At least 5 of the 20 are biased in assumption. There are few things more useless than filling one hole with the dirt from another, which is what this is doing...

That's very cool. I've passed it around a bit.

Thanks,

Having seen your laughable debating skills at FW, you can add yourself to the list.

Yeah, I picked up on that, I just thought he might have something interesting to say about the reason. Seems pretty anodyne to me.

I actually provide sources and explanations to my arguements. Of course none of those sources are "accurate" and of course in the past 20 years nothing is wrong with how our country has opperated but again every source you can find would disagree with those assumptions. Even MiloMori and Gman posted facts from studies that indicate we are making bad decisions regarding our workforce culture and the outcomes of that. Then again, you cant get half the people over there to actually do research, and you wonder why they have no idea what actual Socialism and Communism really is. Sigh...

Yet, when 1 in 80 households in America have a worker at Walmart, it must be that we have such a "lazy" culture in our country right?
