Reply By: rugbyshawnPosted: Thursday, September 30, 2004I know this may be too much common sense but.....Why can't the minimum wage be adjusted annually for inflation? Hey you, pack up your common sense and get the hell outta here...can't you see we're talking about politics? Err, uhh, what I meant to
Reply By: Grim Xiozan so how am I a freaking hypocrite. You said that no one should turn to you for ethics? But ethics in an of themselves are values...sayi
That's it? That's the scenario? Uhh...fine the $100 one. But maybe these don't make sense to me since I'm not much of a good American consumer, I don't buy a lot of useless shit. When I buy something I want to make sure it's quality and that I won't have to worry about it failing my purpose for buying it. Yes, I've purchased foreign made bikes because they were better quality than equivalent US made bikes, but I bought them from small businesses w
This thread has become very disappointing to me as it has been somewhat high-jacked into bringing up recycled arguments that everyone has had to deal with in the last few years. My argument on this entire matter is that regardless of how you feel about the three-letter word addition contraversay, our country has a lot more important things to worry about. It's a great distraction to banter back and forth about Political Correctness in this case, whic
If the minimum wage were raised enough to be a "living wage", small businesses as we know them would cease to exist. They just couldn't afford it. So therefore... Living
It could even be BAW - Blogging At Work, then we could use it as a verb. One could begin their blog with "So I was doing some BAWing today when a coworker came up to me and demanded to know who ate the last poppy seed muffin....."
Why would anybody pay two people to do one job? For God's sake we're talking about getting the fucking lawn mowed here...not a 9-5 factory job. Why do parents pay their children an allowance to make their beds and set the table at dinner...because they can and they want to teach them some responsibilit
I love that you quoted p diddy at the end...you actually made me laugh on a Wed. afternoon before I have to go back to work this afternoon....thanks. Yes, take that Bill...take that! -Suspeckted PS - I always wished that I could order cable TV a la carte, because the Daily Show is one of the best shows on television, but I just can't justify all the other crap I'd have to pay for along with it.
#1 - #2 Your options seem very incomplete...why not hire them both to switch off every time it needed to be mowed? Or hire one to mow your lawn and tell the other he could clear the sidewalk and driveway of snow in the winter? And how in the hell would the government decide what lawn mowing is worth $50? Just because it's a hypothetical scenario doesn't mean it should be completely unbelievable. Since I would be the personal employer I'd have no pr
Fair enough, but I'm just encouraging you to show your child that though it's great that he loves the President with his rose-colored perceptions, it would be just as okay if he didn't.
I've decided that Blogging on the Job needs a cool acronym. BOTJ just doesn't cut it....any suggestions?
I think the pledge you shared above is a terrific little motto for kids (and adults), but I don't think it should be a replacement for the pledge of allegiance. But it isn't a replacement...it's an addition. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-T
When Christian Socialist Francis Bellamy wrote The Pledge of Allegiance he probably never would have guessed that it would become such a heated issue post Y2K. The Pledge of Allegiance, recalls for many, the heated debates of constitutionality just a few years ago over the presence of a three-letter word that was added to the original Pledge in 1954. Though this deb
Post-College life is pretty tough...and I can definitely appreciate the longing to end your loneliness. I finally took a step and got the phone number of a real legit girl, now I just have to decide when I'm going to muster up the courage to pretend to be a legit guy in front of her. For real though, I don't want to tell you that college is the best time of your life cause I'm holding onto the hope that the best time/years of my life have yet to be.
A little while back Joe User poster boy Muggaz wrote an article expressing his sorrow at the loss of being able to blog on the job. Link This morning I have found that I now share his fate. Because I work at a school, our server filters out a lot of stuff for various reasons, some obvious, some rediculous.
This was orignally going to be a song when I thought I could attempt to be a musician...found it in a notebook from this past winter and thought it was kind of fun. You say I've lost my chance, of doing anything to you with these hands, well now isn't this a change of plans, why all of a sudden do you take this stance? I know
It's my pinnacle of absurdity...I didn't just make that word up did I? thanks Nobody Important, always smile in spite of your mystery.
I'll sleep with Rush, that sure would shut up the Right for awhile. Chewbacca, ET, or one of the Gremlins -Suspeckted
So wait, maybe I missed it..what's the job? I was a security guard for a year in college working midnight - 8am, but it was only one day a week and an occasional weekend or two...that messed me up pretty bad. Especially since I had class at noon the next day! Good Luck, and avoid sugar late at night. that always gave me bad gut rot. -suspeckted
Aww, another fellow Minnesotan. I was on the Luce Line bike trail today and ran into two guys with rifles who were duck hunting...comical and scary at the same time. I missed my chance to go the Renaissance Festival for free this year since one of my buddies works there...oh well, perhaps another time. Hope you're enjoying the cooler weather as much as I am.

If you've never heard the floor creak beneath your feet you've never risen before 6 a.m. for work, your apartment, your home, your room aches and moans, but still arises with you. Even when we pound its walls, slam its doors, and drag heavy furniture down its halls. Until in total disregard,
The other day I drove around, for a half hour, looking for cheaper gas. Settled for more expensive than the first, settled for less than a full tank, to concede defeat. Inside the cafe, I'm offered the burnt weekday 11am coffee, as the server listens to pop-rock B-sides, reminding me that I made a wise decision, by for
I can never reason with myself, under these circumstances, of what better way, to move so slowly, push my back against the grass, a spectator, watching moon backlit clouds, fly across, an autumn hungry atmosphere. All I can offer, is to quench its thirst, by cleaning my eyes and mind, to see and think stra
I have a Daisy BB gun with a scope on it in my trunk...but I have yet to kill anything with it. Just give it a pump or two and it will probably sting 'em bad enough to stay away. Let me know if you want to borrow it. Suspeckted
Hightower has done a good job at exposing stuff like this...makes me want to puke.
