Should I sell my 1999 10th Anniversary because my Union told me too?

**** clinton, **** bush and **** the poor.

Anyways, on Clinton's surplus, you should thank Gingrich for that. too bad clinton was too busy getting blowies that they couldn't finish the SS and medicare reform plan they were working on as well.

Thats very true on the 90s surplus, I did not consider that.

Meh, all I know is that I will work until the day I drop. I am one of those irresponsible jerks that lives within his means and stays debt-free. Degenerates like me should not be allowed to even think of retirement. Especially since we dont like unions in most cases.

Sorry for the threadjack OP. So whats the deal anyway? Are you going to just say screw you to the foreman or are you getting a DD or what?

Thanks, *******. None of us live in the real world, so it's a good thing you are here to tell us what it's like.

Just pointing out that your idealistic platitudes don't work outside the confines of a college classroom. It is very predictable that a liberal being confronted with logical arguments would start name-calling instead of implementing critical thought.

Oh, I see now. Clearly you know all about me, and the 13 years that I've lived since college (working as a news reporter, in fact!) didn't really happen. They must have been a figment of my imagination.

Logical step for the OP, if the moron who hassled him was serious, is to speak with Mr. Moron's boss, or if that doesn't work, then speak to his own boss and let people at higher levels sort it out. Nobody should feel threatened at the workplace because of something as dumb as what country made their car.

the logical step is a fairness doctrine.

This is the part where I point out that you made a sweeping generalization about the critical thinking skills of liberals.

This thread is already getting off topic but I must comment on this.

Sixshooter: True your initial comment didn't include cursing but your intention was a personal attack all the same.

Why do topics like this always turn into politics threads?
