Not ready to play a football game….again!

What’s with this broadcast team. Can they root for the Patriots any harder? Al Michaels even called the field goal good before it hit the crossbar. Come on Amazon….This is HORRIBLE!

McD is crazy! Take a KNEEE!!!!!

Does he even know any of the plays? Or does Josh just tell him to run out to the big tree and keep going.

I’m not sure we’re really at full strength but I like the optimism.

It’s all a balancing act. It’s possible that the Union negotiated a pay increase over sick leave that their members may never use.

Exactly! Very very well said. It’s what separates Christianity from most if not all other faiths.

Wasn’t he from Cincinnati?

Keep trying Chef. I’ve told you numerous times that mine isn’t a religion based position. Can gay people get married? Of course they can! They do now. That doesn’t mean our shared language couldn’t be more definitive. Does it?

On the list of problems facing this country, the abuse of glorified guns by ‘rural white people’ has to be pretty darn close to the very very bottom. I’m not sure it’d even register on a poll! 😂😂😂

While BillSy and I do go back and forth from time to time to time….I can attest that I’ve have actually seen him/her on the football side. Not very often….but I have. GO BILLS!

Not everyone goes to college on limitless funds Tibs. Some of us have to pay for it!!

I got out of taking the SAME COURSE over again in college, and having to pay out of my own pocket for it. Have you never heard of AP credit? It’s been around for years!

Poor rural whites own guns so they can feel powerful? Really? That’s the first I’ve heard that one….but okay.

Didn’t we jail that dude for the infamous Mohammed cartoons?

It’s one of the reasons why my company has such a high employee retention history. We’re proud of it. Take that away and what am I really offering….better free coffee?

No idea….it was a long time ago. But it got me out of a year of college history. 👍

Thanks…I’ll be sure to write a stern letter to the administrators of the AP American History exam to let them know my nationally recognized high score was based on total ‘junk’! May I give them your name?

It’s an interesting discussion point for sure. For many years, benefits were considered something that drew employees to work for certain companies. I know it’s true of my company. (If I’m correct, that’s why we have employer provided health care.) If you take away that competition you’re bound to end up with way more turnover of employees, which is obviously not good for business. While your intentions are noble I prefer the current free market approach.

Reasonable people don’t belittle others because of their faith. Reasonable people don’t accuse other people of thinking that other are ‘dirty’. Something to think about…if you’re open to it.

That figures seems rather high to me. Those are FULL TIME employees? Are they hourly? Or salaried? Now with regards to the portability of sick leave, as an employer I disagree with your position. That sick leave wasn’t accrued/earned while working at my company. But just to show you that I’m not a slave driver, we allow sick leave and vacation to be accrued virtually indefinitely. Unused vacation time you are compensated for upon exit but not sick time.

I‘ve been told it’s one of my greatest assets. 😉 (But it usually comes from my wife.)

I can see how reasonable adults talk to each other. That I can clearly see. It’s amazing how well it works when ‘someone’ isn’t trying to WIN every discussion. Every topic isn’t supposed to be a fight to the death.

Goose….I’m curious, but do you have any statistics on the percentage of full time working Americans who don’t get paid sick leave? I know I’ve never worked a full time job that didn’t offer it. I have to think it’s a very small percentage.

Thanks! There’s no intent on my part to be disrespectful to anyone. I just personally loathe the new hyphenated trend in our shared language. And while it’s immediately exciting for the gay community to be married, I believe over time if it continues to be called “gay-marriage” they are going to look back and think this isn’t the equality they were striving for. We’ll see where the language takes us.
