Me too. Well said Jetty. Unions and their supporters (especially the French ones who post on TD :) ) are self serving scum with no interest in the longevity of the companies, only with what they can screw out of them and to qualify their existence.Quote:

Sarkozy will set them straight.

Oh, I'm well behind NR's statement. And glad that Marmers agrees, too. I see unions sucking companies dry. The people who had the creativity and incentive to make their companies are being milked by fekin unions. So, Branson and Gates et al are billionaires. They should be. Visionaries, IMO.
A union leader came to one nightclub I waitressed at to get us to join the restaurant union. We told her to FO. Join the union and they demand you take a break every x hours, etc. Fek off; if it's busy, I'm gonna work and make money. Isn't that what work is about? I'm here to work, not to follow some fekin moron union rules. They helped to destroy the US auto industry and did the same to Canada's forestry biz. FO
I would green you but I can't, so I'll send you a pair of soiled Calvin Kleins instead. :)Quote:

Do you think that this same principle doesn't apply to the company??? That it's only a 1 way street?? Do they not USE their employees until they no longer need them and then discard you on a whim? Especially if they could do it before you come up to your pension years...
If your answer is "no" then you can attribute that result to a union in some sense... If it is "yes" than you aren't being sensible or pragmatic in your point of view..
No, it wasent.Quote:

Unions are bulltweet. Most of the workers are a bunch of lazy feks, who just sign on to get benefits and do nothing. I go to work, I fekin work and all of the places I worked know that and compensated me for it. And stilll do. If I know we'll be busy, I'll be there at whatever time and work until it's done. Not punch in and out at certain hours. FO Unions suck.

I want to add some female names to my list, and its quite hard.
But i've alighted on the writers Anne Rice and JK Rowling, who I think are both geniuses in their single-minded way.
JK Rowling was on the social claiming benefits while she was writing Harry Potter, which she made millions from.
If I was on the social & did a million pounds worth of cash-in-hand work they would lock me up.
If she wasn't on the dole, she wouldn't have had the time to write the books.
There's something wrong there, but I don't know the word I'm looking for.
disingenuous
She'd have been a bigger star had she paid it back, a model for the little people.
My boss is very 'progressive'. :)Quote:

let's not forget that he is above all else a specky twat

And 'Through the Looking Glass' encourages drug taking with its references to hallucinogenic mushrooms. 'Black Beauty' encourages cruelty to animals. 'The Witches' (Dahl) promotes cruel practices to ladies who wear gloves & have nostrils reminiscent of seashells and 'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory' is a cruel and violent social commentary, while 'The Great Glass Elevator' contains a biting satire on the American Presidency of the time. And don't get me started on Enid Blyton...:nerner:Quote:

Maybe that's a little too general there is a ton of books I wouldn't want my kids to read and likewise video games aren't all bad either. Just like McD's it's all in moderation and why parents need to be parents and moderate what their kids are doing, reading and watching...Quote:

I allow them an occasional McD's for all of our sakes but not even once a month. I don't allow them to smoke though and the fact that they are only 3 and 4 has nothing to do with that..
I have to say though I have noticed a big difference in their personalities and level of intelligence with limiting their cartoons some of which I think are the worst.. I give them more educational things like animal planet and such...
Wow! I just realized I got a bit off topic there...Ok back on topic..
Better to write books on the dole than smoke drugs? The tax she must have paid since she made it should be more than compensate for the doll money she used?Quote:
