  1. Well the whole point of the major is that the knowledge you must have to do the job correctly is that difficult. You want only the smartest of the smartest. And as for doctors, they do a solid amount of psychology work. My brother was going for pediatirics, and ended up with a minor in psych. The problem is that business jobs don't pay that well. Besides the hours being !@#$%^&*ty, you can make more money doing retail management, of which you need nothing more than a hs education, than you can with low to mid end business jobs. Its just everyone is dying for that 8-5 job...
  2. I do believe that you are right on that point.
  3. Thats my whole point. People don't want to work for the jobs. Do you know that starting off a nuclear engineer makes more money than a doctor, with less schooling? People need to want to do better. But with society today, if you want to be lazy, thats deemed just fine. At least around here, noone got less respect for trying to get into a tech field before college. Most people looked at that as better than trying to be an accountant. If you get your CCIE cisco certification, for which only 4400 people in america have, you start in the 200-250k a year range. And you get to write your own hours. What more incentive do people need for this stuff? With high end tech jobs you can make great money without having to go through 8-12 years of school, or internships, or residencies. And your hours are normally great.
  4. As for the tech field, I work for the tech field. I get paid quite well for my position, better than the other 3 guys who have 2 years seniority and are more quallified than I am. But you see I know how to negotiate. Not only am I getting better pay than them, I also convinced the company to pay the benefits for me and my fiance. Out of the 3 men in my position, they all out age me by 6+ years. I think that people just don't know how to negotiate, and don't realize just what they're worth to a company. It also helps that companies of course start offering lower wages, and with the job market in such a scarcity (spell check) that people are willing to take a job making less pay than they deserve because there might not be another one out there. A big problem in the tech field is that everyone is getting educated in the low end tech jobs, but you don't see that many nuclear engineers coming into the workforce nowadays. I'm going back to finish a degree part time at Syracuse University in Physics Engineering, where you take a specific field of physics and get your masters in engineering with it. Out of the 10's of thousands of students SU has, there are only 24 people in that program, they estimate 3 of us will actually graduate from it. People nowadays want those easy jobs, like accountant or low end tech jobs. I think for the most part people are content living life like that. Money isn't really the issue for continuing education, because for most of the tech companies I have investigated, they will pay most of, if not all of the cost for you to get more certification or education. But most of the employees are happy making 40k-60k a year and don't bother trying to go back. Right now there is an abundance of high speciallized jobs, but all of the jobs that most of us are going for nowadays, or right from college are already taken. It used to be a big deal to have a college degree, now its basically like you can get one out of a cracker jack box. I think that we can't just blame the economy, we have to shoulder some of the blame ourselves. The two biggest majors at least when I entered college were business and psychology. Notice those are also some of the most useless majors you can have. If people would strive for the specialization jobs, that would free the low end jobs, and start to balance the economy. I think that would be the most effective, and only way to fix our job economy problem. Bringing in more low end jobs will just give us the same problem as soon as the class of 07" graduates.
  5. I know many many republicans, I am one, and none of them are christian. I don't believe that republicans as a whole consider themselves the christian party, as stated, maybe certain politicians do. I feel that is a terrible stereotype. Same as saying that if you're republican you are conservative, and if you're democrat you're libral. Case in point: I am a non-religious, moderate Republican. And as stated, all politicians contradict themselves. If you go through the compaign records for every politician, you will find hypocracy.

  8. I think he's moreso referring to the fact that the over liberal democrats give off this aura that its not right that there are classes in this country. And that no one should be rich, and no one should be poor. Or at least that is the only thing I could come close to correlating with it.
