A company could NOT do that in the U.K - union or no union, just basic employment law. It is that way in many countries. Even Iran fromwhat i can remember I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

According to him. This is hearsay obviously but two drivers were let go, and the managers are looking for small infractions to fire the most senior people. Things like being 5 min late to work for the first time in 5 years. They will let it go if it is a new guy making starting salary, but the old guy who is making more is let go. I get the whole capitalistic argument. I agree with it for the most part, however I don’t believe a 100% commitment to any economic model is the answer. Should we reward loyalty? Do you see a problem with the ever-expanding distance between a CEO and the workers? I just think the little guy could use more protection then the guy with the golden tiolet. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

That might be you and me as small business owners, however the CEO making 64K a day sorry if I am not too worried about him. I can live the rest of my life happily off of one month of his pay, and so can most other people I know. When does greed become an issue if EVER? Or are we all Gordon Gecko wannabes and think “Greed is good” Is the business world not a better place if the wealth is shared a bit more, and loyalty is rewarded? We all can't be CEOs now can we. Unfortunately in the current economy, it was not my decision or the decision of many other small business owners that is putting them or me out of business. The greed of Wall Street, lack of regulation, and wrong regulation is fucking us all. Again i belive you are getting small business owners and Big company CEOs mixed up. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think your right. The media in the US has been one sided for the most part, and now even the BBC has become tainted. They always talk about people blowing themselves up, however they never go back to see what pain, injustice, and desperation causes a young man or woman to kill themselves. It is much easier for most to just assume there is absolutes a guy in a white hat who is all good and a the bad guy in the black. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I am surprised to hear all the positive replays about FedEx. A friend of mine who is a FedEx driver says the job is hell, and there is no security because they have no unions. You could be working there for years and one day your told to leave simply because they can get someone new at lower pay. He also says they get pushed to work shifts they don’ts want, have little or no say in any thing, and all of this gets done with the constant idea that if you don’t do what they want your out. There is zero security according to him. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Is masturbate one of them? Sorry I am 12 I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I don’t know man that is a horrible world to live in. I mean with that logic if at any time people who are weaker suffer at the hands of people who are stronger (that’s the way it works) you see no problem with that? I don’t know about that, I think that’s how we have let atrocities get committed before. I also hope that we show more compassion and are more evolved then the big cats. I do appreciate your honesty. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I agree she did do that so did he, but in her case is there not even a part of you that thinks running her over was at least cruel? What would you have to see from what source to ever speak out against the IDF? There are always two sides to every story. We each tend to believe the opposite side more often. But what would make you sit back and criticize the IDF? Is there any thing or do you feel they are justified to use all means possible? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Some of the highest paid officers in the country work in Suffolk county NY and the Hamptons. These are also some of the nicest, most expensive, and safest place I have ever lived. When the area has low crime, and then is managed well more people want to live there. The housing prices go up and more taxes are collected. So guess what they have more money and want more cops so there area stays nice. Honestly I hit a deer once and there was 4 cop cars their within 1 min of my call. So how much the cops make really depends on the taxes. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

In my view both of their actions are violent and counter productive. I don’t rejoice when any civilian dies it is all sad. I just find a trained military that disregards international law more disturbing then a small group. For Example. I expect Alqueda to have no honor and show no regards for international standards, but I hold the US army to a much higher standard and if they acted like Alqueda I would be extremely disappointed. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

how brave of you to suggest this

Twisted? As you have stated HAMAS is not a representation of the Palestinians people, but a terrorist group according to you? but the IDF is the Israeli military and representative of the Israelis is it not? So you cant see which one is worst and I am the one who is twisted. OKAY. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

It must be very convenient to always be right despite the facts. So the guy liked trees so he should have died. The IDF is right again. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

A sniper shooting a woman and her child? What is the excuse for that. And as for official policy. If they did not receive an order telling them to shoot and not worry about the consequences then what’s a logical explanation that all these soldiers committed murder and war crimes? Is it an culture issue? I think culture must have something to do with it. How do you have solders kill woman and children like insects? It is either a general secret policy or a culture that thinks there neighbors are sub-human. Either way no excuses should ever be made for such behavior. I find the actions of the IDF, The Israeli government, and the people who blindly support them more disgusting then any suicide bomb Hamas has ever done. To think a sniper sat there saw a face of a Palestinian woman and her child in his scope and pulled the trigger? To have a very well trained army, well armed, a state sponsored military act in such a way then to have people stand there and make bull shits excuses. No words really, none that wouldn’t get me banned. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think your assuming that all people make their decisions, or at least base their view points on facts and information. I wish we lived in that world. As you can see we have people excusing hundreds of murders even a mother and a child. If anyone couldn't understand why the Israelis are hated by the Palestinians i hope they understand now. Fuck all hypocrites. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

As I have stated 100 times before. The people who seem to side with Israel are usually uninformed, or have sacrificed their sense of ethics for their sense of camaraderie. Either way some people have a fucked up moral compass. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Off course yoour right. I guess distorting the facts, denying the facts has not worked now he will attempted at getting me banned. Sad really Sad. I wonder if some people ever grow? If you can never admit your wrong I guess you can feel you’re always right. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Do you know what he is talking about? Oh wait he is admitting that he tries to hide and cover all of IDF sins? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Calling posters Nazis has resulted in account suspensions, here. ?????????? What r u talking about? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072231.html No different than the Nazi's in the Warsaw getto. Shame on Israel this is the ultimate Stockholm syndrome. No it’s not. That was Germans treating Jews Inhumanely thats really bad, this is Jews treating Palestinians inhumanely a huge difference. The saddest part is the people who sit there and try to protect all of IDFs sins would all condemn the nazis (good they should) yet they fail to see that in this scenario they are like the SSs' fan club. How fucked up can a moral compass get. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

There have always been people who use god for an excuse for murder, this is not just a Muslim phenomena In my mind I understand that not every so called terrorist organization is what we think or are told. The Arabs who attacked us on 9-11 I would love to shoot my self. OBL and his crew are insane and have the mentality of convert or die. I don’t like any one who practices such beliefs. (by the way the would kill me as well because I am sheya). However I and I believe many others can see why a Palestinian might feel so much desperation that they would committee an act of vengeance. You can call it terrorizm to me I can understand. When I put my self in their shoes I really can understand I also believe most people would be able to understand. Again I am not saying its productive, or the best way to do things, but if you destroy all I love and have then guess what I am going to retaliate. So HAMAS to me is not the same as Osama not even close. And yes I can differentiate. The truth is not as black as white as we would like. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think the indifference to killing civilians is just as bad a crime, and one that the Israeli military is guilty of at best. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Yes we have a winner I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Ahh wait is that statement even factual? Are you looking at only a certain fraction of time in history? Or maybe we need to spend more time trying to understand what or who is a terrorist? Oh wait we already did that thread and the only thing that made sense was perspective of the person who is passing the judgment. Which means there is no simple standard that applies. There was and it depends on the "terrorist" not all "terrorist" are creaited equal. Why? is there something awful that happens to people who decide to follow Islam? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think he is doing well considering the amount of shit he stepped in when he took office. I might not agree with the bail outs, or much of what’s going on, however I am happy he is doing something and being honest about it. I like the transparency we have. I love the fact that he actually answers questions. I don’t think there is any easy solution to fix the shit were in right now. So I have no clue what will work or what will not, I also think any one who thinks they have a sure way to fix the problems is full of shit. My personal hope is we do punish the fuckers who have effected all of our lives because of their greed. I really hope they get the chair if what they did is not treason I don’t know what is. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain
