  1. no minimum wage here... http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20627595.300-become-a-wage-slave-to-software.html stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  2. i did a few jumps on a thunderbow as part of my 25 'hi-performance' jumps before i could jump a square (also pcs and papillons). i lived so it must have worked
  3. yes, it's been done - not proposing doing it again. something different. nice to get dives that represent each sport

  5. any thoughts on how tricky/what numbers would be needed to represent some of the olympic sports: Javelin Discus Hammer Runner Jumper Etc... we could just spell the words out - but a single formation would be better

  7. Legal american citizens would be more willing to do them if we weren't handing out free money so much. I can recall a time when jobs like construction, truck driving, road building and several other jobs were highly sought after. The pay was good and a man could support his family, and have a few 'extras'. Somewhere along the line, employers latched-on to the idea of hiring illegals, cut the wages and set it up to where a man couldn't 'afford' to do those jobs. Wages went down and the businesses found their profits were higher. I knew men who worked in packing plants, machine shops, lumber yards and other 'labor' jobs. I knew women who cleaned homes and took-in ironing and it helped their family. Why should a man want a job that used to pay good and now only pays minimum wage or less? But... we need illegals! Chuck if the minimum wage had kept its value then wages wouldn't have drifted down. if the minimum wage had been allowed to keep its value then american workers would be prepared to do the shitty jobs
  8. Lead them to slaughterhouses?? No, they work there. It's one of the worst jobs out there. Low pay, horrible working conditions, long hours, hard and nasty work. That's why so many illegals do it. Nobody else wants to. They (mostly) are here, working hard and trying for the dream. They are here illegally because it is nearly impossible to get here legally. i've done a year's work in a slaughterhouse - not nice work

  16. So the legal latino lady lady is a bigot because she doesn't want illegal latinos abusing the system? Your statement is what's known as fucking idiotic and slapping an emoticon at the end doesn't change that. she's still a bigot

  18. Interesting angle http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/30/arizona.hispanics.immigration/?hpt=C1 edited to add this quote from the linked news story "There used to be a level of dignity and self-respect. They were hard-working people who wanted to contribute to American society because it was better than where they came from," says Gaines, a petite woman in her 70s. "But our government has been giving them handouts for so long that now they expect them." she's what is known as a 'bigot'

  20. Just to get all the facts out...Hitler was an illegal alien. He was from Austria and illegally in Germany. Had Weimar Germany had a legal tool like the Arizona law on its books, Hitler's ass would have been deported back to Austria where it belonged following his Beer Hall Putsch, and Hitler would never have come to power in Germany. but hitler wasn't mexican - he was white
