Schoolchildren put in database as "racist" and "homophobic"
Trafficdiver replied to JohnRich's topic in Speakers Corner
Full story: http://www.infowars.com/3-year-olds-branded-racist-homophobic-put-in-government-database/ Another: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2037050/Racists-aged-THREE-Children-accused-bigotry-broccoli-head-calling.html Whatever bureaucrat dreamed this idea up is a real broccoli head. I would certainly be in one of those databases. Maybe a few years in a re-education camp would have made me a fitter, happier person...along with a lifetime regiment of meds to help me...manage my hatred,...and if that doesn't work there's always the final step -
Where do you draw the line? Chasing your student into the ground?!?

Gov. Brown vetoes bill to restrict military funeral pickets.
Trafficdiver replied to RonD1120's topic in Speakers Corner
How do you know they are schmucks? They don't choose where they are sent to fight. They signed up to defend a country where you and your "hero" can run your mouths off. -
Great pics. That first one was awesome.

Disagree.

Ohh, I think the plan is bullshit. I also think that the plan will be a failure. I agree that it is a re-election ploy. I also think that if the Republican controlled congress allows it to happen, they are just as culpable. I agree with you. I don't think the congress will pass it though. If somehow they do it would be a few RINO reps jumping the fence and every dems supporting it. Honestly I don't even think a lot of democrats will support this. They want to get reelected too.

I'm a noob in no position to give you skydiving advice so this is not advice, this is my view on it taught to me by my AFF instructor during my FJC. You are the one in charge of getting yourself down safely. No one else. That being said all my coaches were awesome and really helped my sharpen my skills. Blue Skies.

Am I the only one getting excited for the upcoming NFL season?

That answers any questions about Green Bay's offense. Rogers is one hell of a QB. -
Noob Cartoon: Chicken of the Sky (AFF level 2)
Trafficdiver replied to Namowal's topic in Introductions and Greets
These are awesome. It's funny I had the same thoughts as you but no artistic outlet to release the fears. I used alcohol as a substitute and it worked fine, but I wish I had some artistic skills. Keep em coming. BTW my 5 favorite things now are: The sky The wind The noise the wind made Airplanes Jumping out of airplanes -
Ramifications of USPS going out of business
Trafficdiver replied to regulator's topic in Speakers Corner
Because there is a Constitutional mandate to provide postal service. They can't just "go out of business" without an Amendment to the Constitution. Yes, but it doesn't mandate mail service 6 days a week. That can be changed with legislation. I see no reason why Uncle Elmo living in east assfart needs to get mail service on Saturdays. Or Monday or Wednesday for that matter. -

Get the shots in while you can because this is a whole new team and I would hate to be an opposing QB staring at Vince Wilfork and Albert Haynesworth. And the Bucs...good luck with Detroit. -

The Texans are going to smoke the Colts this Sunday and I can't wait to watch it. I've got Schaub and Jones on my FF team and I hate Peyton Manning. Although it doesn't matter who you root for because New England is going undefeated this season. GO PATS! -

This made me curious, so I looked it up; and (at the risk of offending the OP) I think your figures may be high: By salary: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=United_States_Postal_Worker_%28Carrier%29/Salary By vacation weeks: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=United_States_Postal_Worker_%28Carrier%29/Vacation_Weeks Yep. He is on the high end of the scale. The guy I know has been a city deliverer for 22 years, Brighton, Ma which is part of Boston. The numbers you have do not account for overtime, either, which city carriers make, although temps and rural carriers do not. Yes, he works outside in bad weather, Big deal. So do a large number of other trades. In fact most of my friends do and so do I, None of them get over 50K and no one I knows get 5 weeks paid vacation, the killer benefits and the pension. Plus he takes 1.5 hours for lunch a day, and he can't be fired for anything less than murder, as far as I can tell. So ... become a postman. Why moan about something that you have no control over (anyone elses job) - but you do have control over yours - exercise it. I'm, not moaning at all. I'm telling you how much someone makes and why I think it's unsustainable. I don't think you can overpay a group of people for decades and then borrow billions from the federal government to pay off these promises. And I would never, under any circumstances, work for a union. One of the companies I worked for switched over to union, I told them to fuck off and started my own business. -
I jumped on a grenade in a bar once.... She was about 5'4 180 and wouldn't shut up, but her friend was hot and was giving my buddy mad vibe...

