There is NO SUCH THING AS FREE my friend. There are always consequences and repercussions that have to be paid on one front or the other.
I am not sure that what you typed actually makes any valid points, unless you are a one-way-joe, tbh.
Just because someone has a difference of opinion does not mean that you should slander them or call them out of their name. How do you know she is a whore? Did she deny you the "panties" and you're mad now?
you mean a scenario you made up, because it has high emotional connotation?
almost none. Where you are at any point is the sum of the choices you make
perhaps they made a crappy choice of degrees? Instead of getting something in high demand, they got "Biological Anthropology" or something else highly limited. Again, they made the choice of their major and career path, nobody forced it on them.
if they aren't qualified, and don't have skills worth paying for, then what do they deserve? Part of the problem is that somehow today people think they should have new cars, and jewelery and cellphones and luxury items when they don't have the skills that are worth paying for that. A PHD in Spanish Literature of the 1500s doesn't exactly have much practical application.
you are missing an essential point here. They aren't being discriminated AGAINST - they merely have not enough qualifications to make the sort of pay THEY expect to make. Also they obviously didn't do EVERYTHING those "rich" people did, or they'd be rich too.
really? Can you post some actual evidence showing that? Its just more emotional appeal with no factual basis. Did Bill Gates abuse poverty workers?
People who don't work don't deserve anyone elses money. Wages and jobs are a supply and demand situation. If you have no skills in demand they you have no job. And instead of spending your time whining and complaining about rich people, or watching american idol and biggest loser the people should be spending their time upgrading their skills.
You are seriously going to sit there and tell me that out of the millions of jobs lost, this scenario never happened? So, I just pulled this out of the air because it "tugs the heart strings". Easy, you are better than that brother.
Again, this is obvious. You are where you are due to personal choices. Great that you pointed out a black dot on a white piece of paper. I hold a masters in network security engineering, I do not have an "official job" in that field. I live in Alabama, there are reasons why I do not have that job and neither are by choice of my own. I've been denied job after job due to companies going with the "good ol boy" tactics. I was denied 2 of 8 jobs due to a lack of experience, the rest was just a strange occurrence and one guy flat out told me that it was due to my religious belief. For you to deny that those tactics do not exist really makes your post lack credibility.
Once again, goes back to the previous statement. Of course, if you have a degree (no matter what level) in an obscure field and are not willing to move to an area where that degree can be put to use then you are going to have a long road ahead of you. However, I am talking about high demand degrees. No one forced them into taking that degree path, I totally agree with you. If my choice of words was misleading, my apology, however, I cannot take a gun into an office and force a guy to give me a particular job which I am more than qualified.
I cannot tell you how many people that I know that are qualified for a particular job yet have been denied due to "circumstances" beyond their control. If they are not qualified then yeah, of course, they shouldn't be given the job. No one in their right mind should expect to be handed something IF they are not qualified. However, when the qualifications are given and you meet those better than the person whom got hired, then there is something curious going on. Would you agree?
I am not sure what paradise that you live in but apparently it is definitely a place which I need to visit. Hell, book me a flight there NOW. A place with no racism or discrimination, wow, give me that address. Because, you know, of course, no one has ever been denied a job due to race, religion, or sex...this is American, that has NEVER happened here....I see your point.
Really? Would you like me to show you the speech's of Sam Walton where he states this? Or, better yet, how about I call Jim Sinegal, owner of Costco, and allow him to tell you that himself. I'll do you one better, I can just call up the CEO of target and get the info to you. It's right there in their call to employees handbook...

You said you live in Alabama, then complain about racism, discrimination, and the "good ol' boy network".
It's not slave labor. The people have a choice to work there or not.
IMO there should be no minimum wage. It causes a false paradigm to the free market system (just as government intervention always does). But still, no one force the people to work there.
wages are a supply and demand issue. if there is low demand for workers then wages will be low. if there is high supply of workers with a certain qualification then wages will be low. Thats simple economy. If people raise their qualifications then they are competing with jobs that there is a lower supply of workers able to do, and their pay is higher. The fact is that managing to scan a barcode and put clothes on a hanger is a non-skilled job and doesn't deserve much pay. You can just about train a monkey to do it. Some of the registers for fast food even just have pictures of the items on the touchscreen. a 6 year old could run the register, it doesn't deserve enough pay to raise a family on.
