nanook 1 #29 November 21, 2004 QuoteI have absolutely no idea how the Republicans sold the majority of the country on the concept that "unions are bad", but they have and the average Joe and Jane blue collar worker has been totally screwed over and their jobs shipped over seas because of it. I think I do. I think the unions accidentally helped sell thmselves as bad [theory]The information age got more. .uhh. . .informative at the same time that the labor unions were negotiating their price. They wanted too much for an idea that was on it's death throes; good wages for labor anyone can do. Knowledge dictated income as the country became less material industry and more a knowledge industry. computers were one of the biggest factors as they were able to replace workers and control robots that replaced even more people. The rest of the world followed and we had no choice but to keep up. Labor became really cheap and the unions were not able to see that in time. No one did. I believe this change that is still going on happened naturally and is still rolling. The only way to prevent this from going even further is to completely shut down the borders and live in a vacuum. that aint going to happen. Now we have out sourcing. the 2000's version of the 80's union demise; except it's happening to another sector of employment.[/theory] I think the unions were called "bad" because people wanted the U.S. to quickly move on with its life and not get left behind._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #30 November 21, 2004 QuoteGiven the choice, I'll take the boring peanut farmer. Nice try at changing what I said to downplay the destructive significance of the Carter Admin to the Left in America.. First off, I said "Incompetent" not boring. Have you forgotten home mortgage rates of 18%-20% or credit card interest rates of 26%? Have you forgotten about all the misery and negativity the Left preached during Carters Admin? And what did Carter do to make things better? He had his little "Fireside Chats" wearing his Cardigan Sweater to tell America that our best days were behind us. He talked of nothing but doom and gloom and said there was really nothing that could be done. He told us America was finished. Carter, without any question was at least among the worst 5 Presidents in American History. Doesn't the Left realize that Carter was the beginning of their current slide from power? That the slide continued up until the time Clinton was elected and that it then accellerated? That under Clinton the Left lost the House and then the Senate and now has all but lost almost any semblance of influence in modern American Politics? And it all started with Carter. Boring Peanut Farmer...right!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get with it people, keep your posts on topic, which is porn. I can't believe you just took the topic of sex and let it degrade into politics.

It wasn't the republicans Paul, it was the unions. Long ago I was in the Nat'l Maritime Union and after becoming an aircraft mechanic, I joined the Int'l assoc. of machinists. Both of those unions were very good at collecting the dues and very bad at ANYTHING else except keeping "deadwood" on the job. I was a democrat from the time I could vote till I realized that they really didn't represent me or any other mainstream, middle of the road citizen. Didn't vote for any republican until 96. I still don't vote straight republican, I vote for whomever I feel is best qualified for the job. As for the PATCO strike, Reagan warned them that it was an illegal strike (and it was) and even gave them 3 days to change their mind, they didn't, they got shitcanned (rightfully so). As for air safety after that, it was NEVER in any danger, altho it was a pain in the ass to try to fly for awhile cause of all the cut backs in flts. Paul, please don't try to rewrite history to make a pointless point, you are much more intelligent than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all, they were fired 48 hours after going on strike. http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/journals/EH/EH37/Pels.html Further to say safety was "never" in danger as a result of the firings is simply not correct.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MC208B 0 #39 November 22, 2004 48 hours, I stand corrected. Thanks for the link to the article, it looks interesting and I will read all of it after work. Paul, was that an ilegal strike or not in your view? Not what you feel was right but was was the law then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #40 November 22, 2004 It -was- illegal, but you also have to understand that when the employer, in this case the U.S. government makes a law that says your union can't use the only weapons at it's disposal, the strike, then they've essentially already busted the union. That law went into effect, I believe, 1971, and after that point working conditions got worse and worse. Of the 97 items brought to the table, the -vast- majority had to do with working conditions and safety issues.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #41 November 22, 2004 Our local gas stations, Turkey Hill, has signs posted in all their windows for white ribbons for cars that are anti porn, saying it should be illegal. My husband and I want to get ribbons that are pro-porn in response. It is stupid, it isn't like porn is smeared on the billboards or on TV or anything.
