  4. the they that still can't see what's up when places like Seattle employ private sector street sweeping company (with 2 employee's and 2 vehicles) instead of state employee's (with union requiring 6 employee's and 3 vehicles) for same exact job.
  5. the they that still can't see what's up when the modest rich are attacked by socialist tax bleeding methods
  6. the they that still can't see how it is fragmenting society (divide and conquer) when a person is hired because of color.
  7. the they that still can't see they are the EMPLOYERS being told what to do by the people we pay (the politician) because THEY WANT PERMISSION like a trapped parrot.

Just look at what they do to our military ... the disrespect and lack of integrity they demonstrate toward those who have risked or lost their life for what was the greatest nation in the world!
SERIOUSLY; there is no way to break it all down ... people are so far gone and so jealous of each other ... that they only hate and refuse to hear stuff that should be COMMON friggin sense!

was alive when Alaska and Hawaii were added ....

... but what I am is someone who refuses to buy into the political parrot in the pot feeding everyone propaganda ...

Also tired of hearing how everything will get better ever since the early 70's and seen it all ONLY turn worse every year.

I am also tired of watching the third world entitlement mentality over take America's lead as a free country in the world.
I am tired of practicing justice when even many even on the right are after JUST US.
I am tired of being a FAIR White (more or less) guy and getting screwed by the system that was allegedly there for our JUSTICE.

I am tired of no one giving a legitimate reason for a Negro college fund which actually does provide funds to non Negro's
Why not call it an AMERICAN COLLEGE FUND - isn't it time to stop racist thinking and care for everyone who needs the help?
I am tired of no one giving a legitimate reason for allowing a BLACK SHOPPING NETWORK ... and telling me to stop say this because it is racist.

I am tired of JUST US and the loss of JUSTICE for ALL Americans!

... perhaps society and it's complacent attitude are what is really funny here!

FYI: if ya' think I am peeved a bit ... ya' might be right more than you realize!

Ok, Mr digital uck I guess that I have address each one of your time consuming rants

1. Greedy? I guess that if I'm greedy you must be considered to be stupid. Who in their right mind wants to be underpaid for what they are worth? What you are saying is that management determines your worth? If you have the education/experience a manager can tell you (against industry norms) that you are worth very little pay. I have a degree and 20 years experience in my field do you think that I would let anyone pay me 7.50 hr?

2. You are of course assuming that either I'm a basic labourer or an illegal immigrant which I'm neither. You cannot give me anything! You have a false sense of power and control, which in the real world you are nothing but a grain of sand on a beach used to make sandcastles.

3. Hmmm, unmotivated- two degrees from accrediated Universities, undisciplined- 20 years in the USAF I guess that shoots down your assinine remark. Since I do not hang out at Home depot waiting for azzwipes like you to "einy-miny-miney-moe" me for and crappy manual labor job, I guess that makes you what? .......0 for 4 in your assumptions about me.

4. As read further, I now realize that your lack of common sense and any knowledge of current events is limited to what your post-middle school brain can handle. And that is suppose to impress me? Have you ever heard of the show "Hill St Blues"? Well I grew up in the area of Pittsburgh where the show was base upon, so don't run off at the gibbers about what you did at 15. Well since you asked, at 15 I was taking scholars classes in school and at the same time doing the same hood stuff as my peers.

5. Many Smart people with real educations who did really well during the Bush years tended to have been able to keep some of the money that they had, I guess that you were not one of them.
I guess if you had knew how to manage your money since with your limited knowledge the word "investment" would have been a foriegn word to you. I guess that I can't rely on a job from you <shrugs shoulders>. Well there is some good news for you though, you can always get health insurance (thanks to Obama) since you worked your way up, you proably have alot of wear and tear on your body.

6. Sports like most of your commentary is entertaining for lack of a better word. I don't follow it (sports) in detail but I'm aware of my political surroundings and the people that make world news, unlike someone like yourself that can only get your information from the likes of Rush and Hannity.

Since you are sooo aware of your political heros such as Bush and company, did you know this?
[SIZE=3]BBC News - Dick Cheney faces bribery scandal charges in Nigeria[/SIZE]
Of course you did'nt because your talking heads Rush/Hannity and Faux Blues did not mentioned it.

Actually you are right, I should not have just used the word "rant" I should have used the phrase "foolish rant" or maybe "clueless rant". The best one that really describes you is proably "an old fool". Incidently how did you get access to a computer anyway? Where did you park your dinosaur?

Today, a guest host on the Sean Hannity show told a listener that Wall Street...money traders, speculators, create jobs...they do? what kind?

What industry did that last executive who recieved $20 million dollar bonus start or create out of his own wealth?

Heck, I could be wealthy overnight to if my best Fraternal buddy gave me a $10 million dollar bonus....

Money speculators, those who trade and speculate about the economy...don't create nothing but market panic...if anything their constant speculating slows down the economy and costs jobs...

