Bankruptcy & yet the CEO & upper management gave themselves huge raises in '10 or '11! The CEO alone went from $750,000/yr to way over 1mill/yr. Just more corporate greed, that's what killing this country, not the little man wanting a decent wage & pension. It's not like they're asking for something TOTALLY unreasonable like what the CEO & upper management have!
Don't worry they'll sell it off to another corp & pocket millions more & the laborers will get screwed out of their jobs & possibly their pensions.
But there will probably still be hostess products on the market.
It is a human emotion most of us would wish to deny. Most of us feel it and quickly let it go, recognizing its toxicity. A few hold on to it and use it to hurt others. In my experience, it is because they have so much pain themselves, they want to have others hurt too. Humans take pain and turn it against others or inward, hurting themselves. It is sad to watch. Few are willing to intervene.[/quot
Yes, well I think part of that could be considered anger.
I mean hatred kinda like prejudice. You know, for no immediate reason.
" My dad always hated the yellow hats & so do I. Although I've never really met one. They're just all a terrible lot!"
You can see it here quite often, especially pre-election. Or somebody will have a nice thread going & bang out of nowhere someone has to pop in with some toxicness to sling at some individual or generalized group.
I just sometimes wonder if this more a dating site or more a toxic dump?
Hatred, doesn't it just bring out the best in people?
It's like some toxic booger that they've just pulled out of themselves & are so self repulsed by it that they just have to find some one to wipe it on!
Or am I over thinking it or maybe I'm just being too sensitive about it?
If you have a bountiful surplus of cane every year, maybe you should look into something fueled by alcohol or even bio-diesel, you wouldn't have to worry about the price of fuel then.
Ah sir, I'll have to beg to differ with you on the pain being the reason behind the bonding.
This was on a NOVA science program. It is titled 'Why We Love Dogs.' They tested oxytocin levels in mom & babe before nursing to get a base level, then while nursing & this is where they found the increase of oxytocin in the mom & babe.
They also tested for base levels of oxytocin in a dog owner & the dog. Then they had the owner love on the dog & during the pet/owner interaction they tested the oxytocin levels in both pet & owner & the levels were raised in both!
I hardly can believe that there was pain involved with the pet/owner interaction that caused the oxytocin level rise. And I doubt that it was different for the humans ie: the loving interaction of nursing was what caused the oxytocin level rises, not any pain from the nursing.
It's not necessarily easy(to muster from one's self) but it is a simple concept that working together can accomplish SO much more good for the whole than bickering & demonizing each other!
Sir in all honesty, would we ever really find out the truth about half of what goes on behind the covert doors of our government? Regardless of which party is in the majority!
Besides, what's that have to do with illegal aliens?
If looked at HONESTLY we have NO moral high ground when it comes to illegal aliens!
If one's not 100% 1st Nations blood then they're illegal aliens to the 1st Nations peoples that have been on these(Americas) continents for well over 10,000 yrs., closer to 20,000.
If anything the Rs screwed up in obstructing things he tried to do in the 1st 4! They should have let him do want he proposed & when/IF it failed at least they could say it was his proposals that didn't work. As it is the Rs can't really make a valid claim to that since they obstructed most things all the way along! And so now who's to say they wouldn't have worked, had they not been obstructed?
I think both showed great sportsmanship & respect for each other in their respective speeches!
Just like John McCain did in 2008.
If anyone that wanted RM to win then they should respect his wishes that the country work together to overcome our current problems & any that may rise in the future.
Stomping feet & dirtying diapers to raise a stink because someone is in a funk that they didn't get their way is certainly no way to move this country or any country, for that matter, forward!!
Intelligence, ignorance, predjudice, hate, love, good or evil know no racial, ethnic, religious or gender boundries.
Look into your own heart & decide what you want this world to be filled with, it's up to each individual!!!!
Hatred!
