Sorry but I don't think I missed your point. Also I am not playing ignorant. I didn't think those points needed recognition.

I recognize unemployment is at an all time high.
I recognize a large percentage of those are college graduates.
I believe everything you said. I pretty much agreed with your idea, sorry if I'm misinterpreting is that, jobs are hard to get these days even for college students and there is a definite issue with over qualifications.

I don't understand what I said that would induce a statement from you encouraging a response from me in the terms "You are right, and I was wrong". I re-read what I wrote and don't think that there was any blanket statement made, let alone one that has an extreme contradiction to what you said. So sorry if I'm a little lost. If you could quote the statement I made that you clearly disagree with I would be happy to discuss.

One of my points I feel like you may of missed, is that College is graduating more people in fields then there are jobs for that field. Which isn't helpful because people end up "throwing away" their degrees and getting jobs in other fields and now have to pay off student loans making it hard to get by.

I do recognize the issue with Entry Level Jobs. In programming I see job offerings all the time that say "Entry Level Position" then on it "2-4 years experience" I already have a job so I every time I see that I've started e-mailing those companies "2-4 Years expierience" !== "Entry Level" (!== means not equal, nerd joke).

Also their is a difference between Lying and omission from a Resume. I guess I shouldn't of used "Lie". My bad. Their is nothing wrong with not putting in PHD and rather just putting in BA. You don't have to put everything on a resume, I mean I've seen some with people with Dog Watching on their resume. A lot of job consultants will tell you not to make one generic and use it for everyone. Tweak it to what's important to the company you are applying for. Not lying.

My issue with this whole "99%":
1) How is picketing Wall Street helping Jobs. These people don't have a game plan, they are just screaming. Wall Street guys are huge douche bags, but at the same time I still have money in the market and my portfolio is still doing well. It's growth has definitely slowed over the past few years but it is still more then 3 years ago. Mainly I diversified. All these people who lost all their money had all their eggs in one basket. Which there is a saying for that.
2) They keep blaming Fox News / Republicans. But a republican isn't president, and for a period Democrats held House and Senate and President. During these times They still blamed Fox News / Republicans for everything. Dems had all the power at a time and didn't do shit with it. I just want to know when they are going to start holding Obama accountable. Obama is a terrible president. The problem is when I say that people think I'm defending Bush or some crap. Fuck Bush. Fuck Obama. Give me another Option. I though Clinton did a fine job. So did Bush Sr.
3) I can't get behind these people because they have no Game Plan. If they had Action Items Examples "Fire This Person", "Pass This Bill", "something" I could possibly get behind their ideas and message. But they don't so I don't even know what they want. They just go "I don't like the economy and the job situation". Nobody does. Hell even Rich do, the higher employment is, the more money Ford, Chevy, Coca Cola, other big companies make. So they are not against jobs.

To quote Lewis Black "Republicans have Bad Ideas, Democrats have No Ideas".

>> ^MycroftHomlz:

I am slightly frustrated (annoyed) that you missed my point, given that I think I made it very clear.
Not everyone who is having trouble finding a job is undereducated, not willing to explore labor jobs, educated in something that is not useful, or self-entitled.
In fact, quite the opposite. Most people I know who are having trouble finding work are unemployed because they lack industry experience, which they can't get because no one is hiring entry level positions. Thus, your reductive and simplistic rant is an naive interpretation of the current economic situation. As such, your blanket statements about people who can't find a job are simply false.
I gave a specific example that demonstrated empirically (a concrete example of) my point. To reiterate (repeat), highly educated people are unable to obtain labor jobs due to their credentials, because companies like Safeway, Wholes Foods, Walmart, etc fear these employees will not stay long enough to recoup any investment in training.
The fact that you persist in clinging on to your beliefs and cant say simply "You are right, and I was wrong. Good point, I should not have made a blanket statement" indicates to me that you are willfully ignorant (intentionally making an effort to not understand).
I look forward to your reply.
Here are the specific answers to your questions:
1) I am an experimental physicist and my wife is a biologist.
2) At research universities (Harvard, Stanford, etc), Professors hired based on research. Typically they are pioneers in their field and have numerous high profile publications.
3) My position is based on merit. As I said, I received numerous awards based on my academic and research performance.
4 & 5) non sequiturs (off topic).
6) You advice is to LIE! What is she supposed to say she has done for employment in the last 6 years? Are you kidding me?
>> ^ptrcklgrs:
1) My first question is what is your PHD in.
2) College sadly has gotten to be a for profit education system.
3) IV league schools probably only 10% of the people who go there, got in on merit.
4) I had a teacher in college who made us Buy his book... I had great teachers and I had shitty teachers.
5) I just want to be able to get rid of the shitty teachers to bring in more great teachers.
6) I undestand your issue with being over qualified and it sucks. If I were you or your wife, I would leave it off my resume and lie. If your dealing with Safeway or a big company, no one is getting hurt. I wouldn't do that to a Mom and Pop Shop.

OK, I'll blame most of the discrepancy in details to the incredibly crapy quality of this video, I get about 1 frame per second at best and it won't fullscreen, so it's difficult to see anything clearly. I now see what you mean about the sheet metal/cab not being torn (but it was incredibly difficult to get it to stop on the one frame where that's visible). I think I also see the frame rail move, extreemly difficult to see, but it does seem to obscure part of the drive shaft when it breaks the cab mounts, then it does seem to rotate on that bend point and not break completely. My mistake. Still incredibly strange and possibly (probably?)faked, but not difinitavely. 'FAKE' retracted.

You assume the frame was bent in a flip. The problem with that theory is that the frame is cut clean through. If the frame rails were still there, bent or not, they would have made it impossible for the car (truck) to cleanly break in 2 that way. If you look closely, you can see the frame rails on the front of the vehicle, but not on the rear. It's possible the view is obstructed, but it's not possible that they both broke cleanly at the fold point, the same goes for the sheet metal. My guess would be it's upside down so they could cut the back half off easily.>> ^Payback:

It's not a car. It's a GM full size "Supercab" or "Cab Plus" pickup. The kind with the jump seats and half rear doors that only open when the main doors are open. What you are saying is a "cut through the back door" isn't a door at all. It's the back panel of the cab of the truck.
Looks like the frame got bent when it flipped. Also, the challenge with Chevys is AVOIDING bending them in half in that direction.


Well yes, that is an assumption given the frame LOOKS bent at the beginning, but you're mistaken on a couple points.
-The cab is not cut. What you see rising out of the water is a complete cab, with the rear window crushed and the panel just below the rear window pushed in.
-The frame is not cut. The frame has been weakened (like a power antenna in a car wash) and no longer has any rigidity. The point where the frame is bending seems to be at the rear transmission crossbrace or transfer case mount. The frame is acting like a hinge, about 3 ft in "front" of the cab-to-box gap. The rear most cab mounts have been ripped out as well.

I guess no one noticed the car was pre-cut along the center line, and was already in 2 pieces at the beginning of the video? This is an obvious fake. Metal does not tear like paper in a straight line without any twist or resistance. Close viewing shows it is cut through the middle of the rear door. This is NOT a place a car could break.
Duh...Losing

Why would the roof be cut so straight then? If it bent along the connection between the bed and the cabin, wouldn't the back of the cabin still be intact? I'm not even arguing one way or the other. Regardless of cutting, I think it was the intent to fold it. Why would any sober person ever think that towing a car in that manner would work?

Shame this car was canned by GM brass under pressure from the Chevy/Corvette engineers, especially since the 'Vette sucked so bad through these years.
