Yes. And that is the EXACT thing they collect a PAYCHECK for.
So divulge which companies you've owned and the numbers of employees you've had...comon. How many?
Path wrote:
<quoted text>Risk nothing? Only their jobs, which in their case, is all they have.
It's all they 'have' BY CHOICE! Nobody is preventing them from risking everything and OPENING UP THEIR OWN BUSINESS!'All they have', like employees don't steal from ownership, like they don't show up on time, or simply 'quit' without notice. It's so obvious that you've collected a paycheck all your life that it's pathetic!
Path wrote:
<quoted text>Employers consider laborers "a dime a dozen", which is another way of saying they are worthless trash.
Not true. Every employee is of the VALUE that they bring to the company. Again--your statements are a blaring admission that you've never been the boss!

<quoted text>They don't pay a fair wage, and employees don't agree to it being a fair wage; they accept only out of need and desperation.
Well then what you're saying is, that every employee is a desperate SLUT who will do ANYTHING to get a dollar. Yet you want employers to believe that this person with no self worth, should be GIVEN that which they didn't agree to with the terms of their hiring, and haven't earned a right to from the investment of anything above and beyond those terms!
Well, perhaps I can see your perspective. Because I know your midset. It's an 'entitlement' mindset. I see it everyday in our society and definitely in the minds of those growing up today. They EXPECT to be given a position on the team. They EXPECT to be treated with tons of respect without earning it. They EXPECT the nicest clothes and presents from their parents every Christmas and a 'new car' when they turn 16. They EXPECT for college to be easy, paid for by someone else, and a $100k/year job on the back side of that cake-walk. Yea. I can see how you could think the way you do. Sucks to actually have to live in the REAL WORLD now doesn't it?
Path wrote:
<quoted text>You live in a pretty big illusion if you think employees are entering an agreement that their wages are fair just for accepting a job.
With the ACCEPTANCE of that job they are accepting the TERMS of that job, which includes all rules, the pay, and the required tasks and hours needed. I don't expect them or demand more of them than what I've told them I'd pay for, and they have no right to demand that which I never promised. If they don't agree to those terms, then it is their DUTY TO SELF to go find a job which will give them what they want. That's what 'being mature' is all about.
Path wrote:
<quoted text> Employers treat employees as a commodity, when what we are talking about is human beings... their worth should not be defined by availability, and I say you're a might bit sick in the head if you think they should be.
You think you deserve something for making an investment; of course you're right. You think you deserve everything; you're absolutely wrong. Without a work force you wouldn't have gotten where you are. You wouldn't have grown so far; etc.. They are as much a part of your success as your money; they invested their time and energy for you, and they aught be acknowledged for that, and the only reason you don't, is because you don't think they're human.
I acknowledge them. I say thank you. And I give them the terms of our agreement for their efforts...the pay they have earned. End of transaction. That doesn't make me mean, insensitive, or harsh. It makes me a BUSINESSMAN. For anyone to expect that which was not promised, eluded to, implied, or otherwise stated, makes such a person foolish and presumptuous.

In other words, you would have no problem with indentured servitude. It's their own fault for being desperate enough to agree to your terms. It's their own fault they don't have the funds to start their own business. They are worth only as much as the next guy is willing to work for. Got it.

I understand your mindset perfectly. I just find it disgusting.

You really are quite disgusting. So a person is a desperate slut because they take the job they can find when they need a job. Such a wonderful person you are. They should just wave their magic wands and create a successful business out of thin air and no money; shame on them for feeding and clothing their children first. Forget the fact that 9 out of 10 business startups fail... they should risk it all and starve to try for a chance of being 1 in 10; damn them.

And I understand your ignorance completely. You're why so many Americans are in financial trouble. They aren't mature enough to make decisions for themselves and when things don't go their way from those decisions they want to blame anyone and everyone but themselves. You're why lawyers MUST be used in most transactions....to hold you to what you've SAID you'd agree to! I find your inability to be a MAN pathetic.

You're a pathetic pig. If you cannot be a MAN and let your yes be yes and your no be no, then you shouldn't be allowed 'out' to deal with adults.

Go research the term 'verbal contracts'.
You're the kind of pig that would even go back on a handshake....and you're what is wrong with America these days. You have no spine. Your 'word' is worthless. And it's people like you which is why this country REQUIRES everything be 'signed off' on and reviewed by lawyers!

Maybe you should look them up. They don't hold up in court.

Moreover, an applicant accepting a job at a particular wage neither agrees that the wage is fair, nor final. Everyone expects that the longer and harder they work for a company the more they will be rewarded for their dedication. No one expects to stay at the wage they're hired at more than 1 year.

You can't change human social behavior. You can either work with it or against it. Your choice is to go against the grain, and expect results that will never occur.

