What role does Affirmative Action play in the events playing out in Ferguson?

Do not believe

Yeah, anything that challenges your worldview.

Hey, what's this "Governmetn department" that takes care of these things, anyway? Is it Sarah Palin's "Department of Law"?

Harassment

We had a supervisor at this same company who tried to file a sexual discrimination case with EEOC because she got demoted and fired. After 3 years of litigation, they found she had been illegally fired... and fined the company all of $300.00.

Sorry, man, nobody shits their pants if EEOC shows up in the Lobby. Now, the IRS and OSHA, that's another story.

Didn't happen.

Oooookay, you keep telling yourself that.

I was there and it did.

The only bad thing was, I didn't take THAT oppurtunity to realize the Capitalist system was all bullshit and cure myself of Republican stupidity. I just chalked it up as "that really bad one". The problem is, they are all that "Really bad one".

On the contrary, Joe...my industry is "notorious" for paying quite well. If you're a bartender at a top club you're walking out at the end of the night with a lot of cash in your pocket. I was a history major in college but I put myself through school working as a bartender. It was the highest paying job around for the hours worked by far!

Hmmm... do you want to make anything else up to prove your point?

I worked at Lily's in Faneuil Hall as a bartender back in the 70's. Ask anyone from Boston if that would have been a good gig, Joe! I made HUGE money at that job.

Okay, that was back in the 1970's when "Minimum Wage" was actually a living wage.

Not impressed.

Do you have any experience from THIS CENTURY?

I ran clubs in Vegas, Aspen, Boston, Myrtle Beach and Wilmington. All this century...all of which you'd probably have had to wait in line to get into.

Sounds like you had trouble holding down a job.

This is another example of the decline of Marriage as a desirable social institution. Children of unwed or divorced parents are much more likely to have emotional problems for which our society pays the price.

In a few years we'll be trying to deal with the dysfunctional children raised in gay households. Added to the other dysfunctions we will have a huge price to pay.
