		<description>How old are you jr?  43?  Have you ever been married?  We know your baby&#039;s momma didn&#039;t marry you.  Were you ever married?

Have ever had a loving lasting relationship with a woman other than your mother?  What exactly is your definition of a &#039;kept man&#039;?

		<description>I&#039;m glad we have these two idiots posting here. I really am.

   We have golfnut with his parents&#039;s money yukking it up about taking advantage of a union worker fighting for better pay and working conditions. He hopes he can get a boat cheap from someone fighting for better pay and treatment.

    AND we have the government and wife supported HLP bashing on those same good working people. 

    So MANY good working people vote Republican. WHY? When such folks as kansasgolfnut and HLP clearly show that the Republican party is made up of such despicable people?</description>

		<description>Probably, HLP.  But maybe the bank will let &#039;em sell it short just to cut the loss.

20 cents on the dollar.  It&#039;s a deal.

		<description>I, for one, am not interested in buying any foreclosed striker real estate.  BUT...

I am still looking for that ski boat.  The longer this strike goes, the cheaper I&#039;ll get my boat.

		<description>Specious speculation anyway goof.

   Repo and eviction takes months. HB will cave long before that timeline.

   Too? Lenders aint getting the best PR just now. Kicking union members out of their houses because they are fighting for better working conditions and pay doesn&#039;t make for good commercials.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s it to you golf?

    Mommy and daddy probably bought your house.

     Given the real estate market? I think most lending institutions will be wanting to carry their striking borrowers until they are back on the job.

    MUCH easier than unloading MORE houses no one wants. A repo generates no reliable revenue stream.</description>

		<description>Week 4 of the strike starts at midnight, so the strikers are now eligible to receive strike benefits of $150/week.

That might buy a week of groceries.

Who are they going to blame when their houses go into foreclosure?</description>

		<description>Uh no James. Unlike you who has made nic switching an art form and even asked that we all embrace the irrelevance of nics?

   And everybody knows it.

    I have just the one nic. I don&#039;t have any idea who KansasNative is or why you posted on a thread this evening that if YOU ever figured out who it was you would slit their throat.</description>

“. I’m pretty sure that a multi-national Stock and Bank company has the funds to out wait strikers.”

OOh you are about 100% wrong there James.

This is an aside, but why ARE you allowed to continue posting here? You make death threats and should be confined for your own safety.
--------------------------------
So you are admitting to being KansasNative.

What do your fellow Lib posters think of you now?

That you would put up disgusting remarks on a woman who has no connection to this blog.

You are a pervert and a loser just as everyone suspected.

Don&#039;t try and weasel out of this one.</description>

&quot;I would imagine that pride is something you are not much acquainted with there boxy.&quot;....
&quot;To whit, the courage of the strikers makes you feel inadequate.&quot;

No BlueJay, you&#039;ve got it wrong again.
The lack of a personal, individual self-respect the union strikers have for themselves, who derive their identities totally from their association with the union, is what I disdain.
I believe in the greatness of the individual, not a union, and will hold to that even if I personally fail.
BlueJay, this is something I think you may be incapable of understanding...I don&#039;t need or want a union to make my way in the world for me...I will damn well do it on my own or fail on my own.  Got it???</description>

		<description>&quot;I wonder if Union members ever thought of using productivity numbers as a means to bargain for benefits and pay.&quot;

   Truly spoken like someone who has been out of the work force for a very long time.

    &quot;Productivity&quot; is what the company drives with a whip....in between contract negotiating years.

    And at that company they have been rolling over job codes, overtime rules, etc. for years.

     Now? While the strike is on?

     &quot;Productivity&quot; would be just about flat line.</description>

    That firm is into making money. No airplanes made = no airplanes sold = no money.

    They will cave and they will cave hard. Their in house management has never dealt with a strike. The union on the other hand has members who DO remember a strike and know how to win one.</description>

<p>   This is an aside, but why ARE you allowed to continue posting here? You make death threats and should be confined for your own safety.</p>
<p>    That firm is into making money. No airplanes made = no airplanes sold = no money.</p>
<p>    They will cave and they will cave hard. Their in house management has never dealt with a strike. The union on the other hand has members who DO remember a strike and know how to win one.</p>

		<description>There  was  a  time  when  entire  cities  would  be  effected  by  a  large  Union  strike...  It  put  a  lot of  pressure on  the  companies  to  settle  strikes  fast...   

Not  so  much  anymore...   The  City  economy  goes on  without  the  strikers....</description>

		<description>&quot;Theirs is simply silly pride that accomplishes nothing.&quot;

    I would imagine that pride is something you are not much acquainted with there boxy.

   Hence your calling it &quot;silly&quot;.

   Now go meet that quota salesboy! Maybe you&#039;ll make employee of the month!

   You and some other posters attacks on a union are only illustrative of projecting your own smallness. To whit, the courage of the strikers makes you feel inadequate.</description>

		<description>I wonder if Union members ever thought of using productivity numbers as a means to bargain for benefits and pay.

To me, I can&#039;t see losing 10 percent of your annual wage going on strike, in order to gain a 1 percent raise in one benefit.

Besides, that company is owned corporately by Goldman-Sachs.  I&#039;m pretty sure that a multi-national Stock and Bank company has the funds to out wait strikers.</description>

		<description>&quot; “It’s day 21 of the HBC Machinists’ strike.
Things have to be getting tight in those households.”
Really? My sister took her kids and my son to Sportsworld the other day. She doesn’t seem to be hurting.&quot;

Or....she is lacking in common sense in conserving monetary resources.  Bad decisions both, the strike and frivolous spending decisions in spending money when none is coming in.
The strikers are losers, they will never recover what they are now losing.  Theirs is simply silly pride that accomplishes nothing.</description>