Your way, eliminating all forms of welfare and assistance, will result in a landscape filled with beggers like in countries like India. I am confident that I will not be one of those beggers, but I have no intention of allowing my country to become a filthy haven for beggers. What is your plan once the streets are filled with begger vermin? Spend $20k annually per begger to jail them? Yea, that'll save us money... You have no foresight.

And your mentality would have 10% of the population working while the rest sits home (like current welfare recipients), and doesn't do a damn thing.

There you go again thinking in complete black and white and not listening... Are you just too stupid to understand there are more than two ways to do things?

Don't speak of "my way" of doing things, because though I've already told you my way, you've not got a clue about my way.

My philosophy: "If you give a man a fish he'll eat for a for a day, but teach a man a fish and he'll eat for life"

Shouldn't be giving fish, but teaching them is an entirely different story. Welfare is not just a handout. It's job education and placement. But that said, it has absolutely nothing to do with what I've been talking about.

I'll say it one more time: you have to work to earn a minimum wage; ergo, by adding stock to the minimum wage, you'd still have to work to get that stock. If you don't understand the difference you must be retarded.

Kissimmee says it all. The redneck headquarters of FL, where everyone marries their first cousins, or sisters. A bunch of inbred idiots.

Be prepared for big changes. Your mobile homes will be burned out, and Kissimmee will be turned into a wildlife preserve, attached to Disney.

Far as you redneck's go, maybe we'l ship your sorry butts to the everglades to give the panthers some hunting practice.

I think Obama should choose Condoleeza Rice as vice-president. That would be some Democratic-Republican combo, and she is a woman. Plus she has about as much experience as Obama to be the next president!

I'll take that chance, considering the GOP has spent 8 years convincing me that they cannot be trusted.

So you're unhappy with the situation now and you're going to do something different and that's going to make it better? Not a very logical train of thought. But then liberals do have lower IQs than conservatives.

So doing the same thing that is already known to not work is, in your analysis, logical?

My IQ is 165. How's yours?

Wrong Direction?

I disagree. If not for high gas prices and the housing situation where too many people signed either stupid loans or bought a house they simply couldn..t pay for, I think our economy would be singing along right now on all 8 cylinders. I refuse to give up on the United States of America. Too many good hard working people to give up on.

Half of our problem would be solved if our Congress would open up drilling and exploration in and around this country and get the US off of middle eastern oil. The other half, housing, will right itself. Fact. As bad as the housing seems on the nightly news, 95% of mortgage holders in this country are paying their mortgages on time. I personally haven..t missed a one since I bought my first house in ..93.

I am in the new home construction business in three states in the southeastern part of our country. Commercial building in my three states is humming right along. Building everyday.

If Pelosi would get off her kick about wanting to save the world and allow our country to be energy independent and even build nuclear power plants like other countries in the world, alot of our problems today would be solved. Of course, Pelosi doesn..t need anything positive happening right now or in the next six months because her party has an election to win. What is happening dialy with Americans struggling to afford to fill their gas tanks couldn..t concern Pelosi or her Dem controlled Congress at all. They couldn..t care less about people right now and through the end of the year.

Fact. Gas prices have been dropping since Bush lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling. Period. All it took was this countries leaders talking about it. If Congress were to lift all the bans in this country... immediatly, gas prices would fall much, much more. In my business, if my customers were tired of paying my high prices for my product and they were simply talking about manufacturing their own product instead of continueing to buy it from me, I would lower my prices in a heartbeat...

That will never happen because, like I said, Pelosi and our ahhm big evil Democratic led Congress, with their approval rating of just 9%, have an election to win. John Doe struggling today and tommorrow doesn..t matter.

I get to expense all my gas... Last month, I turned in over $800.00 in gas alone... I don..t have to buy gas.

McCain's Double Standard: Hawk In The Drug War, Yet His Wife Got No Penalty
by Stanton P------...The other possible public reaction is one of anger. Americans are prosecuted every day for such drug use. While most drug abusers purchase their drugs from street dealers, Mrs. McCain used her status as a charity director and senator's wife to cajole the drugs she wanted.
In fact, Mrs. McCain was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration after the agency was approached by a former staff member of her charity. The investigation resulted in no charges or prison time for her, and she entered a diversion program. While these records were not made public at the time, Mrs. McCain eventually confessed her drug use when she learned that a reporter was investigating the story.
Is Mrs. McCain to be judged as a pitiable victim or as a criminal felon? This debate is at the heart of the discussion of American drug policy. Should we deal with illicit drug users as victims or as criminals?
Let's examine Mrs. McCain's position in these terms. She was the privileged wife of a prominent family and spouse of an important politician, a person who had her own position of prestige and power. Should she not be held at least as accountable for her actions as an uneducated inner-city drug user? After all, she could enter drug treatment at any time she chose, unlike many drug users who find themselves in prison.
Moreover, Mrs. McCain was violating a position of trust by stealing from a charitable organization, using its money and medical expertise to fuel her drug use. Is this not morally more reprehensible than simply purchasing drugs illegally...