All valid points which I never diagreed with you on.
You sir are a blind one.
I don't disagree that we should help people who need it, but I disagree that it is a function of the federal government. Those are two totally separate questions.
Just for laughs, what is unfair about that? For starters, you would have had to make your religious beliefs known in some way for them to say that, which is a silly idea before having a job. Secondly, why shouldn't a person who owns a private business be allowed to pick and choose who he hires by whatever means he wants since he owns the business? Do you think that if everyone is a mormon for instance that a person who isn't would fit into the company culture anyhow?
You have a very skewed way of thinking, very one sided ... There could be countless reason why a person has to seek healthcare ... You are only looking at it from one perspective, at least from your post is what I gather.
Once again, valid points of ehich o do not totally diagree with. Most of what you are saying is true. It wasn't until I misinterpreted your message as no one deserves any help no matter the reason for the situation. Some of your methods I agree 100 percent, actions of getting there 75 percent ... overall, I can agree with your outlook
my problem is that like always for every 1 who deserves help there are 50-100 that don't, but will abuse the system to sponge off others. And then they will raise children who believe that is right, and do the same. You can see this issue if you look at Liverpool in the UK for instance. They call these programs entitlements because once a person starts using them, they begin to believe they are entitled to the free money.
IMO it's more akin to moving to Alaska and complaining it's cold than comparing it to polygamy. Though I guess I could use polygamy in it to say if you move to Utah don't be surprised if you see a guy with multiple wives. When in a place where certain things shouldn't be surprising, then don't be surprised when certain things happen.
Hmm....Criticize me for stereotyping then stereotype me and jump to unfounded conclusions yourself. :fool2:
That would be the World Health Organization... and it might be free to YOU if YOU aren't paying for it, but nothing is free in this world. Somebody always has to pay.
I am not sure what you are talking about? Are you blind? I said that many low wage workers are the main tool of the rich. Walk into any Walmart and ask anyone what their pay is, 90 percent will say minimum wage. The managers salaries are a bit better...assistants 38-60, co-mngrs 60-75, store mngrs 100,000-225,000.
Lol, easy, I used to be a hiring mngr, people ask those q, though it is against policy to do so. They noticed something of my attire and they asked me so I told them, wtf? was I going to lie, hell no! The truth would have come out in a few weeks anyway.
Ok, I will not stereotype you, let us make it easier ... do you have a particular dislike for people of a different race just based on their race or sex?
Yeah but when's the last time you seen a GP recommend exercise without also trying this new expensive drug on the side? 3yrs ago my gp tried to do that and I was like hell no, I don't need those meds I can get my choles under control. he said I couldn't without drugs, ok? my choles is as low as it has been it 8 yrs.
So you wore a visible religious item/piece of clothing and are surprised you weren't hired? I wouldn't have hired you either, regardless of what the item is, as that is an unprofessional way to dress for an interview. Watch, wedding ring and college ring are all that is acceptable for an interview jewelery wise if it happened to be a chain.
I've seen it every time. the doctor first recommends changing diet + exercise, and if the person says I can't or don't have time, or says they'll try and comes back the same on a retest 3 months later the doctor writes the prescription. Unless your cholesterol was so far skewed that the doctor felt there would be no way to bring it to normal in a reasonable amount of time by diet + exercise alone, I can't imagine them starting at the prescription. Heck, even when my first blood tests came back with low testosterone, the doctor wanted to try me on diet changes and exercise first.
Did you see an emocon which I posted that signified that I was surprised?
I disagree. I had issues with cholesterol, first thing was diet and exercise... she didnt even seem concerned and had full faith it would right itself with upping my cardio. Didnt even worry about a retest for months, and low and behold, she was right. Didnt even mention meds.
not completely, no. A small portion yes
This could be taken so many different ways.
You have had 20 jobs since you turned 18, and you are now 42????Well, I still think that unless its a religious institution you are applying at, that its unprofessional to dress in a WWJD t-shirt or whatever it was
But like i said its sort of odd, as with myself i've had **** I dunno, 15-20 jobs since I turned 18? and not in one did my religious beliefs ever come up.
