Who feels companies are promoting people for other reasons than excellent work. Can you give an example? Does your workplace value and promote good work ethic?

I have an oppurtunity to make a lot of cash if I study hard for a year or two and enter my brothers business. With the benefit of his client base, I could make a lot of money after 5 years time. I haven't jumped at the oppurtunity after a month or two and my disinterest is bothering me. I tend to think small as in I'm not money-hungry and I haven't set many goals for myself. Has this conditioned me to not jump at this oppurtunity or should I just look for another route, until I find something I will jump at?

Does anyone believe in signs or angels? My mum had a brother that died a LONG time ago and my little cousin asked my uncle if he ever had a brother that died. She was very specific about it being a brother. Do you think my dead uncle is trying to get in contact with us? My cousin is only 8 and would not have been told anything about my dead uncle. I dont believe in ghosts but it is very strange

Personality Questions and Interpretations--please answer?
Do you ever feel insulted when someone you do not know or ever been introduced to uses your name? Do you ever feel personally tortured when someone asks you intrusive question: what kind of work do you do, where did you go to school...? Do you ever have to pull away from people becuase you feel they are trying to get too emotionally personal too quick: what's wrong, you can call me anytime with your problems...? Do you ever feel personally insulted and hurt when someone tries to classify you a certain way: oh you must be this type of person?

Do you know people who never do any of the above? Would there be something wrong with me if I answer "yes" to all of the above?

A dear friend of mine who passed away just over 18 months, well I deeply missed this person. I use to catch a certain bus to visit my friend and the strangest thing is I keeping seeing this bus. Do you think my friend is trying to reach me?

the minimum wage was never meant to be a living wage.it is for unskilled people just entering the labor force.as one becomes more valuble to an employer or gains more skills his wage will go up either by the currrent employer or a new job.
it is basic economics that any cost in production of a sale or good is reflected by an increase in price of the good or service.
all this does is increase the amount of tax and does nothing else because that person is now paying more for what he buys to live.
and how is the increase determined.if $1.15 is good then why not $3 or $5?
in addition to just the wage the employer has to increase his contribution to soc. sec. and workmans comp. thereby increasing the price even more you pay.
is an increased probability of lay offs causing a greater strain of tax base.it goes on and on.

From 1 to 10, I would rate my self-esteem a 4.
Lets say it's hard for me letting go of someone I love, but hurts my feelings or afraid of getting a new job and shy of public speaking. Would you call that having a low self-esteem? If so, how can I make myself feels better about myself?

Ok here is how it will go if you are pro life and u want to defend your views that is fine. However, it is up to you to defend your views without any religious intent and no quoting to bible. So what i am saying is that u have to defend your view without using any type of religious views. If you are pro choice i want to here from u and the same rules apply to you as well.

personally i am pro choice but i have never met a pro life person that can defend their views without using their religion....so im interested in hearing what u have to say....

If u plan saying that abortion is murder scientifcally tell me that a embyo, fetus is a life,,,,make sure u really know what your talking about and references are much apprecitated

If you have become frustrated, as I have, with the excesses and indignities of the rhymes-with-richy women who claim to speak for all women, and actually only speak for those who agree with them on all issues, let's start talking back when they assume we go along with them. Let's answer with reason when they start their "all men are beasts" routine. Let's give them HECK when they claim that we have to do this or do that "because it's good for women" (or "because it's good for children"), without any analysis or debate. Let's REALLY get uppity and demand that they allow us to stand by our man if that's what we want.

Betty Freidan said feminism implies socialism. She was right: it implies treating people as categories, not as individuals.

If girls find it funny and empowering to knee men, why shouldn't we find it funny to do the same to them, since they want equality? Should we start kneeing them? Mabey twist a boob or two?
