in 2015 we'll try to learn the same lesson we've been trying to learn since wwII...
these people don't want our help, & don't really need it. make these countries deal with their own problems for the next hundred years.

What's wrong with making bank? T1-2 are legendary status, Titanics practical effects are amazing for its day (actual setbuilding?!) and then again in the CGI arena with Avatar.
But not one of them is actually a good story. :p
Are we really looking for a compelling story in action movies? That's Cameron's genre afterall. I praised his practical work in his films (behind the scenes on all his films are a good watch) and his ability to deliver on what he's good at. Blockbusters.

Plus, I would love how some people think that companies are *** over people by giving them jobs....
brb, going to go flip a coin to decide if I just want to laugh at this, or if I want to get into this fruitless argument. Yeah, I can see how you think a company who gives you a job is really screwing you over by giving you a job. It goes well with your way of thinking.
Yes, working a meaningless get nowhere part time "job" where you can't even make ends meet, and have to have your pay subsidized by the government, instead of just hiring full time employees and paying them properly is really doing people favors.

People wonder why Romney didn't get elected. Right, let's give full time work to workers during times that there is only a need for temporary additional help (like holidays and such).
If you ever were to run a business, I would guarantee that you would be bankrupt within a year. Tells what you know, they run these places with part time employees year round, not just in the holiday season, well except for January, nobody gets hours in January.
But I wouldn't want to run a retail chain, I have standards.

And yet we need "these people" in the global economy.

Costco does actually treat a majority of their workers like ***. At least in Canada.
They've been known to violate numerous work and safety laws.

You make it sound like everyone is part time when they work for a dead end job like retail sales.
Yes, a growing number of people's hours have been cut, but that doesn't mean that everyone is in the same boat. You are throwing every single business in the same bucket in your hatred because you only have a slim focus on what you want to see.

Trust me, I'd love to watch the ME do it's own thing since I think that Israel can handle itself and the region should learn to handle its own jihadi idiots rather than play sectarian three card monty but we know that ain't happening.
Right now a whole staff of well paid spinsters are justifying our ground invasion against the ISIS. Prepare for another 10-15 years of war gents.
This time against Al Qaeda+1

Clearly they are sophisticated young men and women that just need a nudge and a poke of democracy.

They've been known to violate numerous work and safety laws. Individual stores, most likely.
But I guess since we are branding everything in a group based on a few bad people, then humanity is ***and we must all kill ourselves because somebody murdered somebody today.

They also make employees, and potential employees jump through hurdles and mazes of red tape just to be considered for a promotion/job application, instead of basing it on good work, or applicable credentials on a resume.

I'm well aware that not everyone is part time in retail work, but the trend that has been in place is that the full time positions are shrinking, part time are increasing, no benefits, no pride, no informed employees, no customer service.
At this point they should automate it and at least drop the guise that they give a ***about anything but profits.
The majority of businesses are throwing themselves in that bucket, not I. That is not my perception, that is reality.

I know several people who work at the local one, they all love it, to be fair two of them are in the automotive section and have been for years.

and when it's not paid up it makes the people who have to keep them functional go crazy.

Want me to hold your hand while you read it? It might be a little too advanced for you though.
I'm well aware that not everyone is part time in retail work, but the trend that has been in place is that the full time positions are shrinking, part time are increasing, no benefits, no pride, no informed employees, no customer service. And companies are fully to blame for that, in your mind?

As to the second part: yes.
edit: I'm not taking the time to dig through that whole thing, I'm sure it includes corporate employees in that count, in which case, of course.

Oh, I know people who love working there too, but they still have their gripes about it.
They get steep discounts on products that are already at wholesale prices, but many of them have gone without a break for 12 hour shifts, because management is too busy sitting on their *** to take over for 15 minutes at a register.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
