I'd give Obama a C- or a D+ (he did inherit a mess, and he's made it worse). but Nancy Pelosi is a F. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

We sort of did that. If any one of us remaining IT guys do make it to our termination dates, we will be paid a bonus. We tried to play hardball with them and some of our demands were met. But some weren't. In the end personally I just don't give a damn. If something better comes along, I am gone and they know this. Once again this thread wasn't started because I am losing my job. I found out 6 weeks ago that I was being phased out (I am lucky, I could have been one of the guys who was let go when local management decided to use the 3rd party provider). No part of this thread is because I am ticked off that people who helped make this a successful profitable entity are losing their jobs. And well I am just having some fun with anarchy. But real anarchy is not fun. Just ask the people of Somalia and possibly soon to be Pakistan what they think of anarchy. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I do need to jump more. I went from someone who lived to jump to someone who shrugged it off. Pond? wow that would be the bomb ... but my JVX scares right me now ... I don't have to tell you this, but swooping is something that you really need to be current with. The margin for error is slim. But a pond might be enough influence to get me motivated again.

In the IT world there are historically two hiring times in a calendar year. Now (January to April) and in the fall (September to November). So depending on how things go I may need to be patient. Fortunately I do not have a large mortgage. In fact if I sold my 911 (which I do not want to sell at this time) I would be debt free. It is after all just a toy. If I am unemployed this summer I may take the free time to continue some renovations I started a while back but allowed myself to sideline. Ultimately I do want to sell my house and downsize into something smaller (haha ... like a trailer in Eloy? or Perris or some other southern DZ? ... no I couldn't do that ... I would be an illegal alien if I did that). My short term future is safe. I am not whining about my pending job loss. I am just shaking my head at the corporate world. But what do you do? I am not a leftists or a marxists. However how can we not be thinking about where the future of North America and Europe will take us? Hey I live in Edgemont (Calgary) and it is community dominated by the Chinese. I guess I should work on learning their language. Or just become an anarchist.

That sounds like too much work. Anarchy sounds much easier. Oh even though my job does not end until May of 2010, I do have an interview lined up with an even bigger corporation (one of our large Cable companies). There is no guarantee I will get the gig. I am sure I am up against many other qualified candidates some of whom are not contemplating anarchy. If I do end up impressing them and they offer me a chance to join their evil corporation in a quest to make mega tons of money and destroy the world, then I will put on my corporate slave hat and continue on my merry way as I have all these years.

Historically I have always been a capitalist. I thought I believed in free markets and I know I believe in my personal sovereignty. But something happened yesterday which makes me stand up and shout WTF. Six weeks ago I was informed by my present employer that we would cease work on developing new software to replace the old legacy system because local management decided to change direction and go with a 3rd party external software solution instead of the custom solution we were building. They laid off a whole bunch of IT staff and kept myself and a few others on board until May of 2010 to help migrate the legacy data to this 3rd party provider. Naturally I was disappointed that I would be losing my job in a few months and that all that work I did would be thrown away. But I (sort of) understood why local management did what they did. I am okay with myself losing my job. It is sort of the norm in the IT world. But the parent company did something on Monday that makes me shake my head. The parent company has decided to close the entire operation here in Calgary Alberta and move everything to North Carolina and new people there will be hired to take over what the folks here used to do (using the 3rd party solution). There is not a single person who is being offered a transfer, the entire operation is to be closed. But I am not telling you the entire picture here. The company I work for was a startup company here in Calgary (I was not working for them when they were independent) and the startup was purchased a few years back by the parent North Carolina company. To make matters worse, we the local company are a profitable entity. In fact we are the only entity in the entire suite of companies owned by the parent company who is currently making money. But here some braniac corporate CEO is taking away jobs from many people who helped to build this company and moving these jobs to North Carolina. I am not whining about my job. I work in IT, I can't tell you how many times I have been downsized in IT, it is just something that happens in the IT world. But I can't believe these people in North Carolina are fucking over some long time employees who helped make our local company a profitable entity. I sure as #### am not a commie. But there is something wrong when a small group of corporate dweebs can take jobs away from people who built a successful business entity. So what is an old time capitalist to do? Suck it up? or does anarchy sound like it might be fun? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Austrian? How about married to royalty? (you know the Kennedy clan). BTW ... I know democracy does not really exist in the USA. The USA is a perverse monarchy disguised as a democracy. We know there is no little difference between the two parties and this whole "corporate funding" issue is not as big of a deal as it is made out to be. There is a small group of elitist families who control the USA and they are all related to each other as well as related to their family in Hollywood. as an example: - Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter were 6th cousins - George W Bush and Barack Obama are 10th cousins do you get the picture you do I need to illustrate more. I don't have to work in Hollywood to know what is going on there. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

