I agree with Daiwa, and yet also find myself agreeing with Charles, Nitro, and DrGuy. It was poorly done, and too easily spun by those who seriously view it as "terrorism" propaganda. The message just did not get through. It's idiots like them that make those of us green advocates, who think before we act, look bad. Yeah, right...make the world think we're all nuts, just because you didn't use your head. ~L
Understandable. I've been generally reluctant to vote in general. With time I've become rather jaded with politics in general. Both parties suck, and I really don't see them changing any time soon. Lately, I've found that my belief that it is naive to think that any change (real or otherwise) will come and that ultimately we have to be the change, has only grown. ~L
I'm not really into praying like KFC is, seeing as I'm agnostic, but I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts. I wish you and your family the best. Go kick that cancer's butt. :) ~Lucas

I've always shown up for work; in fact, setting aside one or two incidents that were out of my hands, I have always arrived early and done my done, as it was supposed. And again you miss the point. (I or) Any potential employer don't know if you have perfect attendance on your interview. Your response does tell me more about your personality though. You obviously get offended by generic questions,
[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="63" id="2750592"] However, ONCE/IF America turns to religious nationalism then we are in trouble because the idea of one religion being as good as another is a false principle and societies don't survive on false principles.[/quote] "As good as another" - Mind clarifying?

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="64" id="2750891"] My hair is short and neat, my goatee is trimmed, You might want to lose the Goatee at least for now. I changed jobs a year ago, and my wife suggested I shave my beard. I did. And got an offer in a couple of weeks! While beards are popular (I like mine), some places do not like them. I remember at one Job Fair where I was told my the EDS guy that no facial hair was accepted at their place (I was not real

[quote]I never compared you to God. Again, reading comprehension! I said you must feel your words are God's words since to disagree with them is blasphemy!

[quote who="Nitro Cruiser" reply="53" id="2749793"] That's the thing, I've been putting applications in and going to interviews. Do you look like a scruff? Have pink hair? Wear jeans and a tee-shirt to an interview? I ask this because people actually do this going to job interviews. I have seen help wanted signs in my area at fast food places and places like Lowe's and Home Depot. I have no idea what vibe you give off, but you can't look like a guy that's going to
[quote]OK that's fair, but what is the ulterior motive you mention? Political? I hardly believe that. By Beck own words, he's had a lot of issues in his life. As we all know it isn't where you are, it's mostly where you been. Does his popularity threaten you? Or maybe your political views?[/quote] It's hard to surmise really, given I've not had the chance to meet him personally. So, what I'm going to propose is really just a half cocked guess. It seems possible
[quote]Come on you can flip burgers and do better than that, even if you can only work part-time. Heck, you'd even get all the taxes back you paid in at the end of the year (except SS and Medicare, but you DO support those, right?). You realize that you are hurting yourself (especially at 5 bucks an hour) as you are not building credit both personal and with SS (towards your retirement, if it exists then). No shame in an honest job. BTW you can get a deferment, if you are not makin

~Nitro~ You're right; you are totally right. I should know better than to not stop for a second, especially knowing I have a temper. I don't agree with your observation of me having thin skin, but only in the sense that I know I don't normally have a thin skin. I'm just under a lot of stress and made a bad judgment call. Also, as I mentioned to doc, I have a low BS tolerance and I didn't care for his attitude. So, it was really a bad situation from the begi
