Actually it's not a decent comparison at all. The question was who would have an easier time getting a job. We are basically comparing an industry (manufacturing) that is bleeding jobs to an industry (IT) that has more jobs then there are skilled workers. It goes without saying that there would be a learning curve for…

If I boycotted every business that did something I didn't agree with I would be naked and have nothing to eat.

I don't think comparing experienced software engineers to workers experienced in a manufacturing position is the best way to get your point across. An experienced software engineer regardless of what languages they used will have very little difficulty getting employment. Once the manufacturing position is gone that's it.…

I do not think your sexuality is a choice that you make. Either you find members of the same sex or opposite sex attractive or you don't. Is one born like that? I don't think it is that simple. My best guess is there are a multitude of factors that go into a person's sexual preference including the environment they grow up…

I switched from Comcast to Directv because Comcast was so bad. Turns out they are all terrible. I am thinking about a Roku box after my Directv contract is up and just sign up for hulu plus/netflix stream.

I don't miss any of the channels but I will probably give direct tv a call and b1tch about it to get my rate lowered :)

Oh no. I am not violent. That was a tongue in cheek response to Debra's revolution post :)

Both parties are corrupt. Time to buy a gun!

I am sure none of that increased productivity has anything to do with technology or automation. Just because a machine is doing the work 10 workers used to do in the same amount of time doesn't mean the remaining workers deserve a pay increase. An employer will never pay you what you think you are worth. They will pay you…

It's really sad that an organization such as the BSOA that does so much good for young men is so intolerant.

Just because a 90% tax rate existed doesn't mean it was good or it worked. Anyone a 90% tax rate would affect would have ample time to work around it. It would happen now and it surely happened then. As far as the US prospering goes... Two recessions and uncontrollable inflation occurred in the 50s but at least the rich…

Stop jacking all of the comforter.

I find it mildly amusing some of the lovely ladies in this thread see a broken engagement as a windfall. Cheers! :smile:

Breast enhancement is for vanity. Circumcision is for health or religious reasons. Pretty big difference.

I would build a zombie proof bunker.

That's is a crazy commute. :smile: Live in Gainesville and work in Alpharetta.

Did he use a legendary?

Thanks for this. I tried it last night. Tastes great made with Greek yogurt and blueberries!

Don't worry. The CDC has your back! http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2012/07/cdcs_weddingday_survival_guide/

The majority during the Clinton years was Republican. I see a pattern!

I didn't miss that Obama is for keeping a large part of the tax cut in place.

Didn't the Bush era tax cuts get extended by Obama? I suppose he could have just let them lapse. At what point do they become the Obama tax cuts? :wink: For what it's worth, I was against the Bush tax cuts when they were passed in 2001 and I fully expected Obama to let them lapse. He disappointed me. One more point about…

Haha... The business I work for deals in currency conversion. Feel free to pay in whatever currency you want! :smile:

What language people speak doesn't bother me. The real debate here is how should government and businesses accommodate people that do not speak English?

There will never be an ideal time to get married. Just do it when you feel you are both ready. I got married at 29 but I was with my wife for 8 years already. I guess we just formalized it which sounds like what you want to do.

Yup. I agree with you 100%.

You agree to all the terms and conditions of the HOA when you purchase the house. If you do not like them then don't buy the house. There are bad HOAs around but in general they are pretty good. The bad ones tend to get reputations which actually lowers the property values in the community which is pretty funny when you…

I resubbed and made a Worgen Mage named Dundry. I never played the Worgen starter quests and have limited experience leveling up an ally toon so it should be fun.

I live in GA. It doesn't really matter who I vote for.

Clearly the benevolent companies will give employees a raise based on the difference! :laugh:
