Should the US Continue Off Shore Drilling Despite The Spill?

"Sir, I may have an attitude, but so do you. I wish we could be friendly, but I don't think you could be friend with someone who doesn't have a college education and who isn't family." Another gross assumption. Fact is, most of my social life is spent with people who do NOT have college educations, and few who have any training beyond high school. Most of my work colleagues are college educated. I spend my time off with two maintenance men, a welder, a glass maker, a mechanic who owns some properties, and a contractor who builds homes and does remodeling (a former boss). You should learn to listen better and talk less. Name calling and jumping to conclusions won't help. But then you probably don't care about that, either, as long as you get to bray.

See no quarter given and no quarter taken, have it your way. Since you don't talk much, there isn't much to hear from you to regurgitate on Have a nice day.

"he was he wouldn't have the job until he went to a trade school and learned it through formal training."

Wrong again.

Got the job first. Went to school to learn the trade.

"But what really get me is the way you wrote you post.  The vocabulary and the misspelled words and you say it normal for you.  Give me a break"

Nope. Not what I said. That spelling was satire, but not too far away from the speech patterns in the neighborhood where I grew up (of course, you won't believe that, because it does not fit your stereotype).

Reread it with an eye to the satire involved.

Maybe you'll see the point I was actually making, instead of the one you're trying to clothe me in.

  I can see your a wordsmith beyond the master rating of expert.

What kind of a response was that? I point out that you made several grossly inaccurate assumptions, and you just give a one-liner and puke.

You see, you really don't want to engage, you want to talk about your vast, or maybe half-vast life experience so you can prove how much smarter you were than everyone else and how you got over on those poor, stupid engineers, and how you accumulated all these toys, etc.

That's OK.

But, if you learned to listen (read between the lines a little) you might discover a few people on this forum who would seriously surprise you with where they've been and what they have accomplished. Congratulations for your accomplishments.

One of my down-time passions is poker. These are the guys who sit at the same table with me on a regular basis.

  What was the question, I sure don't know what you answer meant.

Another poster, "me," made the comment that my grandson would not have been hired had he not gone to a trade school first.

I was responding to her assumption. My grandson got the job first, then went to school to increase his knowledge.

  See the bully coming out of you.  Bully, bully, bully, bluff, bluff.    The answer I gave you made as much sense as of the baloney and bullshit you just gave me.  Why don't you just cut the over blown bullshit.  And Black Jack is my game.  OK.

  He went to work, got a trade so he could make more money and more security.  I know, I know, I know.  I went to work at Ford, then I got an apprenticeship, then I made more money and I have more security.  I did the same damn thing and I am proud just like your son.  OK.

[followsthewolf]

"Bully"?

Nah. Once in a while, though, I get tired of people assuming crap that does not apply. You made several assumptions about me, and I took the time and made the effort to explain exactly where you were wrong. You don't like to be shown where you are wrong, so you jump up and become very offensive; accusing me of bullying and bluffing.

Relax. Have a beer or five and settle down to some quiet contemplation.

It'll soothe your soul.

Lots of members of my family do not have college educations. Doesn't make them any more or less intelligent, just speaks to the choices they made for their lives.

The "overblown bullshit" is the way I speak and write. I've lived and worked in that environment for over 40 years, and it is how I express myself. Not trying to create a vocabulary to impress anyone. Went past that stage of my life long, long ago.

What I'm doing now is what's important to me. The research might help.

  Well join the club, so did I.  Worked with men only until the last few years and they brought in a female pipefitter apprentice, she made a half ass pipefitter.  She didn't climb and she didn't lift anything heavy and see alway ask for help.  Also she had the cleanest nails of the pipefitters.

  Work hard until I got into the rehab crib then all I have to do was make right and excellent.  No spit, bailing wire and Putty.  Or can you get to work until the next shift.  Sound like you know the story.  It to bad your so sensitive too.
