Comment Re:Right: No degree == Bad pay (Score 1) 287

good for you. I dont understand why people dont think about things logically. My next move will include a paycut, but the cost of living in NC is so much lower than in NY, that my money in my pocket will get me further down there. truth is I moved about 15 miles further from my job, so it takes me an extra 10 minutes to get to work, I guess we could cut 15 bucks a week out to cover the increased cost of gas. I know this is not as easy for others to do but where there is a will there is a way. I wouldnt take a job in NYC for less than 120 grand these days( I live an hour north of NYC give or take and I do not work in the city)

I would, simply because people learn at different rates and different ways. I dropped out of college after 3 semesters, best decision ive ever made. now it wasnt all flowers and roses but I learned more in the next 4 years actually working and researching things on my own then they were ever going to teach me in school.

Lets look at it like this, If person A can come up with the same results, but put forth half the effort as person B, why shouldnt person A be paid more? (or have to work less hours for the same pay?)

Bottom line: keep your social opinions to a personal level and keep them out of a professional environment. You can make all the legal arguments you want.

Agreed fully. Which is why no one should even know he made the donation to begin with. He didnt try and fire any gay people did he? He didnt say they were no longer hiring gay people did he? if not, then leave the man alone

I think the point was remove those benifits, they are unequal anyway, against single people. Why should married people have benifits that single people cant have? I mean in my head, bringing the single people into the argument is the best way for gay people to get what they want as us single people are being discriminated against equally with the gay community

Comment Re:Straight Privilege (Score 1) 1116

can we stop using the term privilege for everyone we dont like? It one, is not accurate, Me being white and male , and straight have no special privileges over anyone else, In fact id have more privilege if i were a minority or a woman in the eyes of the government in todays world. 100 years ago you may have been correct but we are living in the now. I cant tell you how many grants that are out there that are ONLY for women or ONLY for women of color. but there are no grants available to ONLY white people or ONLY males.. In the eyes of the government, in 2014, white males are treated as second class citizens.

without context sure those things sound reasonable but lets spin it a bit shall we?

If I contribute 1000 to rid the nusence wildlife ruining peoples yards and homes, its ok, If I donate 1000$ to the cause of forcing people to leave so that the panda can claim your home, its not ok

contribute to ensuring everyone gets a vote, and only 1 vote is ok, contributing to ensure people dont have to prove their are american to vote is not ok
