Unions Mar 23, 2005
I have another gripe:  unions.  It was a good idea in the beginning.  Protect workers' rights and stuff like that, but I think it's changed a bit.  Just look at the news.  Union bus drivers in NYC went on strike for some reason, so hundreds of thousands of people that work in the area were without transportation all because some stupid people were unhappy with their working conditions.  Or look at the NHL:  the multimillionaire players couldn't agree on a salary cap, so the entire season was canceled.  Or how about the ultra-fascist teachers union.  In order to work at a school, you must be part of the union.  But union rights don't apply to everyone in the union.  Teachers have the whole summer off.  Secretaries and administrators do not.  However, if there's a contract dispute or anything like that, everyone is involved, not just the affected parties.  There was also a union at Schering-Plough.  It was so stupid that I couldn't unscrew something in the plant because I'd be violating the unionworkers' contract.  I mean, this is ridiculous.  It's obviously gone too far.  To solve the problem, I'd like to start a company of a bunch of normal people who are willing to work for a living, and have them apply for a bunch of jobs as soon as stupid union people go on strike.  Like the bus driver example, I'd restaff the whole crew of people that were on strike and hire a bunch of hardworking people.  That's really what it comes down to.  Many people in unions just don't want to work some long ours and stuff like that.  Welcome to the real world, idiots.  While you hide under the protection of your stupid little union, everyone else on earth works for a living, sometimes working long hours and making less than they should.  That's how life works.  So if anyone wants to join my anti-union, let me know. #business
Completely wrong (1) Mar 23, 2005
After I look at the viewgraphs on my computer, I'll Xerox® you a copy and use my Rollerblades® to bring it to you. On the way, I have to stop at the ATM machine and enter my PIN number. I hope I don't pass any nucular power plants because I'll have to clean out my ears with Q-Tips® and patch up my wounds with a Band-Aid®. I also need to check my Palm Pilot® to see if this will all fit in my schedule. On the way, I'll listen to my Walkman® and wipe my nose with a Kleenex®. This will be the best thing for you and I.

How many stupid mistakes can you find? #language
Christianity or science Mar 23, 2005
I was thinking this morning (amazing, isn't it?), and I came upon a thought that I've had before: sometimes believing in science instead of Christianity takes more faith than Christianity. For example, are we to believe what science tells us: that complex, living, eating, breathing human beings evolved from nothing? Just take a look at us; think about how everything just works without even doing anything about it. Right now, my heart is pumping blood to every part of my body, carrying oxygen so that the muscles in my lungs can expand and contract. There are tiny little electrical impulses moving all around my brain, on the magnitude of 100-200 pulses per second. And this is just breathing and thinking. What about all the other millions of things we do on a continual basis?  You think this came from nothing? From one-celled organisms that developed out of nothing into something? That takes a lot of faith to believe. For me, I'll continue to believe that I was created by a supreme being, God. It just makes more sense. #religion