  9. I agree with telson.
  10. I don't have any pics of my b!@#$%^&* or amp...
  11. Colts and bears won't make it to the big show. Colts don't have a strong enough team. They've won 4 games this season my a margin of 3 or less to teams of the likes of buffalo, the jets, the jags and denver. And 2 of those were come back wins. As usual manning won't be able to bring them to the big show. As for chicago...they won't do it either. The fact that they almost lost to arizona, and had some magic to pull that out, and not only did they lose to miami, they gave up 31 points to miami. And their offence could only post 10 points against the jets? Not going to happen. As for baltimore, they're playing very well this season. Their defense is top 3 in the league, and with the play of McNair, they have a good chance at it. With the chargers, what impresses me is not tomlinson, but Rivers. Rivers is doing just what the chargers need out of a qb, he's making good decision, and not turning the ball over. If rivers keeps it up, and tomlinson stays healthy, they're the scariest team in the AFC. As for the NFC I agree that dallas is the strongest team there. Romo is 4-1 as a starter, and has a qb rating of something like 103 in those 5 starts (this is excluding his relieving bledsoe in the middle of the giants game) with the way they're playing, they definately have a chance to make the show. Every other team in the NFC is too inconsistent. For NO, when your QB throws for 1604 yards in 4 games, and 9 TD's and you lose 3 out of 4 of those games...yeah...of course he also managed to do 7 ints in those 4 games which won't help. The giants looked good until going into chicago. With the loss of toomer, and not having strahan or Umenyiora, and losing madison for some games, they just don't have it left in them. They have too many injuries, and Eli is pulling a Manning, and had a good first half of the season, with a terrible second half. Too tired to go into Seattle in depth, but even when they had h!@#$%^&*elback, they are too inconsistent. Maybe with Alexander back they'll get that fire going, but I just don't see the fireworks they need coming out of that team this season.
  12. Take say...the old minister of healths wife for example. Back in the early 90's he suggested that saddam step down momentarily to halp discussions with Iran. The next day his wife found a bundle in their house. That bundle was her husband cut into dozens of pieces. Hanging is a much more humane way for him to die, than he let others ever do. The point of torture would be revenge for those people. !@#$%^&* we don't even have to do it. Just get a bunch of those people together and give them saddam and just have us walk away. And the point of a life sentance in jail is to be sure that they can never commit the crime again. The point of the death penatly is that the crime they commited was so heinous, that they no longer deserve to live. I guess this use a mute point to discuss anyway, because our country is too..."refined"...to do such a thing...I mean !@#$%^&* a third (exaggeration) of our country doesn't even think its right to kill animals for food anymore. Cabbage anyone? Saddam was not involved in 9/11. In fact he was not involved with al queda, but did have ties to many other terrorist organizations through the years.
  13. Will he be tortured? No. Does he deserve to be? Yes. Considering the amount of pain and torture he's caused in human beings I would have no problem with him being tortured. He will be made a martyr regardless. I have no personal hate towards the man, but there are hundreds of thousands who do. Or hey, maybe just let him die using one of the chemical weapons he was so handy using. Maybe that would be better justice.
  14. Well being this is the spam forum, it is better he posts this topic here than in the general forum. At least he knows where to post it. And as for him being gayer than aids...wtf did aids become gay?
  15. nuts

  19. I personally don't see the kind of commitment needed from the community right now. I tried pulling the 17th into it every time, and the problem was that with all the planning it would take, players, not even staff, would always seem to lose interest. I voted with the majority, I don't think the community is strong enough to sustain it.
  20. actually its prepubescent
  21. Revenge usually makes people feel better. And as I have no reason to torture him, think of the millions of people who lost friends and family to them. I bet they sure as !@#$%^&* would want him to feel their pain. If someone torured and killed my fiance, you bet your !@#$%^&* I'd want to make their death as painful as possible. It doesn't bring them back, but making him feel even an ounce of suffering that those people felt, that would be more justice than revenge.
  22. haha touche
  23. I frequent the political forums, and have moderated the 17th forums since the start of their forums here, til I quit about a year ago. I'd be up for the job.
  24. But the problem is that you have all of the old players who are tired of balling. And they will not come back for pub. Note that even if you get a good pub going, a few old players might come in, check it out for a bit and leave. If you want to focus on pub, you will need to forget the past and move on with a new zone. Because the "league" players, all started off as pubbers. Then they got bored and moved on to leagues. If they got bored with pub 4 years ago, they'll be just as bored now. If your main focus is to be on pub, which I'm not saying is right or wrong, you will have to look for new players, and know that the oldies, for the most part, won't be coming back.
  25. I agree that he should have gone long ago. But I also don't dissagree with him being kept in a little after things went south. He was doing what he believed was right. I guess if things start going bad, give the guy a chance to correct it. If that doesn't happen, boot him on ze bum.
