so whats your point? that its inevitable that someone using drugs will commit a property crime, therefore we should be arresting every drug user as they may commit a real crime one day, it also could be they are committing break-ins and muggings because they are douche bags, do we now arrest all douche bags because they may someday commit a crime, i mean after all they are douche bags.

This is still the case, our local call center where my girlfriend is a quality specialist (yes they have them, they are just not listened too for the most part), they have only one contract for the whole building, and they are paid by buy how many calls they take, so its not just outsourced call center jobs. In my experience in working there for a very short time it is the number one complaint of the people working there, more then pay or schedule's or hours, because most people (probably 75%) genuinely want to help people but they are restrained by 2 minute call handle times, try giving good service to someone in two minutes after they have been on hold for 10-30 minutes only happens about 5% of the time at best, the rest get bullshitted, or transferred to some number then gets them right back where they started. Sure they have intensives for good reviews of the service they gave, but that is to get meager bonuses, (which they wont get anyway if the have a high handle time) their hourly rate and their performance reviews are entirely based on handle time.

I think he means the Obama who gave .7 trillion to banks and 1 trillion to fix the economy. It's fixed right?

just a quick question, if 787 billion = 1 trillion, but tax cuts dont count as spending, and the stimulus was give or take 40% tax cuts, how much was really spent, by your definition of spending?

Thank you sooooo much for your valuable and insightful comment, we are all that much smarting for having read your post.

Halo Elite Cosplay Puts Others To Shame 115

AndrewGOO9 writes "Pete Mander, a special effects artist from Ontario, Canada seems like he might have either had way too much time on his hands or just really enjoys Halo. Either way, this is one of those costumes that makes all of the cosplayers at a con feel like their best efforts just weren't quite up to par."

damn, i pay that for 15/1 cable, even at peak i only fluctuate between 12 and 15Mb, it ridiculous to have to pay that much for that little. the only outage i have ever had was once when my auto pay screwed up cause i got a new debit card and once a few weeks back when we got a shit ton of snow and apparently an avalanche took out a power station and it cut the fiber, i guess there still learning where and where not to lay fiber in the mountains(northwest Montana), even then i wasnt out just very slow.

not sure about oregon but my car is more then 10 years old and in montana when your car is 10 or older youcan by perm tags, its a little less then double your yearly registration (mine would have been about 65 instead i payed about 100) but you only do it once and get a perm sticker for your plate, I never have to worry about going to the crappy place again to register my car.
