    When I was much younger, I met a girl at a party and went up to her her and said "I betcha a dime I can kiss you without touching you" she said "I'd like to see that" so I swooped her back and gave her the hottest, most passionate kiss I could muster, stepped back and flipped her a dime and said "oops, I lose". She said that was the best one she ever heard. We ended up dating for a few months afterwards.



    Haha that's great. Definitely gonna have to use that one at the next sorority party. Believe it or not corny shit like that will get you laid, possibly a 3 way with those dumb broads

    Make me a sandwich bitch



    Is that directed at Remster, or just your best pick-up line? :ph34r::ph34r: Has it ever worked???!


    Its not going to work this time.

    No one calls me a bitch. On the first date.


    Lol no sorry that wasn't directed at remster, just the best pickup line that works :P

    You're making some rather LARGE assumptions there, sport.



    Sure, not all kids are like that and you may call it what you want. But I did work at a fast food restaurant in highschool and many people quit after about a week, and many people stole from the restaurant. The few people that had degrees that worked there would pay if they added even an extra slice of cheese on something, pal.

    Based on my college time in the low wage workplace, they were certainly better off hiring me. Sure I left at the end of the summer, but by then they had fired or lost everyone else they had. The turnover at these places is astounding. Virtually no one stays at McDonald's (or Fedco or Trak Auto) very long. The good ones move up. The fuckups get fired and move on to their next short term engagements.

    So yeah, I'd go with the person that will be competent for 3 months. You're only spending a couple hours training them.



    Bingo, nailed it...

    And what person applying to mcdonalds says, "Hi my name is jessica and I just got fired from my government job because I snorted cocain at a party?" All she has to do is say I need work immediately and i will take the wage everyone else receives, and you get an employee with good work ethics and experience.



    No.

    Companies are reluctant to hire people that have histories working in higher-paying positions/fields because those people are likely to return to those fields as soon as the opportunity presents. Especially when obligations like a mortgage exist which require the person to earn more.

    Given a choice between a 16 year old kid who has yet to graduate from highschool and can do well on $7.25 an hour because his parents cover his living expenses and some one with experience and a college degree that usually combine to produce a $70,000 salary I'd hire the kid.

    He'll probably be there for two years while the college graduate should be gone in a few months when she gets a job which pays for her skills.



    I kind of understand where you are coming from, but I still strongly disagree with it. You are telling me you would take a highschool kid who is not dependable, doesn't have the mindset of "I have to go to work today or I won't eat", and who could just as easily quit the same day you hire him because he doesn't want to be a fry cook and sweat. Not to mention the fact that somebody who is in highschool is 1000000 times more likely to steal from you than somebody who has made it through college... just sayin...

    Perhaps; you'd have to find a place that doesn't care about previous work experience and doesn't ask about it (McDonald's does.)



    Sure almost everywhere does, but when listing your job and reason for leaving all you have to simply put is personal. If they reject you with a degree and work experience, then that manager might also be on drugs :P

    Agreed. So what's the solution?

    >And you are telling me with a college degree she couldn't even find
    >somewhere to work ie. Mcdonalds even?

    Would you hire someone who had just gotten fired for doing cocaine? Even if she had a bachelor's in Old English Literature?



    There are a number of things you can do. Obviously you can't let people in your country starve, so put them on a probationary period. They will receive welfare for a month. Then after the month is up they have to report in every so often (2 weeks, month whatever) for X number of months/years

    And what person applying to mcdonalds says, "Hi my name is jessica and I just got fired from my government job because I snorted cocain at a party?" All she has to do is say I need work immediately and i will take the wage everyone else receives, and you get an employee with good work ethics and experience.

    >I think it is a great Idea . . .

    OK. Situation:

    24 year old woman college grad working for the government at her first job. She makes a huge mistake, does cocaine at a party one night, and gets popped on a test the next day - and gets fired.

    Let her starve?



    Coming from somebody who is in college right now, there is a time and place for everything. She had 4+ years to explore in college so I don't really feel that sorry for her... I'm not saying its right to make her starve but you gotta look at the big picture. There are far more people doing wrong other than her situation. And you are telling me with a college degree she couldn't even find somewhere to work ie. Mcdonalds even?

    I think it is a great Idea, back when I was using, (clean 16 years now) I'd say 80 percent of the poeple I delt with were on Welfare! Fuckin rediculous!



    Yeah I just don't see it happening until Obama is out of office unless they found a way to do it by individual states. No offense, but Obama isn't going to screw the people that won him the election and will still probably be voting for him again when it comes time for election, regardless of how crappy he is doing.

    you have to drop into at least one club. Call it...research.



    In all honesty, you've seen one club, you've seen em all. Go to Montreal instead: Vegas quality, De Moines prices (I just picked Des Moines out of thin air.. for all I know, they're expensive there lol), and a lot more, mmm. interaction. But heh, if in Vegas, why not! :ph34r:

    And JT: the baton twirler act was too long too IMO. :P


    Yeah the girl i'm goin with wants to go to LAX but its like 60 bucks just for cover... I'm thinkin we'll find the more low key ones haha

    3 days in Vegas is good.

    4 is about all I can take.

    9? Good luck.



    +1..... may the force be with you. I'm going again in May.


    Well I will be turning 21 this summer, so its all new to me. Vegas may get old in a few days for yall, but to somebody that hasn't gotten to *legally* gamble and drink I'm pretty sure it will be worth the 9 days :)



    It's not that at all...... it is sensory overload. I never really sleep there and it all just becomes overwhelming. You will enjoy it though. :P


    Well i've been to a casino in Oklahoma where you only have to be 18, so I know what its like and trust me I didn't sleep much there either.

    Oh and bikerbabe I'm actually a pretty good poker player so please do sit down at the table i'm at ;)

    Seriously?

    When I was at A&M all I could afford to do for a big trip is drive to Big Bend. I slept in my truck and ate MREs for the 5 days I was there!

    I turn 30 this year. My wife and I have very good jobs and I still haven't been to Vegas. You suck!

    :P



    haha yeah thats why you haven't seen me out at the dropzone lately, working my ass off and saving a lot of money. But I should be out soon since I'm back now anyways

    And thanks for the ideas guys, the zipline and land yachting are great, any other things?

    How about Arby's????



    The arby's I worked at for over a year was definitely the cleanest fast food place i've ever seen. Not all arby's are like that, but I will say the beef is legitimately cooked and is a pretty decent quality as far as fast food goes. Even tastes fine if you accidently drop it out of the oven and play the 5 second rule :P

    I took my dad for his first jump at age 69. He was a bit nervous but not bad. The funniest part of his hand cam video is when he told the TI that his ears were plugged. The TI told him to hold his nose and blow. So there is dad on the video holding his nose closed and blowing out his mouth.:D



    :D:D:D

  25. Ever heard the term "buy low sell high"? I know a few older folks who have made a significant amount of money from buying during times like this. With that being said, you obviously have to do your homework... but when the economy gets out of this slump you could be among the few who took advantage of a bad situation. Most people either have no clue about it, or just don't have the money to make the move...
