  1. Oh, there's a whole host of problems with it for sure. What you mentioned is certainly one of them, that I didn't even think of at the time.
  2. You certainly come cheap (or have a warped sense of "pride"). *shrugs* The difference between 8 and 10 is pretty small, but pretty big from 10 to 15. Another thing that grinds my gear: People who advocate a higher minimum wage. Firstly, you're not meant to survive on it. It wasn't designed for that. And secondly, would these same people pay more for something than it's worth, just so the merchant gets to keep more money? It's the same situation they describe, except it's a lot easier to be charitable with someone else's money.
  3. I went to KFC a few months back, roughly an hour and a half before they closed. "Sorry, we're out of chicken. We'll have more in about half an hour." WTF?
  4. That deals with SEARCHING the phone, not asking you to not use it at work (or suffer the consequences).
  5. Just remember, everyone is expendable. I'm sure if they fired you, you'd say "Can you believe they fired me for ________?" And I'd say, if that's the rule, then follow it or pay the consequences. I highly doubt they're keeping your phone for life and that you'd have to buy a replacement. You'd get it back at the end of the shift or on your break. There are far more egregious workplace infractions to get worked up over.
  6. Big Ben suspended 4-6 games. Awesome. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/04/myron-rolle-on-nfl-suspension-for-ben-roethlisberger-its-awesome/1
  7. And yet, if you're in the middle of a transaction or helping a customer, you shouldn't pick up the phone until you get a chance anyway. In my wholesale business, we don't deal with customers face to face. If my employees want to be on the phone while they do their job, good for them.
  8. The whole notion of "giving back" one's earned wealth.
  9. If the phone is not out during your shift, no one is going to take it for you having one. In your case, check it on your break and not at any other time. Problem solved.
  10. Why do you need a cell phone ON THE CLOCK when you should be helping customers?
  11. Though annoying, those are not the race pimps I was referring to. I was referring to those people who only try to create tension/conflicts between races. These are the same kind of people who think everything is racist and are thus diluting the meaning of the word. But the race pimps you mention are highly annoying. Like people who modify their Civics. Dude, that car is made to go get groceries, not race.
  12. Race pimps and politicians who try to start class warfare/create wealth envy.
  13. Most parents should be locked up for child abuse for turning their kids over to the government to be "educated."
  14. Why sad? The fact that they're not smart enough to manage that is nothing for me to be sad over.
  15. And NBC Sports is saying that Taylor "leaning heavily" towards Jets. In other news, (un)surprisingly, the Steelers say they are open to trades on Big Ben.
  16. 2nd this year, up to a second next year. Since he's supposed to be getting a lucrative deal from the Dolphins upon passing the physical, we'll assume they'll be getting that 2nd rounder next year too.
  17. I still think the division is New England's...For as much as people want to say that the Jets were 1 game away from the Super Bowl, they were what, a .500 team? They're closer to that than they are an elite team. And the Dolphins should be OK, but we'll have to see what the schedule is like.
  18. What people fail to realize (or take into consideration) is that the Chargers have Norv Turner... Just like in the NBA, you'll never win a title with Vince Carter as your best player; In the NFL you'll never win a Super Bowl with Norv Turner as your coach.
  19. Why would you say that? He's still productive. I thought the Mets only went after Latin players in their decline for max money.
  20. Didn't the Eagles go to 4 Championship games in the last decade (or was it 5?).
  21. I remember hearing a while back (when the realignment first happened) that the Bills blocked the Dolphins from moving to the AFC South, since they would lose out on that twice a year match up.
  22. I'm assuming his wife? Anyway...way off topic. As for GOAT? Whoever leads my fantasy team to its first championship.
  23. Though typically, (right or wrong) wrestling is seen much like NASCAR (as a Southern thing). Yes, both are national/global, but the perception remains that it's a hillbilly thing. --* in the U.S.
  24. That's why he didn't get caught with a porn star? I guess she wasn't at the time, but I thought he was married regardless. And then there's the gambling scandal. He had his fair share of stupid things. I would like to see Goodell set a punishment on Big Ben if only based on stupidity alone.
  25. Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a 5th. Bargain on the field. Not so sure about off the field.
