedback, not verbal blasting...not that you would know the difference..