It's been more than a week and while GWB was a moron, Obama is making Georgie Boy look like a Conservative regarding their respective spending. Have you seen how your deficit has grown between 2008 and 2009? I just can't wait for the 2010 deficit figures. Tomorrow? Please use a language that humans know. I don't mind if you make the occasional spelling or grammatical error (we all make mistakes) but if you want people to understand you, you need to use words that we can recognize. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

You may be correct. But Hollywood has also fucked over the country. Where does Barack get his money? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Lucky if your intentions of that last YouTube video was to imply how DEMs are superiorly intelligent and how GOP are nothing but ignorant fools, two can play at that game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUybMMYmpxo&feature=channel Isn't it amazing how University students who are supposedly these superior intellects "DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE GREAT DEPRESSION". If they would for once stop listening to their professors tell them how great communism would be and actually spend time researching history, then maybe these students would not be so dumb. How much did you pay for your education? ROFLMAO ... How do you like them apples. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

We should just ban people. So if the Feds come knocking at your door, all the anti gun folks should just go quietly. After all they would not want to risk hurting the Fed who has come to take them to their new home. BTW ... I watched something on Ruby Ridge last night and it was a real eye opener. I remember hearing about it on the mainstream media back in 1992 but I never paid much attention to the actual story outside of what the mainstream media fed me. Without a doubt Randy Weaver and his family were not your typical American family. Mr Weaver did things and has views that I do not share. He made the mistake of attending some gatherings with some people who were even more mixed up than him. But he was not the homicidal anarchist skinhead the mainstream media made him out to be. He just wanted to distance himself from the Feds, and did not want to attend the court hearings for the petty crime the Feds tricked him into committing. It was the Feds who tried to blackmail him into being their snitch. It was the Feds who trespassed on his property, it was the Feds who fired the first shots. It is debatable whether or not the 14 year old son Sam Weaver should have fired back, but WTF were the Feds doing shooting little Sam in the back as he ran up the hill (after they initially wounded him), WTF were the US Marshals doing lying to the FBI saying their were under seige WTF was the FBI thinking when they fatally shot Vicky Weaver in the head while she held her infant daughter in her arms. I am not impressed with how the US Marshals and the FBI conducted themselves at Ruby Ridge, but I am even more disgusted with the mainstream media who lied to the world back in 1992. They painted this family as extreme homicidal anarchists when in reality what you has was a backwoods family who wanted to be left alone, but the Feds just would not mind their own business. Do not trust anything that the mainstream media says without doing a little research into the subject. Now back on topic ... I am sure someone will dissect everything text bite that is said above looking for something to criticize. Just remember one thing, free speech is not free. Many people have paid the ultimate price so that we can gather here and tell the world we are right and the other guy is wrong. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Agreed another stupid crime. Sounds like gang bangers ... hardly anything that resembles law abiding citizens. Yes guns made their crime easier to commit, but are we to believe that they would be at home hugging their teddy bears if there was a gun ban?

When faced up against superior fire power, sometimes it is better to fade into the background in order to live to fight another day. Plus most of these countries you mentioned had underground resistance movements which did their parts towards helping the allies defeat the enemy. The various resistance movements did not fight back with hugs and teddy bears. They used firearms and explosives. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Hey it's not everyday that a community organizer mentored by marxists gets to hold the most powerful job in the world. After all he does part the Red Sea every Tuesday and Thursday (though he did have to stop his matinée appearances). Obama is the Hollywood president. Smoke and mirrors baby ... smoke and mirrors.

It did not happen overnight, myself going from being an anti-gun person, to being gun neutral to being open to gun ownership. What can I say I was brainwashed growing up thinking that guns killed. But I say never again. What happened to the Jews in German occupied territories in the 1930s and 1940s is only one example of many in the history of humanity where the strong preyed on the weak. People are fooling themselves if they think it won't happen again. It has happened and it will continue to happen if people let their guard down. Besides threads like this are all talk. Let's say someone in the USA did ban firearms. All that would happen is that a bunch of law abiding citizens who have never committed a crime in their life would become instant criminals. Some might surrender some of their firearms, but most would not. Guns are not going anywhere. Getting rid of them will cause more deaths than the deaths being caused by the criminals who use them in their crimes. Criminals do not register their weapons. There is a reason why criminals are called criminals. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