I'd be fine with getting mail two days a week. I'd be fine with the mail carrier getting $15.00 an hour, basic medical care and no pension and a weeks paid vacation. The mailmen I know get 70K a year, better health care plan than God, insane pensions, 5 weeks of paid vacation and 12 sick days a year. For dropping a piece of paper in a hole. It's unsustainable. -
I had a crane collapse near me about 20 seconds after I unhooked it from the last truss I was placing. It was a telescoping crane that collapsed in on itself. Sounded like a freight train and scared the shit out of me, not literally, but scared the shit out of the operator, literally. He got out of the crane and wobbled over to the porto-potty as soon as he could compose himself. The ball of the crane punched a perfect 6" hole directly through the bed of the crane itself. I'm glad it happened after it swung away from me because I was tied off to an I-beam, over a stairwell with no stairs in and about 50' drop to the concrete basement floor. Really nowhere to go. Glad I'm not in construction anymore. I've seen too many people fucked up by machines.

Wow! The only PMSing I see here is yours. Just calling it as I see it. Truth hurts but it's better than a lie. And I am a troll and a cock.

You mean she didn't give you an entire booth so you could take your shoes off, relax and lay out flat? That witch. She didn't wait on you? How did you get the poutine? How long did she make you wait? What do you mean snappy? Did she not use her psychic powers to read your mind and see that you were unhappy? Oh the horror! I can see why you are so angry. She should have curtsied as soon as you smiled and referred to you as my lady. How could you see after she stuffed you into a tiny table behind a column in the corner. It's worse than water boarding. Shocking! That bitch should know her place. Next time you should preemptively smack your server in the mouth for even thinking of not treating you like the princess butter cup you are. /Sarcasm Really I don't see anything she did wrong. What I do see is a perceived injustice by a PMS'ing, bitter at the world customer who is trying to find syncopates on DZ.com to sympathize with her and make her feel better about being a total, in your words, twat. Sorry, i don't play that. I'm not an emasculated Australian.

That's strange. Why is the percentage so much higher on DZ.com?

Which is exactly why I don’t tip, those fuckers earn more than i do why the hell should i be subsidising them. Friggin baby factories can give me some of their wealth Good. Stay in Australia. Fuck over the hard working waiters there.
-
Yes, actually that is *exactly* what they did! I was put in a corner next to/behind a pillar and forgotten. I kept fighting to get the waitress' attention. People who arrived after me finished their meal before I even got mine. And that is totally beside the point. I don't care about the waitress' 10 illegitimate kids - should salary be adjusted to fit needs? Mine isn't. I don't care if they work their asses off - should we reward effort and not results? I worked for 3 months as a Recruitment Consultant - I didn't bring in the cash despite working like a maniac. I got sacked. Are the circumstances beyond her control? No. She can do *her* job well, and if she doesn't like her job she can get another one. And if I don't feel like giving a tip, she can suck it up and bitch about it later. After reading this little tidbit into your psyche, I've changed my mind about her bitching you out in front of everyone. It was awesome and you totally deserved it. To your face. I'm glad she didn't wait till you left to do it. Hope she spit in your food as well.

You should expect more from a person serving you the $100 bottle of wine. Have you ever been to a fine restaurant? The level of service is better than a family restaurant or a fast food place. It is therefore worth more. They are paid considerably more to do that job too, that in no way means that they DESERVE a bigger tip than anyone else. So do you tip less for more expensive food? Or do you just not tip at all? If your country forces you to pay a certain amount for service then I suppose I may become bitter too, The funny thing is I bet most servers in the US make more than they do in Australia. In Boston a server will pull in $150 to $250 an night in tips at a mid priced level establishment. At a fine food spot, they can bring in $300-$600 a night.

But for some reason you think we should give a toss about yours? 3rd FAIL Y O U ' R E O U T O F H E R E Who is this we you speak of? Are you the spokesman for this site?
