Look up yellow journalism. Your idea is to muzzle candidates. Not a bad idea at a glance, but you shift more power to O'Reilly and Olbermann types. Are they newsmen? No, but people don't know the difference. To make your idea work would require censorship of any news network, special...

Very slightly. When a recruiter calls me, I let them know how much I am making and it is a full time position as a company employee with some perks and not a "temp to fire" position. Then, I ask, "Can you do better?" The answer has been no for almost five years.

The shareholder wants the best return on investment right now. If the pension fund has to be raided to earn a better percentage, so be it. Once the company has been destroyed, the shareholder will be two or three companies down the road.

As somebody with a job for the last 4 years and 11 months and who only uses job boards to post for positions outside of my employer, I'm curious why a resume would need to be an attachment. Is the wheel button on the mouse disabled? Is it guaranteed the word processor programs between the...

If there is more residential space than commercial space in the United States, it would as much if not more sense to offer a complete write-off to individuals. If the gubmint would give me 1/3 the cost of solar panel and the other incentive, I'd take a loan out on Monday and I would whore...

I believe he was being FECEStious and trying to make a link to video games.

I'm sure I'm not the only person willing to buy solar panels at a huge discount out of 300 million Americans. If I lived in CA or CO, I would probably have a solar panel roof. Those are the states where the incentives are the best. If one percent of the population went for solar panels, you...

You keep posting and I won't be able to stop this guy.

If I buy 2,000 square feet of solar panels, they work exactly the same as the 2,000 square feet of solar panels a business would be and get a write-off for. It creates the same demand/market and etc. I don't see why a business gets the special treatment for the same action an individual can take.

The mainstream media is doing what they're told to do: generate a distraction.

I'll try a point for point critique. The first problem is who gets what. Does the state get 5% or 10%? Does the state and fed share funds? The second problem is every state is different and requires a different level of taxation for the services they provide (roads, welfare, education...

You actually don't have the freedom to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

I say we move the decimal point one place to the left. Make dimes the new pennies, Kennedys the new nickels, GW the new dimes, Abey the new half dollar and Hamilton the new dollar. Of course, we'll need a new $1000 bill as long as Obama or Dubya isn't on it.

While you fine people were arguing, I did something more productive. I leveled up in Mafia Wars.

Can you think of something better to do with your free time?

I have to agree with MrNewz here. If you can get a MBA without going into debt, go in that direction. Education is sold by conning people into thinking a ton of debt and a few years of paperwork will turn into a perfect job. That works out about 1% or 2% of the time. If you're the top...

If you can work less and take more classes without going into debt, do it. If you have to take out loans, work more and take fewer classes. There are a lot of people out there who thought a good job and career would be waiting for them after school and simply found a loan collector. By not...

Al-Queda is a database of mujahideen recruited, trained, equipped, stationed and eventually pissed off by the CIA. What is the appropriate amount of money to spend on disgruntled employees?

I think I'll buy a bunch of cans of Chicken Noodle soup the next time they're on sale and 100 pounds of rice. I have no confidence in either party at this time. I am considering whether or not to create a thread entitled "I lament dick riding for Obama."

The lack of a single payer system was probably the biggest concession.
