Will do. If I like this one then I'll check out Tragic Legacy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Oct 16, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) To place the blame of GM and Chrysler's demise solely on good worker conditions is a massive oversimplification and, quite frankly, a ridiculous notion. Maybe if GM and Chrysler focused on making cars people wanted on a more consistent basis, they wouldn't be the massive s***show that they have become. Actually that wasn't the point at all if you look at it in context. The context was that Americans don't support American labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking your point was that American expectations of compensation, benefits, labor standards etc. aren't compatible with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone here agreed that this sort of hypocrisy is common to both parties and not worth our time, we could eliminate 25% of the posts. It keeps cycling over and over again based on who is in office. Frankly, I'm bored by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Quote of the day from Obama yesterday at a DNC fundraiser: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_...grab-a-mop.html What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy is busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess --- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. (Applause.) You're not mopping fast enough. (Laughter.) That's a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.) Grab a mop -- let's get to work.

DukeNukeEm Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) ^ no kidding. I'm pretty sure you've all heard about the judge in LA who's stuck in the 1930's? See how crazy some people are in this country: http://www.conservativeunderground.com/for...ead.php?t=20544 I really don't care one way or the other, I don't have a problem with it. As a matter of fact, my wife's sister just married a black man that she has been with for 5 or 6 years and has 2 children with. Two beautiful little girls that are so white you wouldn't even know they are mixed. A particularly good one.
