That is most certainly a misrepresentation on their part.

It's nonsense.

You have a very active imagination.

I'll apologize if Daswig says that hard work is easy.

I know I didn't.

Then you wouldn't expect everyone to be able to accomplish it.

Which is it? Hard work which not everyone can do on their own or "Hard" work which is easy enough for everyone to do on their own?

Now that you're spending less time on the computer, maybe you should consider a second job.

Wait, that solved the problems of two people you disagree with!

On second thought, you should just engage in dishonest business practices. By his own admission, that works for Manx. He didn't care to hear about people who improved their lives by, for example, hard work.

Don't know how my solutions were a rewording of anything. You must truly not have read what I wrote. And just made assumptions.

I do believe in hard work, but at the wages paid and people struggling to make a living, you don't get truly hard work you don't inspire advancement, you get resentment and a "Let's stick it to the man" attitude. Have worked enough of those jobs to see it. High turnover, low morale and uncaring work ethics.

Pay a man an honest wage allow him to feel like he is achieving something and he works harder has more loyalty and does what it takes to help the company. Pay a man a barely liveable wage treat him like dirt and you get someone looking for a reason to leave, to sue (look how many wage lawsuits Wal*Mart has been having) and anger.

In other words you get what you pay for, in merchandise and in employees.

But I do have to admire the way you make personal attacks instead of addressing the issue and staying on it with your solutions. You teach me how not to debate issues and how to deflect everything onto my opponent while not offering anything of substance, but trying to make me feel far suprerior.
