Cats are quirky, independent thinkers. Some people don't like them for this very reason. But I find that quality enormously appealing. I respect each of my seven cats because they are so true to themselves and resistant to outside influences. In my opinion, it would be preferable for politicians, in particular, to behave more like cats, who just do their own thing, and less like dogs, who clamor for affection and acceptance

I know DTBlackgumby dont have any cats or dogs but he could learn something from cats.

I know doggie doesn't have any pets either. Otherwise he might actually learn to value what it is like to help out a fellow human being.

Hmmm... interesting theory. I think I like it.

 

[Trench]

It's NOT democratic white vote--It's total % of white vote for dem candidate. Jeeez Louise.:facepalm:

I understand that. We ALL understand that.

Now just answer the question... What point are you trying to make by posting these statistics?

Is this question really that hard or do you make a habit of posting random statistics?

I was listening to talk radio two week ago and they were detaiing the salarys of people that worked at Carnigie Hall. Granted its a pretty big venue and all that.

They got the information from a required report.

They had a guy that moved staging and chairs
and set ups. The guy made 377 K a year.

They had electricians that were making 288 K a year for electrical work

The director of the place pulled in 700 K

The reason the stage and elec people were making that money was they were in a union.

This is why people say that unions are taking down America. They could never receive that pay working as a stage hand in another large non union environment.

Granted if that was me I would be socking away that cash and thanking my lucky stars. But that dont make this right.

how do you explain this ?

cmon Scotty be realistic. If these numbers are true what percentage of unions in the world make these kind of numbers? I never said all unions are wonderful and just like with everything in life there are bad factions with the good ones. With welfare there are people who should be on it and people who abuse it. Let me show u how a good owner and a good union do business. Recently my brother was asked to give back two dollars an hour. He was furious but i asked him what would be better giving that back or no job at all? This was about a year ago. I told him why not help the owner out before watching the place close up. Well they gave back the two dollars and it saved the guys company and now the company picked up a new contract and my brother instead of working 4 days a week, is now working five with overtime. The owner was very appreciative with this and told them it is just temporary. Everyone won here in my opinion. Now if u have one of these pricks who puts profit above every thing else and is willing to cut ur neck to get it then u need unions. Sure u are gonna get ur lazy prick who u need a forklift to get moving, but in my union if u don't move u get canned. What would u rather have? A bunch of families that are getting a good working wage with benefits and an owner making money or some rotten cock sucker moving his company overseas, paying slave labor to poor people who are oppressed, while this cocksucker is licking his fingers counting his money? And paying shit for taxes not feeling guilty at all. All this talk about how bad unions are is all from rightwing radio cause unions wouldn't give these cocksuckers a penny cause all they do is try to squash them. Every ungreatful prick out there ought to get on their hands and knees because it is unions that got them benefits even if they are not in a union. They actually think they are the ones who worked for that competitive wave. Remember Scotty when the neo-cons yell loudly about something u can bet ur ass it isn't good for the working people of this country.

Could u imagine if 98 percent of the blacks would have voted Republican Trent? You would have thought they were out of their mind. Kinda like being middle class and running thru a building to vote to keep a billionaires right while shitting on urself in the process. Dogs like to make this into a racist thing yet this block of voters voted for their best interest. Meanwhile dinbat dogs consistantly votes to screw himself over and over. :mj07:

yes it was a neo con Neil bortz radio show.

The problem i have with the situation your brother was in is this.

Alot of unions would have bucked up and said fawk you charlie you aint taking away 2 bucks a hour from anyone. As a matter of fact we got a new contract coming up and we are going to ask for a four dollar raise with extra benifits.

In this case the union dont give a chit about the owners predicament and will let the company go belly up before and negotiations.

This is what I have seen with Unions. I must admit I have never worked in a union other than when I was fired from a mgt job I had and one came in.
maybe i can relate that story. its hard to beleive still.

Scotty that isn't true. Who wants four more dollars an hour and no job? Take this shitbag for Nike Phil Knight. Now this shitbag was raking in millions with his sneakers right here in the good ole USA but this just wasn't enuf for this pantload. So he opts to take it overseas to make as much as he could while not giving two dicks on how he was making it. Slave labor like a true greedy fuk while paying Jordan , Lebron, and Tiger as much as they want prolly so he could hang on their tip the rest of his life. I wonder who Dogs sides with in this matter? The greedy fuk who couldn't make enuf over here to run overseas, or this same gereedy fuk who likes to hang on the tip of these blackmen. Must be a tough one for Dogs.
By the way on another note the Carpenters Union has a fund with its members that a little of our check goes to help owners of companies bid jobs. Yes that is right. Our money helping owners bid on jobs so they can compete. Imagine that. What an awful union we are. republicans hate unions cause we only give to a certain few and realize that most are dirtbags who wish the working people in this country could work for piss and be at the mercy of these shitbags. Problem with Unions is that they sometimes get in the way of the guy who can't live on 20 million because he wants 100 million. U will never hear on Fox news about this fund we have but u sure will hear about us supporting a guy they don't like because it is in our best interest, to defeat the shitbag they want to win. The guy who will do everything he could to sign one of those back breaking trade deals that helps no one but a select few.

[DOGS THAT BARK]

You've got 2 explainations above--take them to children in your neighborhood and see if they can help you comprehend or do hide from them too?

Once again Dogs. You keep posting these statistics.
