I find it easy to determine one's maturational level by the anger expressed in their posts. Adolescent minded individuals become emotionally upset when they cannot find agreement. It is that rebellion that we all experience as we grow up. Somewhere between 30 and 50 YOA the light bulb begins to glow and we learn that we have made mistakes in our decisions. At that point most folks begin to establish a solid foundation on which to stand. The exception are the liberals. They seem to drift and change with the shifting sands being blown about by the ever changing winds of public opinion.

And some people just never grow up.

I'm not a liberal. The opinion I was expressing came straight from the Founding Fathers. If you've decided that they were too liberal for you, then you need to find another country, America isn't for you.

I strongly suspect if the founding fathers were alive today they would be considered far too liberal to be welcomed in either the Republican or the Tea Party.

Hell, they'd probably be kicked out of the country. They were all British nationals, after all.

Well, I'm sure they all had their H1B or J visa paperwork in perfect order. And it goes without saying they had their passport and all paperwork to prove legal status on their person at all times.

I just hope they never tried to vote. Or purchase a firearm. Damned foreigners.

Well, one thing the so-called "Patriots" tend to focus on is the "Pledge of Allegiance."
You know, the little mantra that ends with "Liberty and Justice for all" (emphasis mine).

Except it's pretty clear that some of them only want "liberty and justice for those who look like me, think like me, and believe in the same God as I do."

Everyone else is the "enemy" and doesn't deserve and liberty or justice.

And, how shocked they all would be to learn that it is actually a socialist pledge written by Francis Bellamy and that the god reference was added in 1954.

This is a nice summation of organized religion.

It is a managment fact taught in companies all over the world. Companies who's front line managers have this type of relationship with thier direct reports often have the best performing units

Meh, the staff reporting to me or my direct reports consistently have the highest employee engagement scores within our company of 1,500.

Wouldn't surprise me that success like that wouldn't be appreciated in a company you work for

This thread is so far off topic that I backed out of it (on my iPhone) and then clicked on the same topic again - not realising it was the one I was just reading.

I agree re the above. Skydekker, I applaud your patience in trying to interject reason & and intelligence into this "children's table" of sociopolitical discussion. When we see certain avatars on SC, we have a look to see what "dumb shit" they're saying today - entertaining.
