  1. Dont use the HR deptmnt as refference on How To Handle Corporate Blackmail? · · Score: 1

    Just use one of your friends and coworkers instead of the actual HR dept.

    Of course, the HR guy hiring may have the idea to contact them anyhow which is okay, but now he will have two sides of the story.

    Irrelevant...

    What would be relevant is to fucking know that there are 5 terabyte netdrives for about 1500 USD.

    Get a couple of those in sync and you have backups to take home.

    The stupid thing is to not backup.

    Man...

    Granted im not a native english speaker, but I really was attempting to be sarcastic at the AC's post.

    I mean, i thought the parent post was very serene and clear and that the two phrases of the AC were idiotic....

    So i just dont get your point.

    Why is it that the people that complain about california's environmental laws are the same ones that are perfectly happy being frisked, unshooed and carded at an airport?

    This is always a great falacy. Lets recap:

    Let the public be the judge.

  13. Re:What else can you do? on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 1

    You suspend him/her.

    If they refuse to leave, you call their parents and have her talk to them

    If she refuses to even do that, then MAYBE you call the cop to have her restrained for when her parents arive and then perhaps, just perhaps, she will get the spanking she deserves.

    Cause in that we all agree: what a fucking brat!

    I agree. Not this lolly pop shit about not teching kids with discipline is gobbling up all intelligence from mankind.

    No kid wants to work, we FORCE them too study weather they like it or not and, FUCK, i dont see why not!
     

  16. Re:What else can you do? on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 1

    I hear you and I agree. I remember my FATHER telling my THIRD grade teacher, that if I missbehaved, he shouldnt hessitate to discipline me.

    And the guy didnt! (he was an amateur baseball guy: he was an amazing shot with his blackboard eraser) And I graduated all A's and remember that teacher as one of the best i have EVER had.

    However, texting should not be answered by calling the cops. Refusing to give up the phone should not be answered that way. Only refusal to leave the classroom and/or school or utter refusal when the principal came to the classroom should bring you to that.

    I mean, from the summary, they look like they were too much trigger happy.

    You are mandated to shut up, not text or do anything. Lest the cops come in and frisk your ass (and subsecuently finds a not-illegal item).

    Poor kids.

    Its good they have no rights. This way they can find out early that "rights" are not for everyone. Hell, as time passess, it seems they are for noone.
