Lawlz at flamerz and trolls. Especially animallover666 er whatever. You must be in your 30's or 40's? You should get a social life instead of trolling around on de internetz.. Speaking of which people are getting killed everyday in Iraq for no reason. Oil companies are ruining our environment our health amd killing animals and you just sit here and trolltrolltroll. Do sometjing productive like de peeps in dis video. Youre conditioned.
People should stop bitching and realize how lucky they are to have what they have. Go live in another country and then see what you would have to complain about!
If these public school teacher think that they have it so bad, maybe they should try teaching at the college level. Does anybody know how much an adjunct professor makes? How long it takes to get tenured? A friend of mine has to work at three different colleges just to maintain "full time" work. But yet, we have the best college/university system in the World, right?
@mikemat3307 Some people are never happy. While most the country is out of work, struggling these whiners will continue to do just that WHINERS! Sorry about your situation. Many are not paid for what they do as they should be. Im sure he is continuing to work 3 jobs to survive. Not protest -picket and whine
Whether you agree or not, this is awesome. This is citizenship. Call it "liberal trash" and you miss the point. You cannot call yourself an American and insult the workers of America. Miopic of anyone who would insult or degrade the actions of these or any folks who stand up, which is their duty (not right, but duty).
@marciaSHARMA Its called freedom of opinion. Im very American. I come from a long like of military people, from my grandfather to the son I have who is a marine in Afghanistan for 6 years! Im very American. So I do call myself an American. Just one with different beliefs than you. dont have to agree. Thats what makes you YOU and me ME
@BiggerThinking1 The kind of retardation that allows me to have my opinion and freedom to do just that. This mental retard is a Yale graduate so anytime you think your any match - I would suggest you go buy crayons and a poster board and make a sign and go picket and whine about something else. your always going to meet people who disagree with you and you just did and will again and again. Dont waste your time replying to them all. idiot!
@AnimalLover I'm a PhD from one of Australia's top Universities too. However - though tertiary education counts for something it's not the be all and end all of wisdom- in many instances the curricula are tantamount to brainwashing - not so much in the hard sciences which are basically purely empirical, but in the soft pseudo-science / arts crap they are highly amenable to ideological and political bias- in which case common sense still has it's place outside institutionally implanted doctrine.
@BiggerThinking1 Ok so people are not allowed to have their own beliefs because they ave been brainwashed? Are you kidding me? Hahahaha ok! What ever you say. Try allowign people to feel as they choose. As with religion, speech, and all the rest in between. It has nothing to do with the jarble you write. its my chice and its how I feel. Period. not brainwashed. Not even close. LOL!
@BiggerThinking1 LOL whatever. No dear my lifes perfect. My work, My personal life. everything. Im not a compulsive complainer. Im very greatful for what I have and work for it all. Have a nice life. LOL!
Finally workers are standing up! We need our own party. For those Dems that bounced Wisconsin: Replacement them with community elected Teachers Students Parents. Take it further than Egypt and take power. From a member of the LA March 4th Committee to Defend Public Education and Social Services. The Workers strongest weapon is the Strike!
Yes, they are mainly teachers and what are they teaching their students? If you don;t like how the democratic process works then anarchy and intimidation is the next best thing. Great job. Fire them all!!
@mikemat3307 actually, the standard of living that most of us enjoy in the USA is due in no small part to unions. Even if you don't have a union job your wages would be lower if there weren't unions. Sorry that you have been taken in by the cult of the individual which we most of us dabble in at least here in America, but it's not the whole story.
@HowardFair I have not been "taken in" by anything. I am 44 years old, and I own a construction business. I am a NON-UNION contractor. I take care of the workers that take care of me. Tell me, if you wanted work done on your home, would you hire me, who charges $45/man-hour, or a union contractor, that charges $70/man-hour? You come work for me, and I will give you an honest days pay for an honest days work. No more, no less. If you work hard and show up on time, I'll give you a raise.
@mikemat3307 So you pay 45$/hr. That's $93,600/year, without ovettime. Now add healthcare, sick time, workers comp. protection etc. and your paying WAY over what the Teachers demonstrating in Madison are fighting to maintain. Well I'm sorry I love my country too much to let those who teach our kids, your felllow citizens and neighbors, be crapped on any more! UNION YES!
@707westy What???? I said I CHARGE $45/man/hour. Don't you know the difference? I pay $20-22/hour. Does that mean I'm "stealing" $25 an hour from my clients? You have absolutely no idea what is involved in running a business, do you? If I pay a worker $20, it costs me $22, just in matching payroll taxes. Then, I have to insure that worker, not with health insurance, but with liability and worker's comp, which is about $3,000/year/worker. Then there's all of my overhead costs.
@707westy No, I don't expect you to have a clue as to what is involved in running a business. You are the product of the public school system. The public school system is very good at turning out drones, or wage/slave laborers. Do you even know how to balance a checkbook? You are very good and knowledgeable at spewing out union propaganda, the way my ass spews out diarrhea after a night of drinking cheap beer. You'll make a great slave. You have already been "conditioned".
@HowardFair You are the one who has been "taken in" by union propaganda. Save your money, and start your own damned business, and see what it is like. I love it. And trust me, if I can do it, ANYBODY can do it. The union bosses are just as corrupt as the bankers, and the politicians. They all want to control you. You want to be controlled by them. You are a slave.
@cmp31671 Even though they get there paychecks though robbery (taxation) to indoctrinate children who are forced to go. and no " Derp your a Republican and you want poor people and children to die in the streets, herp a derp" won't work here, pal , FUCK YOUR WELFARE STATE!!!!
@Apptendo Public education is a basic foundations of freedom here in the USA. Look at countries that don't have it. You want to live there? Unless you are a super-rich corporate leader, which I doubt, you benefit greatly from the existence of unions and the welfare state even if you aren't in a union member or used social security etc. Don't be taken in by the right wing lie that it's only recipients that benefit. It's an imperfect system, but it helps keep our society stable and peaceful.
@HowardFair First off your "Public" education is funded by by Taxation which is theft, Individuals are forced to go to school and are not Free to Choose what they want as education or to even have education at all. ya, that's a basic foundation of "freedom" right there. And when Unions in a free market are good, but when they're created by a Coercive Monopoly they tend to get away with more then what would be permitted on a free market , which destroys wealth .
@HowardFair (Part 2) And the welfare state hurts all of us because it creates a incentive for not working which hurts the poor even more, and Steals all of our money that could be used for more productive things like actually creating Jobs in the private sector, and Charities that are MUCH MORE efficient then Government welfare.
@HowardFair "Look at countries that don't have it. You want to live there? "
Well, Sweden, Denmark and The Netherlands all have school voucher programs. Parents get to CHOOSE where their kids go to school. That sounds like freedom to me. More than the government monopoly on education, we have here.
@mikemat3307 Why would you cite Socialist countries with public education all the way through post graduate college degrees as an example of countries with quality education(which they do) as an arguement against public education? Think before you reply. And yes the vouchers are paid for by taxes.. Here's a side note to ponder as well; many states in the USA have vouchers(paid for by taxes) like my state, California. Invest in children and reap the rewards, ignore them and pay the price.
@707westy "...as an arguement against public education?"
My argument against public education is that our government has a MONOPOLY on it. In Sweden, public schools compete right along side of private schools on a level playing field. I thought that we all learned in school that monopolies were bad. And Sweden isn't Socialist. At least, they aren't as Socialist as they were in the 70s and early 80s. Sure, eventually, I would like to see the entire school system run by the free market.
