yes its true. the year was 2005

everyone i know has negotiated a salary, vacation etc upon being hired. alot of times the company you might be leaving offers you more to stay. like i said, leverage is a good thing. dont be scared, just ask next time and surprise yourself.

and yes i went from working 40/hr wk to 60+ after union voted in, for the same pay. we had free insurance provided by the company. we also had a pension that the co. payed. they stopped pension and payed us all depending on how long we worked there. i didnt mind cause i wasnt stayin to retirement anyway. it was a nice check.

what the heck is so hard to understand ? my experience may be different from yours. it doesnt make me a liar.

Still obsessing about the election like Dan the man? Probably because you are Dan the man.

I don't believe in Muhammad and Islam, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in Hinduism. And because I don 't believe in the mentioned does not give me the right to use their name to curse. Got it? To do so, is disrespectful and classless.

As far as the lazy comment, I suggest you read ALL the posts. To come into the middle of a conversation isn't a good idea.

We were talking about DTM'S "occupation". DTM has had many, many, different jobs in the past year. When in reality he has NO job, he's too lazy to work. Are you following now?

If you are still confused, too bad.

I've been reading what's been posted for a very long time. I'm not entering in the middle. This entire spat is reminiscent of a bitter lover's quarrel. Most of this thread is, for that matter. It's people who don't even know each other lashing out and insulting ideological opponents when they lack even a clue as to who they are outside of a pseudonym. I can log onto Xbox Live, hop into a Halo or Call of Duty game, and hear kids exchange 'your mom' insults about as refined as what's happening in this 2000+ page pissing contest.

Also feel inclined to mention that I don't agree with your first statement. I regularly deride characters I don't believe in or agree with, fictional or otherwise. What elevates Jesus, Muhammed or the Buddha above involvement in parody or foul language? Because certain demographics are irrationally offended by their being besmirched? It's not classless. I don't respect entities that I find cornerstone elements in obscene literature and culture that mock intelligence.

What makes the attacks being slung around this thread, yours included, acceptable, while saying 'Jesus' negatively, is classless and intolerable? Has that line of effrontery finally been crossed in your mind?

Your just like Dan The Man, or perhaps you are Dan The Man, you are such a weak man. Your wife, if you have one , must be so disappointed.

I came to topix to have constructive debate and discussion but instead I get childish attacks from small insecure men. Pay attention to my post you may learn something.

I've wasted enough time with you, I'm going back to pleasuring myself with my personal massager.

I ask for rightwing opinions on current political issues every day, but nobody from the right responds on the issues. Just name-calling and personal attacks.

Given your astonishing ignorance and how profoundly WRONG you were about the election, I can see why you're a little gun-shy on discussing politics. So I understand why you avoid it - tired of being humiliated, I sure.

So why are you here? Is being a petty name-caller all you are capable of? Speculating about my professional life and fantasizing about my personal life? Seriously - grow the hell up.

Krugman accurately diagnoses the problem with the GOP...

----------

We are not having a debt crisis….

No, what we’re having is a political crisis, born of the fact that one of our two great political parties has reached the end of a 30-year road. The modern Republican Party’s grand, radical agenda lies in ruins — but the party doesn’t know how to deal with that failure, and it retains enough power to do immense damage as it strikes out in frustration…

Since the 1970s, the Republican Party has fallen increasingly under the influence of radical ideologues, whose goal is nothing less than the elimination of the welfare state — that is, the whole legacy of the New Deal and the Great Society. From the beginning, however, these ideologues have had a big problem: The programs they want to kill are very popular. Americans may nod their heads when you attack big government in the abstract, but they strongly support Social Security, Medicare, and even Medicaid. So what’s a radical to do?...

[L]ook at where we are now in terms of the welfare state: far from killing it, Republicans now have to watch as Mr. Obama implements the biggest expansion of social insurance since the creation of Medicare.

So Republicans have suffered more than an election defeat, they’ve seen the collapse of a decades-long project. And with their grandiose goals now out of reach, they literally have no idea what they want — hence their inability to make specific demands….

----------

The GOP is utterly dysfunctional. If the rightwing losers here don't convince you, all you have to do is look at the pathetic bunch leading the party.

