Title: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Walk on November 07, 2005, 04:17:01 PM I once had a job in a lab where everything was expensive. Even small tubes of reagents could cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. One day, I incorrectly used a $5000 machine and it stopped working. :o It would take a ton of work to repay that damage, but luckily a simple repair fixed it! I was told, however, that I was a good employee, and that it was a simple mistake I had made. I wouldn't have been fired at all, in fact, I wouldn't have had to repay all $5000.
The worker I replaced didn't do any damage. In fact, he didn't do anything. He was very lazy and he took no risks. He was fired for missing work one too many times. This was appropriate retribution. There's a lesson here. Bureaucrats who make mistakes 90% of the time usually go unnoticed because their mistakes are small, but they add up. Risk takers who get it right 90% of the time are the ones who usually get the axe when that 10% looks expensive all at once. But over time, it's the bureaucrats who cost the most... After the hurricane Katrina disaster, people want bureaucrats to be "held accountable" (fired in politespeak) for the disaster, but the problem is the system, not the lampreys who are just along for the ride on the shark, so to speak. Instead of trying to fix the unfixable, it would be better if the whole bureaucracy was permanently removed and leave the rescue to free market entrepreneurs. They might make spectacular mistakes 10% of the time, but they would usually do better than incompetent government workers. Take risks and don't let those 10% setbacks hold back your 90% contribution. Don't fear retribution, just get the job done no matter what.

I think thats what Hitler said to Himmler one day when they were talking about Jews, but i'm sure ur Aryan Nation board would know for sure.

Let's not get there. If you really have to make this kind of comment, please send him a PM. Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on November 07, 2005, 05:09:14 PM walk had a job ?????
Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Walk on November 07, 2005, 05:23:57 PM Yep, I worked as a lab tech. I'm still considering a biology major, but it's a lot of work that's very much unappreciated. I have my college to do now, though, so I'm unemployed at the time.
I also enjoy economics and English (but for fun, not career). I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life, heh. Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Sterlingdog on November 07, 2005, 07:28:48 PM I think you'd be a great social worker, reaching out to the inner city folks.
Just Kidding. ;) Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on November 08, 2005, 01:59:34 PM Yep, I worked as a lab tech.

Record for the liberal who resorts to the race card the fastest.? Are you OJ Simpson? Aren't you the guy that posted pics of Bush in front of the Nazi flag? Give it a break and get a clue. How come the moderators haven't thrown you out yet? In case you haven't realized, there is an effort here to clean things up. Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Tj on November 08, 2005, 08:06:27 PM Wow, no wonder I hardly post here anymore. I used to love this place.
Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: SLCPUNK on November 08, 2005, 08:36:38 PM Give it a break and get a clue. I'm not sure you get it. People here are tired of your "crew", tired of the racist links etc. The mods banned somebody from you little group, and you have already been banned once for using racists terms on here before. Maybe it is best if you take your own advice above. Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Guns N RockMusic on November 09, 2005, 01:05:42 AM ? Give it a break and get a clue.

Maybe it is best if you take your own advice above. Once again SLC is here to decree his words of wisdom (read utter nonsense). When were you nominated to be the spokesman of the "people" on this board. Deny it all you like, but you scream race like it's going out of style. Your own friend has called you out on your bullshit here. This isn't tinfoil hat where you post a video of how Bush was behind 9/11 and everyone cheers. Alot of members must realize how divisive and inflamatory your post have become. Infact I believe one of our moderators stated something of that nature just a few, short weeks ago. The only racists on this board are you and your cronies who believe that anyone who isn't white needs your protection and guidance to have a meaningful and productive life. You've proven me right time and time again. Whenever SLC can't find some website to think for him for his replies, he just screams racism and several cohorts follow. Have racists remarks been made on this board, absolutely. Do we need you labeling everyone who doesn't read infowars.com a bigot in your attempt to stir up shit? No we don't. If the mods really want to clean up this board, they need to look for the poster who originates most of the comments that get us off topic and his name isn't Walk, Charity Case, Popmetal, Holy Way or Guns N RockMusic or any other member with known conservative beliefs (I intentionally left out Berkley Riot because he's the only one who hasn't been labeled a racist yet). Title: Re: Appropriate Retribution Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on November 09, 2005, 02:58:07 AM PLEASE STOP FIGHTING !!!!!
or at least meet somewhere in real life and have a fist fights. but THIS is useless. i'm sure you're both in PJ's.

Maybe it is best if you take your own advice above. Its hard for "my crew" to keep up the conversations when (1) they keep getting banned (puts us at a disadvantage don't you think), and (2) when ever a point is made by one of us you liberals all cry "racist". I can't get over how sensitive you boys are. I'd say there is a systematic removal of conservative thought going on in this forum as we speak. As for my banning, I lost actual friends in 9/11....if you think calling Arabs "towelheads" in the emotionally heated months following 9/11 is offensive then you are just plain crazy and way too sensitive to be actual man. Outside the Arab world, there may be 5 people who think like that. Have you every heard an off color or racist joke and thought it was funny? I have....all the time. Does it make me racist? No more than it makes Chris Rock racist to tell white people jokes...which is to say not at all. You don't have a clue as to the meaning of racist and where to apply the term. You miss use it (liek OJ did) to further your agenda. Again, I can't get over how fun you liberals must be in real life. ::) |
