Teat juice must make socialism palatable?

Tell the judge you've got more important things to do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

Hey, good people can disagree.

Hell, we can even get mad and go at it harder than we would like. But disagreeing over an issue this close to home for a lot of people is no excuse to throw insults around and question the work ethic, or patriotism, or manliness of those on the other side.

Stick just cannot disagree over the smallest of issues without tossing out insults and demeaning explitives. The first time he ever posted to answer something I said he called me a 'goofy bastard' and threatened to whip me. I told him then that if we were face to face he'd never use that language on me. I returned the favor to him on my last post. He deserves it.

But that threat to whip me is laughable and juvenile. Something straight out of 6th grade. Some men never grow up. To take that fantasy into the realm of real life he'd need to grow in more ways than one. He's a soft little man with a loud disposition.

If my job could be replaced by unskilled mexican labour I might be scared....
Union are not only no longer needed, but they are killing MFG in this country. Just ask GM and Ford why they cant compete with Honda and Toyota when both all are building vehicles in the US.

I've never been forced to dream,my Resume is overflowing with BT/DT's.

AK has no State tax,but I live where there is a Sales tax. You are consistent in your cluelessness and that do take some doing,I'm beginning to become impressed...see whatcha can do there,in your misguided ramblings.

Sounds like "danger" is your business. You mighta got grease on your hands once,scratched your eye and got a tear outta the deal. I'm on the edge of my seat,living vicariously through them exploits(give or take)...cyber hanky to you.

My Dad is a Taxidermist in the Lower 48,who never worked in Alaska,let alone in any of my Trades. I'm beginning to get more impresseder,as you are a delusional NutJob.

I'm not one to dry hump a Mouse Motor,but I've no doubt it's as close as you can get,to the real thing....................

I've never understood the mentality that one should have a guranteed job, be paid enough for all the needs/wants in life just because they've learned some skill, whether blue or white collar.

If you really want control over what's going on, then become one of those evil company owners. Then you'll get the thrill of really working hard, and having everything you own on the line to creditors and hopefully you can find folks willing to work for you.

Most of my experience with unions is OCAW, and never have I seen folks who make so much bitch about what little they have to do. When somebody makes $150k a year, for working 5 months on a 2 & 2 schedule and can only say what a-holes they work for, it's hard to have sympathy for them.

If your job sucks, the only thing keeping you from quitting, moving or taking up a new vocation is the guy that stares at you in the mirror.

This is exactly the impression I've gotten from the oil and chemical workers unions down here. The better you are at something, the more money you deserve. If you're lazy and incompetent, tough [bleep]. If you think you're company is mistreating you, go somewhere else. It's really pretty simple.

Most of the union guys posting here seem to work in construction.

Most of my experience with unions was with industrial unions in the northeast and mostly in the 1980s. I would be amazed if any member of the USW, UAW, URW (now defunct), IBT, or IUE back then would boast of working hard or working through lunch. Instead they would boast of sabotaging the company in one way or another. Then, when their company shut down or moved to Georgia to escape the union, they'd howl about how loyal they had been.

Do times change? I tend to doubt it. I cannot think of a single example of an industry in which there are a mix of unionized and union-free companies where the former aren't shrinking and the latter expanding.

And, in the few examples I know about, the union-free workers are very glad they are not herded into a union.

OK. Nothing I say has anything to do with construction unions in the NorthWest.

I just want to know is "Sticks" motor in his car makes more HP than my Bike?? Now my bike motor was engineered (Scott Shafiroff) for a flat TQ curve but still puts out a little over 700hp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

~sigh~

Alaska has no STATE sales tax or income tax. See, that is the part the rest of the country pays for you. Pay attention, you're falling behind. Most of the rest of us have to pay a state sales tax and a state income tax plus all the county and municipality taxes. You get off easy courtesy of the pipeline the rest of us paid for and built.

As for your background and intro to the business, all I can say is pick a story and stick to it. Enough said on that.

With all due respect Stick, I could give you one of my engines and if you had to take it apart and reassemble it I would be shocked if it didn't lose 25 horsepower in the process. And it would just impress the hell out of me if it lasted through practice and qualifying without ventilating the block.

Since they started making me stand behind bulletproof glass during the pulls, danger has nothing to do with it. It's about knowhow, precision, and craftsmanship. But if we ever run into trouble we'll be sure and call you.

Tis better to be thought of as an idiot then open your mouth and remove all doubt.................................

700 ponies,is more than my Toyotas can muster..............

Laffin' at you're [bleep] idiocy. Quit smokin' the rope man...it's twisting your [bleep] up.

"Righty-tighty/Left-loosey" may impress some,but I am not one.....................

You're full of [bleep]....

Don't take ALL the bait outta the water,damnit.(grin)

You in your office? Any trouble getting to work?.............

I'm in the office, no sweat on the commute. Back on 2/2 now...

Momma and her Boss,got hungchow on the Northbound,from 'South. Had to overnight an extry day,due to weather delays.

I'll catch you for a week then and we are back to overlapping,with you in the lead...................

I heard something about delayed flights, but paid more attention to what Bernice was pouring......

She is a doll.

Think I'll bring her some of Momma's fu-fu girly stuff she makes....................

She's had tentative plans to visit us a few times, but her schedule and ours weren't matching up. She lived in Paradise for a time, years ago...
