You called me a liar [in private message]. And also it's annoying that you would side with the Asshole instead of the victim. You're probably the same type that says, "Well she deserved to be raped, because look how she's dressed." You're the type that blames the victim and labels them a "liar".
>>>What the hell do you do that you are contractually constrained to a lunch-time food limit?!
Engineer. But because the company was giving the lunch for free, they felt they had a right to regulate how much we eat. Due to incorrect identification, my boss thought I was the 300-pound engineer who ate 3 plates at a time. Of course looking at me (140 pounds i.e thin), she immediately realized I wasn't overeating but she didn't want to admit she was wrong.
And besides it wasn't about the truth. It was about axing engineers so she could go back to the CEO and say, "Look. I consolidated the department, axed 20 engineers, and saved us ~2 million dollars." She also said I was late for the previous day's 11 o'clock meeting, except I sitted in my seat at 10:55 so that was yet another clear lie on her part.
It's difficult to do your job as an engineer when you're dealing with dishonest management that produce fake performance reports.
Why do ye find the story so hard to believe? Surely you've encountered assholes in your life..... your coworkers, your managers, retail store clerks. Like back in 1994 when a black woman called me "prejudiced". My crime? I told her that our store charges $5 for gift wrap. She then went on to tell me how if she was white, she wouldn't have to pay anything and I'll probably keep the money for myself. Yet another asshole who I'll probably remember for the next 50 years.
99.9% of people are good, but then there's that 0.1% that create "memorable" experiences you never forget.

>>>has been accused of abuse 3 times in 10 years. No truth to the charges
Thesandtiger (819476) probably thinks you're lying, and believes the teacher is guilty, just like he assumed my story was a lie (and then he got modded +5 insightful). SOME people presume guilt no matter what.
I can also show the Credit Card Dispute where Discover Company sided with me AGAINST the Motel 6 manager, sucked $130 away from him, and refunded it back to my account. Still think I'm lying?
>>>"He was trying to have sex with my employees and was screaming at maids." Your tale doesn't make sense.
Your belief is not required, because I am telling the facts. Would you care to read the response from the State of Virginia? Or maybe the letter of apology I received from Motel 6's central office?
>>>a person who has been trained to resolve those customer disputes
Actually I witnessed the Motel 6 manager treating other customers poorly too. For example about one week earlier an elderly businessman commented that he had not received his 10% discount per the reservation, and the manager replied, "Too bad. I'm charging full price." The businessman looked shocked. The manager had very poor customer skills, and I bet he's not even working there anymore.
As for the boss I suspect you've had your hsare of lousy managers too. You're just lucky you haven't encountered one (yet). .
>>>Revenge is a dish best not served at all.
By that logic, we would have no prisons. Without revenge (or the more PC term: justice) there'd be no arrests of murderers, thieves, et cetera and no need for prisons. There'd also be no need for courts, or lawsuits either. People like you would just allow yourself to be abused.
>>>What is it about you that makes people escalate what seem to be incredibly mundane disputes
I look like I'm easy to push around. People are more likely to do "evil" things to other persons, if they think the victim won't defend him or herself. The Motel 6 guy thought he could kick me out simply because he didn't want to honor the 10% sale price (and he was right). The Boss figured I wouldn't fight an unjustified termination (and she was right too).
A few years ago my boss wanted to get rid of me (two departments merged and she had too many people), but she couldn't do it because of a signed 6-month contract, and only 1 month had passed. So instead she made-up a bunch of lies (you were watching porn) (no I was not), and other nonsense like saying I was eating too much food at lunchtime. She then used these false claims to file for breach of contract and terminated me. I would LOVE to sneak into her office, offload some porn from a USB, and then report it. She deserves to get fired for how she treated me.
Another guy I'd like to get revenge upon is the Motel 6 Manager who kicked me out, because he didn't want to give me the 10% sale price the central Atlanta office had applied to my reservation. He too made-up a bunch of lies about how I was yelling at maids (false) and having sex with one of his clerks (hardly-she was not only fat but also ugly). I'd like to fill his work computer with some porn too.
(1) If white is too glaring, just turn down the brightness on your monitor.
(2) The Black-on-red style reminds me of the 4-color IBM PCs and Apple IIs, circa 1988. Yeah. Nostalgic?!?!?
(3) I cursed the fact I had to downgrade from the beautiful 4000-color Commodore Amiga to a lowly PC or Apple, but that's what the school used, so I was stuck with it. I can't believe those ugly Apples and PCs "won" the computer war. Where did it all go wrong?
>>>Choosing the lesser of two evils sometimes means you're left with a really evil choice.
The third choice is for the CIA to stop trying to project power beyond the US border. They should not be interfering with foreign affairs, anymore than we would want the EU to assassinate a Governor (Schwarzenegger for example) and install somebody the EU likes better.
>>>I think I'm gonna go ahead and pin it on the guy that started it, if it's okay with you.
Bill Clinton when he tried to blow-up Bin Laden's tent with tomahawks, thereby sparking a holy war. Yeah I'm okay with placing the blame on him. He also deserves blame for the Housing Bubble, which was the result of a Clinton policy passed in 1997. (Banks must loan mortgage money, or else be sued for racism.)
>>>The people behind Nixon were the same people behind Reagan, and Bush1, and Bush2. You can look at group pictures and litterally see these same people standing behind the frontman.
That's interesting. Republicans are all the same puppets. Wow. I guess that's why the mods gave you a +1 insightful mod. Ya know, I was just looking at photos of Wilson and FDR, and I swear I saw saw germans/italians in the background - pulling the strings. I guess Democrats are puppets too, eh? +1 insightful for me too.
Trivia
- The majority of the Democrats (like KKK Wizard Robert Byrd) voted against the 1950s and 60s Civil Rights Legislation. They don't teach you that in history books, do they?
>>>It's the military contractors that drive the decisions of the US Government.
Military contractors don't have that much power. If they did, they wouldn't keep getting fined BY the government for various illegal activities (like mischarging of employee time).
Alex Jones has an interesting theory: Wikileaks is actually a false flag project by the government to (1) leak information and then (2) use that to justify why only people with Internet Licenses should be allowed to have websites.
I think AJ is full of shit too, but it's an interesting thought. Sounds like something the 1920s-era National Socialists would invent.
So you started at 11:45 pm last week and finished at 12:45 am this week (hence 0.75 times this week). That's pretty typical for a college Saturday night/early Sunday morning. But usually it's free of charge.
I like your teacher.;-) I learned on TRS-80s... ancient black-and-white computers from the 1970s. My teacher was the business teacher, who really didn't know much except BASIC. Back then (1987) computers were still considered a gimmick and nobody really thought it was necessary to learn them, but they had the class simply so they could tell parents, "We teach the latest technology."
Actually people ARE the problem because people are corrupt and/or corruptible.
Therefore making a non-corrupt government is an impossible goal, and we are all better off giving the government (and the people inside it) as little power as possible to get the job done, so it can't squash us underfoot like bugs.
>>>All of the cases you listed are nothing like the case where you go into a private facility, to board someone else's vehicle [airplane].
Therefore Congress has no authority to control who comes-and-goes from that private vehicle. Only the owner (Boeing, American Airlines, etc) holds that authority.

>>>Mac OS X
False advertising. Ooops. It doesn't work with all of Mac OS 10.x - only the more recent versions.
Sounds good in theory but if we imagine a future without gasoline or diesel, just 1 methane-powered Beetle per 70 homes isn't very practical.

I hate people like you Sandtiger.
You called me a liar.
In my book that's almost as bad as the racist epithet. It is not an overreaction to defend yourself against being insulted.
