Draconian vacation policies for US slave workers
Miguel Cruz writes: You make plenty of mistakes, and your version of "looking things up" often amounts to having a recollection of reading something once upon a time.

Well, as for lawyers, when they submit briefings they don't refer to a recollection of something read once upon atime They cite specific cases which are on-point. If they relied on some vague assertion, absent any actual citation to legal authority, either statute or case law, they'd be sure to have their argument rejected. |

Besides, the better practitioners constantly check on things, and update their knowledge and skills. Actually, in order to maintain their right to practice their professions they are required to complete a mimimum number of professional education credits within a specific timeframe. |

When it comes to heat and air conditioning, I do. Did you mean "heating and air conditioning"? You should know a lot. You think that 22 degrees Celsius is life threatening. |

Communism wasn't. so the communist countries eventually collapsed and opted for capitalism. You object to "beat", fine. Was it worth saying anymore than the bollox about "have you heard of ice ages"? By saying that "Capitalism beat Socialism" you imply that if it wasn't for Capitalism then Socialism may have succeeded. Mike was implying precisely nothing of the sort, and you know it. No, his phrasing was quite specific. My very simple point is that Socialism cannot succeed. Ever. Any circumstance. It is a doomed philosophy. Yeah, blah blah blah... You seem to continually ignore that it's working just fine in a large number of very affluent countries. You seem to continually ignore the fact that it is in fact *failing* in all those large, affluent countries. You can almost graph the level of Socialism and the high rate of unemployment and see the parallel. The more Socialism the slower the economy is growing and the higher the unemployment. France. Germany. |

Stan de SD wrote: "The Reid" wrote in message ... Following up to Mxsmanic And yes my lifestyle is completely supportable. People have been saying the US lifestyle isn't supportable for over half a century and we keep improving. Any lifestyle is supportable if the population is not allowed to expand out of control. to support the US lifestyle across the globe population will have to start falling fast. Funny, but a lot of those people have been coming across the globe to the US to work, and be part of that lifestyle. Sounds like it's the thrid world and socialist lifestyles that aren't sustainable. Don't be stepping on his Socialist fantasies like that. :-) For just about all of recorded history there have been people saying that we are just about to run out of resources and we have to cut back on our way of living or perish. That would be true under a Socialist economy. But Capitalism has the dreaded "profit motive" that the Left despises so much. For as far back as you can read these problems have all been solved by people as soon as someone found a way to profit from it. The day may come when we all have little nuclear power plants we wear on our wrists that power our jet cars that we travel from Europe to the US in half an hour with zero pollution. And when that day comes I can promise you there will be a small group of people telling us that we are about to run out of fuel for our wrist power plants and that we can't keep expanding so we must cut the population of man on Earth and Mars and the 3 populated Jovian satellites because the lifestyle isn't "sustainable". |

The US also surpasses all of Europe put together for aggression. You forgetting your European buddies Hitler and Stalin? There have been 5 major "massacres" in the past century plus 2 wars. (I'm defining major as the deaths of at least 10 million people.) So let's see what those 7 we WWI: Started in Europe WWII: Started in Europe (by a Socialist government) The Holocaust: All in Europe (by a Socialist government) (about 10M) Ukraine Famine: In Europe (by a Socialist government) (about 20M) Chinese Purges: In Asia (by a Socialist government) (about 20M) Soviet Purges: In Europe (by a Socialist government) (about 10M) Malaria in Africa: Disease nearly defeated returned with a vengeance. Caused by the banning of DDT (promoted by Left Wing Enviro-nuts) (about 20M) A lot of people have a vested interest in an underclass that speaks no English. Mainly left-of-center politicians... Yeah, you gotta love those peace loving Euro-Lefties. 100-200 million people murdered in the last century. Great folks. |
