  1. I think you need to be careful saying good recruiter equals crook.
  2. You know when i first saw this, my first thought was Keanu was homeless now. That's the first thing I thought. Then I wondered what dumpster he found the Husker hat in.
  3. Published on Friday, December 2, 2011 by Al Jazeera Global Rebellion: The Coming Chaos? Global elites are confused, reactive, and sinking into a quagmire of their own making, says author.
  4. Will we so more diamond formation if Stoops come here?
  5. They look more like the Tea Partiers that I know than your stereotypical Middle Eastern terrorist. The rhetoric is a more inflammatory version of Tea Party beliefs as well. (Now if I wanted to paint with a broad brush I would say that if people think Muslim=Terrorist because of the actions of a few . . . than Tea Partier=Terrorist. I don't believe that . . . just making a point.) That wouldn't be painting with a broad brush it would be eating paint chips. ...just making a point. Your analogy doesn't work very well but you did manage to connect the paint in "paint with a broad brush" to the paint in "eating paint chips." Kudos. My anology works just fine. You may want to read up on some effects of lead poisoning. It would likely explain the links you tried to make earlier.
  6. I don't want to come right out and tell you are wrong, but as a member of the real world I have to tell you there are a few things that I just don't get. In most industries the 'pay more for the best workers' is a long forgotten ideal. You can't just run a business because someone has a pulse. This is a gross generalization and far from accurate. I have people that work for me that make $10 an hour with no benefits and I have some that make $40-50K with great benefits. Most of my crew is hourly and in the 35K range. In general, I can get just about anyone that isn't a drug addict to do my $10 jobs. When I start getting to $15-20 an hour, that just isn't the case. Surprisingly, I don't get a lot of applicants for open positions. Say that you don't have to pay more for the best, especially in a state like Nebraska, is a farce. The industry/market decides what a particular employee is worth. I have a hard time believing that Taco Bell, Burger King, McDonald's and the local car wash have a master plan on they are going to screw someone. I can't get people for many of my positions if I don't pay. The phrase 'best profit' is something from the horrible influence the stock market has on everything. A profit yes, but seeing what ways you can screw over your employes or customers, to get a little more, not a chance. This is OWS talk. If your business can't make a profit that is at a minimum equal to traditional investment vehicles, then you are wasting your time. I will slow it down for those that have to take a breath between the puffs. If an entity has $100K there are many things they can do with. They could buy stocks/bonds/invest in other projects or they could put it back into their business. If the operating profit of your business is less than what you would get out in the market then your business is a loser. There really isn't anything to debate here. Screwing over an employee or a customer is completely up to the person working there or buying the product. I have been on the short end at previous employers and guess what....I left. I have had crappy service/products before and guess what....I don't go back. Corporate profits have actually been up in the last couple years, but do the workers in these companies get raises for their hard work? This is another blanket OWS statement. I really don't know what the corporate profits look like, nor does it really matter. I have worked for three companies in the last 10 years and only one year have we not had a merit increase. The fields that I have worked in it is pretty simple. You drive the costs out of your product/process costs or it will be made in Mexico/China. Wages are a big part, but abuse of health care may be one of the worst. Prices of commodities (oil is in everything folks, not just your gas tanks), legal costs, regulations are all other things that rarely get discussed. Employees abusing government leave rules add a tremendous amount of burden to a company as well. I don't want to paint a rosy picture and say everything is great because that just isn't true, but at some point the generic rhetoric and propaganda needs to stop. Why we throw every corporation, bank & trader into this bucket is beyond me? It's like everything else, there is a very small minority that is ruining it for the rest of us. I understand this is a board that is about opinions and that is extremely important. But it concerns me how many people run with arguments that are so vague. The victim mentality is permeating our culture like a virus.

  8. Even with the more current headlines of protesters getting the boot from their little camps, who cares? This guy cares. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6TYegabREQ
  9. I know what I wrote....hence the 'I guess'. No changing of parameters I just find it interesting that in order to prove your point you first post a blog that is over a year old. It is the number 1 blog in Virginia. As rock solid as that is you take a step further by posting a clip that is 2 1/2 years old. How long had he been president? 3 months. It's your graphs that really do it for me. There should be one coming soon. You're the only one that can critique sources. You may want to go back to your post (#3) were you ignore 4 articles so you can needle one. The reason those articles were posted was in response to 'Why someone might have issues with Michelle Obama' (Which is an opinion), so were they came from really isn't relevant to begin with. You have a knack for finding something out of left field and trying to make it the focus. I do understand if you post something (graphs included) it's rock solid, everyone else...it just depends on whether you agree with them or not. You posted 1 video. That is what I asked for. You win.
