See, there ya go. Just once, admit you're wrong. Apologize. Go ahead, I dare you, Mr. Holier Than Thou.

My question was perfectly innocuous, in fact friendly. You are the one who is overreacting, not me. I know you think that making fun of me is amusement for you, so don't give me this bullshit.

I am always nice to people who are nice to me, it's the ones who are not that I give shit to.

Hippiechick, I think it is well known and fair to say that the example you set for what you believe is filled with contempt for anyone and anything else but. The less you know about me, the better. Try to project a good attitude and decent demeanor toward people who disagree with you for a change, and see if the tide turns for you. You might be surprised.

I hear about unions from my teacher friends, where they play an important part, are hardly greedy, in fact they really don't work hard enough to get teachers all that they deserve.

I can't imagine how much teachers would be taken advantage of without unions.

That's it...when you don't have a good answer, you attack me. Isn't that called "ad hominem"?

I was just asking you to fill out your opinion, not making an accusation toward you. But I guess you are looking to start a little trouble here.

Fortunately no, but I hear the lamentations of my friends and acquaintances that are all the time. Not to mention the problems they cause for us non-union employees.

Is this a test?  Are you going to grade it? I think I just read you say that you're not involved and don't know any details. Please. Spare me the roadside partisan schtick. I gave an opinion based on my own life experience. Being qualified to your seemingly weak standards isn't important to me.

today's unions are all about greed.

OWS is in its infancy, they are more organized than you think. How familiar are you, actually? How familiar with the public school system?

You are right. Have you?

 hippiechick wrote: 
Because their platform is at best poorly articulated, ill defined, and mediocre; much like OWS and our public school system.

You obviously have not been a member of a union in awhile.

Teachers' unions support the teachers. And public service employees represent fire fighters, police, etc. These unions are very important, why do you think The Right is trying to kill them off?
