    No. Many more than that. On the other hand though not all people are statistically as likely to be killed in a terrorist act.

    If you live in Montana, on a ranch and do not fly internationally and fly very little domestically then I think that your odds of dying in an act of terrorism may be lower than 1 in a billion.

    Maybe you do not understand statistics much?

    You must think that you have a right to have people agree to work for you.

    Nope.

    No one owes you respect either, and if you don't treat your employees like the human beings that they are, then no-one but the desperate and uncaring will want to work for you.

    I never said you should treat your employees like shit. If your boss treats you like shit the correct way to deal with it is to get a different job. Not to see how much you can get paid for doing as little as possible.

    In my case I would try to hire someone with enough self-interest and intelligence to care about their work conditions.

    I treat people under me well and expect much. If they do not like they are free to work for someone else. To do anything else is really to just be a thief.

    I think personally that if you take pride in doing work for people who treat you poorly, then you are lacking true pride.

    Pride in ones work has nothing to do with recognition from others. It is about self.

    I also think that if you are an employer and think that you don't have an obligation to your employees, equal to their obligation to you, then you are worthless.

    Again. Never said to treat employees like shit. Those are your words you are using to attempt to win an argument with. Good try but no.

    A person should also be judged by how they treat others, especially those over whom they have some authority.

    Yes that is how you judge a person in power. People without power should be judged differently of course. What I said though applies equally to the judgment of all people.

    Wish you would have not posted anonymously. Then I would know who not to hire. You must think that the jobs that are given out are your right to have. It is not. No one OWES you anything. No one OWES you respect, or a job, or even a break. Sometimes people get things without working for them. That dose not mean they are owed. In my case I would attempt to hire people driven to do a good job by their own personal pride. Hell. I think personally that if you are doing a job and not taking pride in your work because you don't like your boss or some shit like that then you are worthless.

    A person should be judged by who they are when things are not going well. Judging a person by how they act when all is going their way is stupidity. You are what you are at your worst. Not your best.

    I also have not said I will not run for President. I do not really care what you say. You come from a country that puts Olympic committee wishes above the freedoms of its own people. A country that has no true concept of freedom of speech. Other than that I like Canada. Vancouver is a lovely city. I would NEVER want to live there though.

    As I said though. Once you go to a place where you can start laying blame for what you KNOW to be nothing you are doing nothing short of Lying. If you can not even be honest with yourself there can be no real discussion.

    And Idiot was a perfect description of a person who would make the argument you did.

    Any idiot who thinks that we should think "What would a nut job do if he saw this?" should seriously get the fuck out. Head to Europe. Where free speech evil. I also say screw the fucking Republicans that run and hide so the can look good and get re-elected.

    And .... Screw people like you. The ones that carefully point out that "Well I am not saying so and so is at fault, But they should have known ..." This is the fault of the fucking nut job who pulled the trigger. He is a fucking NUT!

    You do not hear me saying that Obamas treating the Republicans like enemies speech is going to get someone killed. That is because I know as a rational being what he meant. I need to look no further into it.

    One can see your true purpose here. Your last sentence was a political attack against someone who is not currently running for president. It also had nothing to do with our conversation. You NEEDED to get that in there though didn't you. Truly sad.

    If you seriously believe that Sara Palin was slyly communicating that people should kill the representatives of those districts then it is a waste of my time to attempt to communicate thoughtfully with you.

    If you do not believe that then you are just using the injury and death of many to attempt to score political points. In which case I would prefer that I never discuss anything with you ever again.

    Hopefully you are just one of those people who gets "Your Opinions" from talking heads on the right or the left and never gives any real thought to them.

    Sadly I have to hope that your case is the third. Then just maybe you can start developing your own thought out opinions on the things of the world.

    Have a nice day.

    Unless your "things" were Angry Birds you did not look very hard. There were some very good phones out there. Nokia had some great stuff. Was usually ahead of iPhone in performance and the ability to "get things done".

    You can continue to call me names if you wish. But everyone here can see that you are bitching about a phone YOU decided to purchase because it dose not have a feature YOU have decided is important to YOU.

    There is no defense. This is a site filled with people who know this stuff. When the iPhone first came out we all knew by day 2 that everything about it was marketing, App store, and UI design. It did and continues to do nothing that other phones do not do as well or better.

    You excuse therefor is only that. An excuse.

    You seem to have issues. Obviously you would have been better off with a phone with a keyboard. I understand that at the time the iPhone was the only choice you could make that would prove to all around you your supremacy. But if that is the reason you purchased the phone then whining about the lack of a keyboard seems a bit disingenuous at best. The phone is doing exactly what you bought it for and performing exactly as you knew it would at purchase.

    So your problem with the phone other than the fact that it dose exactly as you knew it would is what exactly?

    Why do you own a phone you hate. Some people want or need physical keyboards. Some people do better without. Then there are those people who want or need it one way. Buy a phone that dose not fit their needs then proceeds to inform everyone of what a shitty decision the manufacturer made.

    I hate it when people around me are so stupid that they force me to sound as if I am defending a product I do not even like.