  10. Leach will rip up that no defense conference. I bet it won't take long either.
  11. The same could have been said about Mark "Bo" Pelini when he was the STARTING Safety for OHIO STATE. Thanks for taking us back to 1990. Game hasn't changed much since then.
  12. I could care less about the reputation if it worked.
  13. American businesses are also hurt buy the fact that they are the only ones who have to pay for health care, the most expensive and waste ladened health care in the world. Don't forget to add how our horrible diets and morbid obesity are one of the single biggest factors in our unsustainable appetites for health care.
  14. I'll take it a step further.....What is actual journalism? Can anyone find a negative Obama story on MSNBC? MSNBC, owned by GE, that doesn't pay taxes, run by Obama's Job Czar. It all makes sense. http://www.varight.c...a-than-foxnews/ Did you even watch the video for the article that you posted? What is shocking about it? For article that carries the subject 'MSNBC more Negative towards Obama than FoxNews', I would think they would post a video that actually has something negative. You posted a few threads up that you agreed that you like facts in your news. Can you interpret any of the following quotes for me? What the hell does that mean? What's negative? What's positive? Who decides? If that video is the example of a negative story they want to go with, this is all pretty lame. You just used a glorified Blog post. If you look at one of the varight.com links at the bottom, it is the #1 blog in Virginia. Well done. I was thinking more Rick Santelli on CNBC from a few years back. I'm surprised he didn't get fired. That was negative. I really should be fair. Using a blog is a step up from what you guys typically have.......Daily Show and South Park clips. I didn't link it because of the video. You asked for a single negative story about Obama on MSNBC. I tried to provide a big picture story but since you will apparently be content with a single example I'll leave this for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Z2ac34RDI Now, if you'd like to change your argument and request more than one example I would happily oblige. I guess man. Definitely questioning him. Hardly a beating. I would think you wouldn't have to back 2.5 years to find a video, but whatever. That Maddow guy seems like a fair journalist. Immelt was appointed in January of this year by the way. I'm sure there is a graph you can find that will support whatever point it is you are trying to make.
  15. How old is this seriously? Hopefully someone starts posting Jerry Tagge videos soon.
  16. I never really bought into the harassment claims. To me this latest incident is different. Based upon the comments, I've read he is acknowledging some sort of relationship with this lady. I fell for it. I thought he wasn't a politician, but he's just like the rest of them.
  17. I think this would be an awesome picture to add captions to: Santa: Dad: Kid:
  18. I don't really have a dog in this race (couldn't care less), I just think it is interesting. http://news.yahoo.co...-173027276.html
  19. 2 years at Bowling Green, 2 years at Utah, 6 at Florida with the last being an 8-5 season. Quits and they go 6-6. Shows up again at Ohio State. I know why he says he left Florida, but................
  20. Kiffen was sending a message. He wanted to embarrass the team that was going to be playing for the championship this weekend.
  21. They have a kid they were using to run the 'Wildcat' formation. He looked pretty good. I could easily see him standing next to Jamal Turner on the sidelines.
  22. It has been this way all year. Ball piles up touchdowns in garbage time. Oklahoma State did it in all the games that weren't shootouts. I don't really blame this on Beerma or Wisky. This is the BCS game. If anyone watched LSU and Alabama play this weekend you know what I'm talking about. Several analysts were already talking about how Bama needed to punk Auburn to make sure they kept their spots in the polls. LSU needed to destroy Arkansas so even they didn't play well in the SEC championship, they wouldn't fall out of the top 2. If anyone thought that USC wasn't going to run it up on UCLA then you just don't follow college football very well.
  23. It appears that you have been duped. Dr. Sowell apparently did not write that . . . rather it has just been copied and pasted from one conservative blog to another and attributed to him. People should really research these things before regurgitating nonsense. Interesting advice considering the source.
