you are right about your stance on unions. don't let him manipulate your position by painting you out to be an evil sweat-shop monster.

you are fine holding your ground. if sweatshops were a bad choice for those involved, they wouldn't be working in them. compared the choices we have in the US, they are a bad choice but compared the choices of the workers in 3rd world countries they represent a great opportunity.

People are getting paid 30-40$ a hour as demanded by the union. They fucking bolt on doors and shit... I personally don't think you should make that much for doing something a trained monkey could do. Half the fucking shit is automated now anyway in gm factories. so they are in actuality paying the fat fucks of the unions to push fucking buttons. Unions should be disbanded imo.

You wouldn't be working a 40 hour week if it weren't for unions.
You wouldn't get workers comp if it weren't for unions.
Each and every foot of progress made on behalf of the American working class is a result of the unions.


Unions are why companies are taking their business to other countries. It's a failing system. 40 hours a week... people should be working more than 40 hours a week. Workers comp. well that should be more dependant on circumstances. too many people take advantage of work comp in dishonest ways.

know what i just noticed?
not much of ol' blue eyes here yet, and none of his acting roles.

heheh - now that I"m a bit more sober, I have to pull back just a bit from that grandiose compliment. It is one hell of a playlist, though.

I used to have a similar (i.e., word for word identical) philosophy on music. But after years of listening to the likes of the Grateful Dead, Bela Fleck, Johnny Cash, Allison Krauss, and dozens of other country musicians, I realized that what I didn't like in country was the same as what I didn't like in contemporary pop music - no soul. There is an incredible amount of really great country music out there if you learn to avoid the pop music crap created in Nashville studios. Given your otherwise very eclectic tastes, I'd recommend keeping that door not entirely closed.

Thanks man, Yeah my tastes in music is pretty much everything except country music. If I wanted to hear men crying then I'd go to a strip club and listen in on what they say to the hook erm um strippers
