This could all be solved if Mexico & Canada would simply be annexed as new states, of course we'd have to go get rid of all the french canadians as nobody likes the french but who would really notice?
And we have soo many Mexicans in this country already whats a few more? It'd be a lot cheaper to build our border fence at Panama then it is across the whole border with Mexico.
If Mexico wanted to be a united states of it's own we'd call it "United Beaner States of America"
I don't mind all the mexicans in this country as at least they work, I'm not about to go back to doing my own lawn.
having been recently and currently dealing with the e-file system with the IRS I can tell you that most of your gripes about not being able to e-file are far less the hell then it is to actually interface with the IRS. I wrote a commercial software application to do this interfacing and went through all the required documentation / forms etc... it's not simple or quick, there is no "API" to interface with the IRS, it's old school flat files and Z-modem.
I'm going to have to side with the IRS that an open source application is not suited to this environment as there's no accountability on checking of it's data and allowing any random person's code to transmit to the IRS could cause hell into the system.
Open source is great for non-government.
I firmly reject the idea of letting code out into the wild that anyone can modify be allowed to transmit to the IRS.
It's the school day being far too short, why in the hell are we sending kids home at 3pm??? It would make a lot more sense to have them kept on for a full working day to get through the years of education faster and out into the real world. This would give them time to actually finish the school work at school where they can be properly supervised.
Other issues: * uniforms are definately needed, wtf is with having kids with no sense of structure at all to school, do you really think a kid takes school seriously while dressed like a little g-thug?? * discipline, why do we have teachers getting stabbed / shot in places? Kids need to be taught respect for authority and this is coming from a trouble maker growing up!
You have to get kids to be able to focus on the material for them to learn and you need an environment thats safe for both student and teacher. If you reduce things down to everyone in uniforms and easy color coding of problematic / special students for easier identification you can make the problem a whole lot simpler. If this sounds a lot like prison to you, well then you're probably right and thats a good thing as a lot of these kids are going to end up there anyways if they can't curb half the f'd up shit that goes on these days.
Moderators please mod his post as "trollbait" and "flaming homosexual" for mentioning the use of a manbag, I'm sorry but if ur enough of a f'in dork to carry a bag as a guy especially anything resembling a purse u need to be dragged into the street and beaten. Only acceptable forms of a bag for a man to ever carry: briefcase, laptopcase with laptop for work in it, backpack
anything else just means ur a homo who won't come out of the closet, do us all a favor and choke on ur manbag
I think you hit some really good points but completely missed the correct mindset to have for the general populace.
I'm the director of operations for our company and definately would not hire you with that attitude.
IT is NOT about University Degrees, sorry but 9 out of 10 people that go to college for this industry are the ones who don't belong here. Naturals are the best in this industry plain and simple, the kid who goes home every day and spends 6 hours a night learning on his own are the ones with the true talent that companies need to survive. A college kid can draw me a pretty diagram of a solution and slap a lot of fancy names to it but a natural will have already finished the project and gone back to playing quake and would just assume not be bothered.
Some people actually enjoy programming, yeah I know a shock, guess what there's people that work in factories that are happy too. Not everyone needs to be shooting for the managers job, hell that would be a bad move for most people out there. Management is good for people who are good managers. Good IT person is not necessarily a good IT Manager.
Thats great that you work for a fortune 1000, that is if you like that kind of job. I've worked in everything from small to fortune 500 companies, and frankly the best experiences we're to be had in the smaller organizations. Only 1 place in my life did I ever have a problem getting hired due to lack of a degree, Cintas wanted to hire me out of a contracting gig I was there on but couldn't because someone in HR demanded a college degree to do the job I'd been doing already for over 6 months. Funny how the kid without the degree is good enough to pay consulting hourly rates for but you won't hire on for less money as an employee, yeah thats bright thinking...
Things are no way near as cut and dry as you make them sound, everyone gets ahead in life in their own way, and each of us has a different idea of sucess. You're idea of sucess is to play corporate games to get to the top, many people in IT are just happy to work with the technology and enjoy programming, others just like the fact they can get away with more being in IT. I could care less how late a sysadmin is to work as long as everything is working, a good sysadmin shouldn't have to show up very often.
i definately have to agree that it is retarded how our laws our written especially when free speech is taken into account
So the government tells you that you have freedom of speech and freedom of press, so lets use your example and test these "rights" they supposedly can't take a way: * Can you take pictures of your hypothetical 16 yr old gf in a state where it is legal by age of consent and post them freely in a publication? No, that as previously stated would be distributing child pornography, but what happened to freedom of the speech / press?
This doesn't make much sense, our legal system really does need a cleaning of house (and i don't mean by some bitch running the sweeper in the house of representatives). Our laws started very simple with basic rights and moved into retardedness from there.
If a child is defined as under 18 then how do you convict a child of an adult crime with adult punishments? By doing so you're violating the first law that they're a minor.
If I'm gauranteed freedom of the press why can't I publish a paper called "Fuck niggers and ya know what hitler was right about dem jews", legally I cannot publish such "obscenities".
