I have no problem instigating and I have no problem playing games.. Yeah I admit its pretty foul what I do , but why carry any remorse? Hell...the only reason I do it is because what you just witnessed is how every one of the shitstorms have started.

( I make an innocent post - someone turns it into a diss - someone follows through with an insult - enter shitstorm )

So if every post that I make , is going to be followed by someone being snide , then really I have no reason to carry on amicably. If people leave it alone , then I carry on with my normal biz on here. If someone wants to say something unnecessary and out of line/context , then you damn right Im gonna pull out the 16 year old card....

....much like everyone else has.

two wrongs don't make a right.
i know i used to bitch a lot about you but, i don't know if you noticed, lately i don't.
two wrongs don't make a right. if they start to pull out the petty bullshit then either ignore them or try to peacefull diffuse the situation.

lead by example!

why not be the bigger person and stop first?

You're really never going to come out 'better', although you fight the dirty fight trying to.

ps i put you on ignore for a LONG time.
is the saying "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" appropriate? well you know what i mean.

Don't be ridiculous. Most people who start off at a job making minimum wage do not stay at that wage for six years. If they do, they're retarded. Give me one example of a minimum wage job where an employee would not receive a raise in six years.

I'd also like to know who actually makes minimum wage except for new hires at McD's. Heck, my part-time staff with NO work experience start higher than minimum wage!

Here's the deal - if you've been working at the same job for 6 years and you haven't gotten a raise, you suck at your job. Otherwise, your employer is doing something illegal. By law everyone is entitled to a review for a raise once per year (unless you are in a union and your contract states otherwise). If your employer does not give you a raise, they have to prove that your performance did not warrant one, and they also have to provide you with additional training and corrective action to correct your "areas of opportunity". If they don't do these things, you can take it up with the labor board.

I don't agree with raising minimum wage. I started working when I was 15 and I sure as hell don't make anything close to minimum wage. The opportunities to learn, expand your knowledge, and move up in terms of wage are all over the place - in my experience people just want to get paid more without doing more. Raising minimum wage will do nothing but raise the cost of living and cost of goods - how else are companies going to make up for all the extra wages?

Unfortunately - Ive tried the "be the bigger person and don't fight back" approach and it went absolutely nowhere...so...*shrug*..whats left? lol

i tried to be nice to you at first and that didn't work....
it appears as though you are going through the same thing, although we both know you provoked it.
so what's left?
do what i did.
put them all on your ignore list.

some days the ignore list is my favorite part of fnk!

[wishbone]

fra what do you do?

like really, what do you do?

Interesting thought...

American min wage is $6, they pay lower taxes and dont receive free health care.
Canadian min wage is $8, we pay more taxes and receive free health care.

Although raising the min wage to $10 would not only mean more income tax to Canada, but more tax based on the increase of goods and services.

In the end, Canada has more money for things like health care AND paying off the debt WHICH would equal a better economy. Is this hypothesis realistic? SEAN!???

It wouldn't equate to more taxes collected by the government because most of the people working these jobs are exempt from income taxes due to annual income restrictions. Also, the higher tax brackets are the ones that make up a majority of the government's revenue through income taxes.

It's fitting that a reference to a prominent comedian would be responded to by something completely without wit.

edit: I shouldn't have to do this..

Dennis Miller: Here with an editorial on taxes and crime is SNL news correspondent, Chris Rock.

Chris Rock: Thank you, Dennis. Before I started comedy, I used to work at McDonald's making minimum wage. You know what that means when someone pays you minimum wage? You know what your boss was trying to say? It's like, "Hey if I could pay you less, I would, but it's against the law." Now minimum wage used to come up to about $200 a week and then they'd take out $50 in taxes. That's alot of money if you're only making $200 a week. That's kinda like kicking Monday and Tuesday in the ass. I hate taxes, I hate checks. I hate the fact that they put two amounts of money on your check. It's like: This is the money you worked all week for, and this is what you're gonna get. Don't tease me! Don't take off your bra and say: "Whatcha lookin' at?" I think taxes are the reason there's so much crime.

You're only exempt from taxes if you make less than approx $8000 per year - $8/hr x 40/hrs week x 52 weeks = 16640 per year, so you'd be paying taxes. Assuming that you work full-time.

A majority of the people making minimum wage are not working full work weeks. That's where you misinterpreted what I was saying.

the best part of this, was that you could totally see it was a joke and a quote but he didnt get it.

Yeah. The majority of people making minimum wage work p/t flipping burgers or folding clothes - how much are those jobs really worth? IMO $10/hour to perform tasks that barely require any training (or brain power) is a little excessive. If you want more money, get a better job!
