Well I have insight into this because i was adopted, my parents are my parents to me, because I was 13 months old when they got me, so I dont know anything else, if I was adopted at 12 would I think of them as my parents? no i would have viewed them as legal guardians.
I agree with you, but I also see his point, the older the kids are the harder it is, I have a neighbor who his stepkids see him as dad but thats because when he got with their mom one was 2 and she was 7 months impregnated with the other so he is all they know.
Well to me a serious relationship is one where both parties put the needs of their partner first in all thing, where they spend TIME with each other, and when apart cant wait to see each other. And where both parties are FAITHFUL and could not even think of another.
And how does job loss help OUR economy? we can still trade with other countries I have no problem with that, but dont send actual jobs to those countries.
nope I have worked in union and nonunion shops and I can tell you union workers do more for the economy than nonunion. and management if left to their own they would be running sweatshops.
The below link is what happens when you allow unchacked capitalism with no protection from EVIL management. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_Strik
because it takes money to make money, a poorly run company can exist for years and keep out competition in the mean while. A giant company with deep pockets can afford to loose money by lowering prices until its start up competitors go under then raise their prices back up when the coast is clear.
the mistreatment of the American worker is the very reason for government interference, if left unchecked bosses become tyrants. if all the unions were to die, pay would go down workplaces would become cut throat and what few factories we still have would become sweatshops, and how do I know this? because thats what the workplace was like before unions and government stepping in.
Really? while I agree with you when it comes to law enforcement, most other government agencies are quite officiant. and further more the economy would be much better off if private sector jobs were as stable, say what you want about "cradle to grave" jobs, they keep the crime rates down. It has been proven that when factories close and move to china crime rates in those areas go up, even when less stable and lower paying jobs rush in to fill the void.
I was simply saying that we are not all on an even playing feild, I knew a guy years ago that was barely passing his classes at Akron-U but he was not worried about it because he had a job waiting for him when he got out. he is doing well now even though he is not the best at what he does( merely functional) and this is only because his father owns the company. nepotism runs deep in corporate America.
yep, you are right, " in order to uphold and mantain a capitalist system you must maintain a permanent underclass" which basically means somebody has to dig the ditches. yes the problem with the idea that anybody can make it is the fact that once the market is cornholed...... errrr I mean cornered people in power in that industry tend to burn bridges behind them.
except capitalism in its purest form creates a system of winners and losers(more losers than winners), socialism in its purest form creates a balanced system where all are equal.. If I will be wrong I err on the side of the common man.
On 6 June 1884, Tesla first arrived in the US in New York City with little besides a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor, a former employer. In the letter of recommendation to Thomas Edison, Batchelor wrote, "I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man." Edison hired Tesla to work for his Edison Machine Works. Tesla's work for Edison began with simple electrical engineering and quickly progressed to solving some of the company's most difficult problems. Tesla was even offered the task of completely redesigning the Edison company's direct current generators.
Tesla claims he was offered US$50,000 (~ US$1.1 million in 2007, adjusted for inflation) if he redesigned Edison's inefficient motor and generators, making an improvement in both service and economy.:54-57 Tesla said he worked night and day on the project and gave the Edison Company several profitable new patents in the process. In 1885 when Tesla inquired about the payment for his work, Edison replied, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor," thus breaking his word. Earning a mere US$18 per week, Tesla would have had to work for 53 years to earn the amount he was promised. The offer was equal to the initial capital of the company. Tesla resigned when he was refused a raise to US$25 per week.
Tesla eventually found himself digging ditches for a short period of time – coincidentally for the Edison company. Tesla even used this time to focus on his AC polyphase system, which Edison (believing DC electricity was the future) had never wanted to hear about. Middle years
In 1886, Tesla formed his own company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. The initial financial investors disagreed with Tesla on his plan for an alternating current motor and eventually relieved him of his duties at the company. Tesla worked in New York as a common laborer from 1886 to 1887 to feed himself and raise capital for his next project. In 1887, he constructed the initial brushless alternating current induction motor, which he demonstrated to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (now IEEE) in 1888. In the same year, he developed the principles of his Tesla coil and began working with George Westinghouse at Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company's Pittsburgh labs. Westinghouse listened to his ideas for polyphase systems which would allow transmission of alternating current electricity over long distances.
My point simply was on small and large scales businesses choose inferior products based on cost all the time. Linux is a much more stable operating system but you go into any office you see microshaft crap on all the desktops. capitalism does not always promote the best product simple as that.
it all come down to marketing. such a shame.......
No we CONVERT DC to AC it comes out of the wall as DC thus edison won. and if I am getting a better car for a better price I dont care how nuts the salesmen is.
Actually here in America we use DC the Europeans adopted the AC system so I guess he did win just now is his own country lol.
That proves my argument , simply put he had the better product but he did not win, so its clear the capitalism do not always promote the best technology just the most COST effective.

Ladies.. What kind of motorcycles do you like a guy to have( for you to ride with him)
