Sorry, but age is no measure of difficulties faced. I think any kid in rural Ethiopia would beat us both hands down when it comes to hardhisp and suffreing faced, even if he were only ten..not to mention the kid turned soldier at 12, captain by 14 in some god forsaken west african rebel army.

No, the old men don't know any better on everything. Don;t kid yourself.

We're not talking about that kid. We're talking about you, you worm.

[TCO]

And we know that you're the kind of snot-nosed kid who makes comments like "I bet your friends cut hair". Go tell Ming, I screwed with you. you ****ing mama's boy. Frigging civ worm. Go play your game.

this is the best insult I have read this week.

Sh...don't tell Ming. I don't need to spend another 3 weeks on suspension.

Call it keeping the incentive to produce.

Oh right, like anyone making lots of money is just gonna say, "Oh well, **** it. Since I'm benig taxed, I'll just be unemployed and homeless instead. Taxation is an incentive to make more, cuz you need more to keep more.

It's capitalism, baby. What would you know about that.

Quite a bit, as a matter of fact. Just because I think it's cruel doesn't mean I don't understand it. I just have a different set of morals. One that values human beings ahead of money. Which isn't to say I don't like money. It may not buy happiness, but it sure rents a hell of a lotta fun.

One stupid comment gets another.

Is that what we call punishment for success now?

And what kind of jobs did your buds have? The type at which one can afford $50 haircuts?

The government makes and distributes money..and money is worth something only as long as the government is willing to back it: so unless the rich have their own presses and back their money on their own words, it is the govs money at the beginning, and end. Now if the rich whish to give up all their dollars and revert to private bank notes..I am more than willing to take it off their hands.

Sorry, but that's all the above was worth.

Appraently TCO is having a problem with his acount, and he askd me to post this rebuttal to myself.

"No...you have no clue. And yes incentives affect production. and yes increased taxation is a decreased incentive. Now we can quantify it sure. But if you knew anything, you would understand this concept and then move on to a discussion of subtleties. Now get on your bike and ride. The cops are coming... "

But I'm a bastard, so I won't.

The biggest problem with living in Vancouver, are the housing costs. Much higher than anywhere else in this province. I have a cousin who lived in New Westminster in a little bungalow and bought a very nice house in the Interior for the money she got selling the bungalow.

Who wants to live in the interior? Besides, you can get a house much cheaper in one of the 'burbs, like Port Moody or something.

Tell me about it. You might want to take a week or so off on "vacation" from looking for work, to get refreshed, so you won't be thinking about all the rejections.

BK, thanks, but I've been working since March. I just expect my contract to end in mid-January, unless some new project comes up that my manager can charge to another department. I know they didn't get an increase in their budget this year, so that means they probably didn't get the money to buy my contract out or extend my contract through March, 2005.

I do need to get the heck out of Jax, though. I need a more intellectually stimulating town. I'm looking at: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minniapolis-St. Paul, NYC, Washington, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Toronto, etc. Wouldn't mind Austin, but BG vetos any move to Texas. A university town would also suffice. Wouldn't mind moving to Europe either.

Since thanksgiving is tommorow I will be forced to take a break in my job search. I find though that the best way for me to handle the rejection is to get anther interview.