Why is it in a free country I can't freely choose who I sell my own house to? I can't decline selling it to a black person but a 55+ retirement community can refuse to sell to me based on age. How is age descrimination against the young legal but not against the old? How is descrimination of 1 kind legal and yet another is not?
As much as I love the ideals our country claims, I think we've truly forgotten what the creators of this country had envisioned, we've become worse then what our fore fathers hoped to escape in england. We need a new slogan "America home of the Hypocracy"
Nothing like the feel of a nice cold piece of steel at your sidearm to defend yourself though.
I'm sorry laws don't replace 7 in the clip and 1 in the chamber of my.45 on my side.
I believe there should be stricter training in how to properly handle / use a firearm to purchase one, but every citizen should have the right and should own a firearm. I have a conceal and carry weapons permit for my states and believe very strongly in being able to protect myself and my family.
The best way to deter violent crime is with a stronger reaction, blacks want to riot violently, after the first warning if the police shot and killed 100 at a time till they became peaceful or ran out of people then the problem would be solved one way or the other. And every dead rioter should have all property confiscated by the state to be sold and provided as a bonus to the police officers for fighting against such violent acts. I lived throught riots in my city, drove through police lines, and got to watch the real bullsh*t response our government does any more. We need to protect ourselves and our assests as no one else is going to do it for you.
You said "but if he was saying "all black people deserve to die and should be killed" is it not reasonable to think think that someone might see it and think that it was a good idea?"
My question to you is... who are you to say it's not a good idea or is a good idea?
Question #2: why should the thought not be allowed to be put out there for people to think and interperet their own way.
And on the whole getting offended by someone threatening your life online, my response: grow up and if anyone has those thoughts for me well then feel free to come explore my right to bear arms and defend myself.
Finally, no society does not need to step in to stop ideas or ideals, but if we do decide to do that, I have a short list of ideals I'd like quietly suppressed: Affirmative Action Censorship The Patriot Act Islam Anti-Slavery Anti-Segregation Kwanza... do u see now why trying to stop ideals is f'in retarded?
I'm sorry but if your self worth is sooo f'in low that some comments by a troll on an internet message board that you've never met can affect you, then frankly you're pathetic and need to either grow up or go eliminate yourself for everyone's good.
The world does not need to care about the feelings of people like that. The mods should merely have deleted his posted, banned his IP address, and been done with it like a reasonable person. Instead a stupid internet thread explodes into someone going to jail, the family should go to jail for violating his freedoms of speech. I hope to god he counter sues the hell out of these people for all the real damage they did to his life. That family needs to go to jail for their crimes against his freedoms and the damage they did to his life.
How about protecting the public from censorship and violating our basic rights to free speech.
Just because someone says something in and internet message board is no reason to put them behind bars for 3 years. You want to protect one worthless groups "rights" by violating those of another, how hypocritical.
Everyone should have the right to say exactly how they feel whenever they want without fear or persecution or prosecution without exception.
If you can't handle racism then go kill yourself and be done with it as you won't have to worry about it and we won't have to listen to your whining. The world needs to move back away from this nanny state and get back to true freedoms.
The threat of force, and the knowledge that that force can be applied is what keeps this country's checks and balances working.
Does a police officer have to shoot you to get you to comply normally? No, but the threat that he can or the threat that he can incarcerate you gets you to comply.
The government should always be kept aware that the citizens of this country when pressed hard enough will stand for their rights.
Yes I am a gun owner, yes I have a conceal & carry weapons permit whether I need it or not, so as to be counted as one who will exercise my rights. I don't believe in gun control other then requiring better training / certification for the proper use of said firearms. Gun safety is a good thing, gun control is not.
Frankly the politician who proposed this law deserves to be drug onto the white house lawn, beaten, and buried next to the politician who proposed the patriot act.
Indeed is stuffed with dupes in your data that link to the same crappy jobs as everyone else.
I know you can put together a jobs site in 20 minutes scraping and getting data feeds from the big boys but try going direct to the company sites like http://www.getthejob.com/
I do much the same, but I do try to help my ppl out with learning new things.
One of my guys used to be a developer and wants to get back into it, I badly need a developer.
I told him to start learning the basics of the tech, and come to me when he thought he had a reasonable understanding of the basics and I'd let him know the concepts he needed to go research and learn to do the job.
Once he did that, I'm spending some time per day near the end of his day training back into how we do development to eventually give him that lateral move.
It's all a give and take thing, if he wasn't willing to learn the basics on his own time then I wasn't willing to give him my time and would just hire outside the team.
He doesn't sound very talented if it took 2 years to get a job.
I'm sorry but there's a crap job somewhere that would have hired him, thats just laziness.
Why do people fall for sappy nonsense, "i'm really trying to find a job... since 2004"
The friggin bums find jobs faster, if my ass was sitting at home with no job you best believe the house would be spotless and dinner would be ready if you're providing the roof over the head and food for me to cook.

This could all be solved if Mexico & Canada would simply be annexed as new states, of course we'd have to go get rid of all the french canadians as nobody likes the french but who would really notice?

if thats true then why is it not legal for me to say fuck damn shit cunt whore nigger on the radio?

Just curious

Solution here is simple... fire the people in India and go back to being a real American company with American workers.
They'll eventually fire more Americans the longer you help them support the bastards in India.
