Shall I explain to you how a union used a socialist concept to sell itself to people of my pay grade (repair welders) and lower (assembler and testers) causing some to go from 15 an hour to 10 and me to go from nearly 20 an hour to less than 15 so that it was "fair" to people that had only been doing the jobs for months? Some would say this was good for the company because it saved money but it didn't because few had been around long enough for that few dollars an hour to matter conjoined with... The pay grades above me (20, 30 & 45 an hour) an hour immediately got a 10% pay raise. Then these higher pay grades (robot technicians, tool makers, electricians, mechanics ect) decided that they didn't have to do their jobs unless the equipment was producing scrap or broke down. The concept seems counter productive to keeping ones job doesn't it? I'm not bragging by saying I was the best repair welder on my shift. The most of others where to lazy to get certified so there where jobs they legally couldn't do plus none of them could analyze and adapt as fast as me. Because of the techs wouldn't touch the machines unless they where making scrap all the repair welders had to work ridiculously had to get product off the lines and I got stuck onto the Humvee line. Yeah Humvee the government vehicle not Hummer the civilian chunk of shit. Now to get product off the line I had to start compromising my standards (not that hard to do, just swallow some personal pride) and drop to company standards but then had to drop to minimal standards. Every day I had to walk out of that place feeling guilty. Why? I was being forced, by the union, to cost the taxpayer more money by releasing and inferior product that would fail faster AND endangering American solders with the same process. The guilt brought me close to a nervous breakdown, but luckily something happened. A contact with ford expired. The week before I got my grade as a repair welder another dude had hired in at that grade and couldn't cut it so took a demotion, that why I got promoted. When the company needed to start laying operators off because of an expired contract, the union forced them to repromote him so their "rear guard" didn't lose his job causing me to be demoted and lose almost 4 dollars an hour. I also got to see people with more time in the company than him get laid off because the union was protecting their own. Now you have people that only did the minimum, people that couldn't do jobs filling positions. What do you think started happening? That's right, contracts started getting lost! The company even shipped jobs down to Mexico in the hopes of improving quality by being allowed to fire individuals who couldn't/wouldn't perform. Before the union I had a career and a second family with careers after the union I was a slave surrounded by other slaves out to get me and lost my job because of it. Wanna hear about how went from getting an annual pay increase averaging at 4.3% down to 1.8% wile the union took 2.5%? Wanna hear about how 65% of the active laborers where willing to take a pay cut so we could keep our jobs but the union miraculously found enough votes from people that where laid off and never showed up to a meeting to defeat us? Wanna hear about how the union used money I earned to support political candidates I apposed? I got an anecdote from 1988 that shows what bull shit teacher unions are. Yeah, there hasn't been an honest Detroit mayor since the 60's, and the school board has been crooked since I can remember, but dishonest unions support dishonest politics. So one can only conclude that unions are a large part of the problem in just about every sector they have their dirty greasy corrupt fingers in.

You don't have to worry about climate change #1 the earth is self correcting baring extra atmospheric interference #2 increased sunspot activity increased temperature. Do you believe that mans pollution is causing every planet in the solar system to heat up like they are currently doing? You don't have to worry about recycling any further than the law provides because, the earth is self correcting baring extra atmospheric interference. You could also take the road that recycling slows down cost increase. Overpopulation isn't parasitic it is cannibalistic, the earth is self correcting. So if we don't stabilize the population at a sustainable level we have a mass die off. Deforestation at some point will cause extinction possibly as absolutely nobody has been able to prove that the trees are needed. It has been shown that there is plenty of carbon dioxide absorbing oxygen releasing organisms on the earth to provide for our oxygen needs. It has also been proven that young trees absorb CO2 faster per pound than old trees so if deforestation is an issue just plant young trees and chop down the old. Better yet use industrial hemp. If I am wrong, it doesn't matter, the earth is self correcting. Genocide isn't parasitic either it is evil but not parasitic. Ultimately we could nuke the entire planet and it wont matter as far as the universe is concerned and life on this planet will continue.

You are giving UN forces too much credit dude, 1k of them can't accomplish what 100 American Army Brats can do with only militia level resources.