When Sam Walton opened his first Wal-Mart, was he rich? No, he was middle class. When Pepsi started, middle class. Even Bill Gates, middle class.

Job creation is the result of innovation and entrepreneurship. The rich don't need to innovate or to be entrepreneurs. They may encourage such activities, and they may help finance such activities, but job creators almost always come from the middle class, and even, sometimes from the poor. For instance, J K Rowling's business enterprises (the books, the movies, all the associated marketing and merchandising) created thousands of jobs. And she was dirt poor when she wrote the first book.
The huge majority of employees hired by Sam Walton was after he was wealthy.

Many employers started out by doing the work themselves, they could not afford to hire anyone. If was only after they became successful that they were able hire help.

  1. Who in their right mind wants to be underpaid for what they are worth?
    • HOW ABOUT the fool who chose to get wasted their entire life?
    • How about those who think that others own them?
    • How about the unmotivated?
    • how about the slacker who hides in bureaucratic institutions?
    • How about those who think they have an excuse to fail?
    • How about the unfocused
    • How about those who lack the discipline to succeed?
    • how about the criminal who rather kill people and sit in prison doing guys for the rest of their useless lives?

    I have a degree and 20 years experience in my field do you think that I would let anyone pay me 7.50 hr? If you have to use that alleged example to emphasize a point - then no ... more like $7.25 (bottom of Federal Minimum for you) Come on! Does a fools question like that add any value to anything more than a weak pointless rant? The is what?
    the best illustration you could devise?
What's your field? Mythology? with a post like you made here - that may be giving you more credit than deserved.

huh? you know about that? ...and as angry as you are about it - did you do anything to improve it? ... doubt it!
Disadvantaged JOB type people would do that to earn a respectable buck or two ... but you insult them and look down on them?
... ah ... but you are a caring liberal - huh?
Actually; it would be no surprise to me if in all reality - you have been there and did a crumby job at it!
You see that attitude of yours would keep you from too many rehires in a labor situation like that. There is a term for that ... it's a diagnosis for something like an inflated ego .... I'll have to Google it!

oh - that's it!
nar·cis·sism/ˈnärsəˌsizəm/
Noun:

Extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one's own talents and a craving for admiration.
Self-centeredness arising from failure to distinguish the self from external objects.

And that is suppose to impress me? Have you ever heard of the show "Hill St Blues"? ooh ... I am so impressed a REAL Hollyweird TV SHOW!! {{{CHIRP CHIRP}}} darn crickets!
so what? I been around the Italians on the west side of Buffalo - when I was born - Buffalo was headquarters for the Costa Nostra - and I am first born of first generation with ITALIAN sir name
Well I grew up in the area of Pittsburgh where the show was base upon, so don't run off at the gibbers about what you did at 15. Well since you asked, at 15 I was taking scholars classes in school and at the same time doing the same hood stuff as my peers.
... so? my son (an eighth grader is learning 9th and 10th grade algebra this year!)
... and in eight grade I was ready second and third year college level - BIG DEAL!

EVER HEARD OF MARK TWAIN?
he once said something in the effect of:
I shall never allow my schooling to interfere with my education
... I am very educated!
and want to know what a person with degree's in Chemistry, Bio Chemistry, anthropology, and mathematics was able to do with ALL THAT SCHOOLING?
... He was able to splatter his own plane into a mountainside on Thanksgiving day 1978
... and his wife who was just one semester from a Phd in Mathematics and degree's in Hematology and radiology was able to do? She did what he did!

The pisser is that the guys was a friggin democrat working for General Motors assembly when he died!

BECAUSE YOU LACK THE SKILL TO ASSOCIATE THINGS TO EACH OTHER:
He was my father and she was my second stepmother ...

so blow your schooling crap out your ass

I guess if you had knew how to manage your money since with your limited knowledge the word "investment" would have been a foriegn word to you. are you my age and retired for almost 7 years like me?

Well there is some good news for you though, you can always get health insurance (thanks to Obama) since you worked your way up, you proably have alot of wear and tear on your body.

Psycho babble ... haven't watch those kind of people in years - stopped watching Fox all together when the Riley showed his true anti Constitutional colors by having a fit about that Muslim church that was 2 block from ground zero ... Constitution grants FREEDOM OF RELIGION!! so ... what facts have you even slightly got right in your post?

Here is my 1974 Corvette Stingray on Blocks ...


the lower photo is a 350 running off a 4-speed with 2 four barrel Edelbrock Carb's, a Malory Distributor, and Malory Coil ...



... with a mid 80's rear bumper assembly ... not that someone like you would be up on the pre-catalytic converter vettes

at least what I say about myself is total truth - don't know you - why bother trying to impress someone I couldn't care less about?
at least I don't pretend to be more than I actually am!
I am not a yarn spinner