[Dan the Man]

Here’s Grover Norquist predicting that President Obama will be so upset by Republican restraints on spending that he will murder people for shits and giggles:

NORQUIST: We got lots of things Obama claims to be for, and we will make — we, the Republicans in the House and Senate — will make him actually make those spending restraints, in order to get the continuing resolution out [for] a week, two weeks, a month. Obama will be on a very short leash, fiscally speaking, over the next four years. He’s not gonna have any fun at all. He may decide to go blow up small countries he can’t pronounce because it won’t be any fun to be here, because he won’t be able to spend the kind of cash he was hoping to.

----------

In all seriousness - is there a sane, rational conservative left in this country?

Obama wants to know were you are at any given second. More big brother awaits you. Whats next, a chip under your skin? Liberals will say its a good thing until a republican tracks you.

Obama Bypasses Congress to Mandate Black Boxes for All Cars -- Beginning in '14

Bypassing Congress, the Obama administration has issued a proposed administrative rule, which if adopted, would mandate the installation of "black boxes" in all automobiles and light trucks beginning in 2014.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed the regulation on Dec. 7, which it said “would capture valuable safety-related data in the seconds before and during a motor vehicle crash.”

The proposed standard would require automakers to install event data recorders (EDRs)– so-called “black box devices”-- to collect specific safety related data in all light passenger vehicles beginning Sept. 1, 2014.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said approximately 96 percent of model year 2013 passenger cars and light-duty vehicles are already equipped with black-box capability.

“By understanding how drivers respond in a crash and whether key safety systems operate properly, NHTSA and automakers can make our vehicles and our roadways even safer,” LaHood said in a news release.“This proposal will give us the critical insight and information we need to save more lives.”

EDRs do not collect any personal identifying information or record conversations and do not run continuously, according to LaHood.

After a crash or air bag deploys, the EDR would collects data in the seconds before and during a crash, including: vehicle speed; whether the brake was activated in the moments before a crash; crash forces at the moment of impact; information about the state of the engine throttle; air bag deployment timing and air bag readiness prior to the crash and whether the vehicle occupant’s seat belt was buckled.

But Horace Cooper of the National Center for Public Policy Analysis called the move “an unprecedented breach of privacy for Americans.”

“Not only will this new requirement give new resources and data to the DOT to support more economically-damaging regulations in the future, this mandate itself represents an unprecedented breach of privacy for Americans,” he said.

Cooper said that contrary to what is being claimed, EDRs “can and will track the comings and goings of car owners and even their passengers.”

Black boxes, he said, are already being used to track myriad activities -- and what they can record is virtually unlimited, he said.

“EDRs not only provide details necessary for accident investigation, they can also track travel records, passenger usage, cell phone use and other private data -- who you visit, what you weigh, how often you call your mother and more is captured by these devices,” he said.

House Republicans, citing privacy concerns, had succeeded in removing a Senate provision requiring EDRs from the final transportation bill earlier this year.

But GOP members were not alone in their concerns about the proposal. Rep. Mike Capuano (D-Mass.) tried unsuccessfully to introduce a measure that would allow car owners to disconnect or disable EDRs.

"Consumers should have control over the information collected by event data recorders in vehicles that they own and they should have the option of disabling the device if they choose to do so. This is a basic issue of privacy," Rep. Capuano said at the time, in a statement.

The public now has 60 days to comment on the proposed rule, which will be published in the Federal Register.

Don't be so stupid. Just read what you posted and ask yourself why no one wants to debate or even talk civil to you. You are the problem. You keep adding fuel to your burning fire. You keep hanging out your bait, when you get a bite then you post your typical BS as you did in this post.

Anyone who uses CNS "news" as a source has proven they are not interested in a factual debate.

When you cite propaganda websites as your source, you prove you are not a serious person.

BTW - regulating the auto industry is the JOB of the Executive Branch. They aren't "bypassing Congress." They're fulfilling the role the US Constitution assigns to them.

Danny, why would I ever get embarrassed by you or anyone on here? Do you really think you destroy me? What in the hell is wrong with you?

Who said I don't want to debate you? If you think because I don't reply to some of your posts for reasons you listed, think again.

Do some research, it's on other sites too.

Tracking every car is fulfilling the role the US Constitution? Do you really believe the reason that state they are tracking? Do you see how it's set up for abuse?

What rule is assigned to them so they can track you, danny? LOL

Regulating? The government regulates too much.