Yeah it is hock. The only thorium reactor I can find that actually has a positive power gain (higher output than input) isn't a thorium reactor at all. It got shut down in 82. It is a plutonium reactor that used thorium blankets as an additional fuel source. Every paper talking about pure thorium reactors using a photon beam to keep fission always mentions daisy chaining reactors. Ie, you need to devote the power from the last reactor to power the next one and keep powering it. This automatically lets one infer that there is no positive power gain. Turn off the first photon beam and all other reactors will follow. BTW weapons grade radioactive materials can be harvested from a thorium reactor so to call it safe is bull shit. Now lets say a pure thorium reactor did have a positive energy gain. The methods for collecting WGRM is so much more complicated that it can not be clandestinely performed, but this would only mean that as an alternative to standard nuclear fuels it is safer not safe.

Nobody has ever been able to make that argument adequately. They always run right out of the realm of the empirical and into the theoretical. Scientific theory taken as fact can be just as much bull shit as religious fundamentalism.

I just watched Lo again. For some reason minimalist movie speak to me when they don't come off as avaunt garde bull shit.

like the government has a covert mission under the guise of public safety to institute Stalinism for the bankers.

They can see my posting, I'm hosting it on my site. I think the image crushes self importance. We mean no more to the grand scheme of the universe than some insignificant microbe means to us.

this is suppose to be a vegan protest pic but It makes me hungry.

when I click the link I get taken to the same. ~~~add~~ I just went to gifbin.com front page then tried clicking the link and it worked.

this is what I'm seeing ~~~edit to add~~~ what you might need to do is to put the image in a DGN gallery then hot link it.

That is because you already have the image in your cache.

I asked some one about this, the response I got was "I wont tell you anything". I find the use of the word wont to be disturbing because usually the replies are answers, I don't know or I can't tell you anything.

There is absolutely no doubt that Gaddafi is scum, I've known that since the late 80's. My issue is, I don't want to see Americans dieing for Libyans. Libyans need to die for Libyans, they need to destroy those holding the shackles of tyranny. A peaceful resolution to a civil war brought about by outside forces does nothing but insure that there will be future insurrection. The people have to show the loyalists that they are the ones to fear not the UN.

I did think about rebel capacity. Do you honestly believe that 100% of the military defectors did not confiscate equipment? Is that base they are holding outside of Ajdabiyah just a figment? What about all the military sites and ammunition depots that the Loyalists claim to have tried bombing, where they all void of ordnance? I have absolutely zero problems believing that the rebels have surface to air capabilities just like I have absolutely no problems believing that if they are just and want the world to be on their side, then they wont be provoked into breaking a cease fire.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuvHBgHyHh0 Because my father was a cold war baby, I was turned into one too. He had copies of this kind of stuff on audio, slides, transparencies and film. And what he didn't have, he would take me to the 156th signal battalion armory and show me. I think people should watch this stuff then take a hard look at how things are today.

I have read 1973, I know that more that a NFZ was imposed by it, I also know that had it just been a NFZ then unprovoked strikes would have been disallowed. Now take into account that before copies got released/leaked what have you our "Friends" on the security council claimed they would not vote to pass the resolution unless 1 of 2 things happened. 1. make it a NFZ only resolution where retaliatory strikes can only be performed because of attempts to prevent policing the sky's and or Violating the NFC. 2. Clearly define "response to" and "appropriate action". The downed jet being spoken of, was a claim made by the rebels (the civilians joined with the military defectors) to be of Gaddafi military origin not French. So IF that "Gaddafi military jet" was in fact a French jet then the rebels are the ones who should be on the receiving end of a retaliatory strike.IF. But hey Gaddafi is an idiot, all he has to do is exactly what we are not doing... Follow international human rights law. Follow international humanitarian law. Stop using Xe Services(Blackwater) *cough cough* I mean private security forces *cough cough* I mean mercenaries *cough cough* piece of sit bastards only worthy of summary execution. Patriots don't want mercs in this nation. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they come home and breed more mercs. The true Patriots will breed more true Patriots. Kill off the Goddamned green chasing mercs who would shoot us in our backs for an extra grand and we will have a nation of red white and blue casing Patriots. ~~~edit to add~~~ Keep in mind I'm not antiwar, I'm antiwar for profit and anti breaking laws we are supposedly to subscribe to.

Almost a direct translation.
