Are unions killing America?
#11
is ther nothing else to do then to beat a dead horse? does it matter one way or another what people feel on this issue? i too question the motive on this subject.for one thing there isnt enough unions to kill america. greed from all sides played the downard spiral for this country. can you honestly say if all unions were gone this country would be in great shape? look how many unions are in other countries. we must be the only ones doing crappy because of unions. wait a minute, china is not a union country, all their workers must be living in the lap of luxury. living in modest 3 bedroom ranch homes with 3 or 4 kids, a dog and a couple of cars out front. wait that isnt luxury thats just living. well anyways they must be living good i bet. wait maybe its japan with all of thier non-union, they must be living pretty good. no maybe its germany, or maybe russia, india maybe. im so confused. some where out there is a country just thriving because there is no union. just gotta be

Go ahead and close it if you feel it will start issues, that was not the intention of the thread. I haven't seen any issues in it yet but if that is the direction it is headed then feel free to just delete the entire thread.
No I did not search the site to see any past union threads, I usually do not search every topic I post about on forums since on other sites i frequent threads rarely if ever start flame wars. If that is necessary on this site due to sensitivity or maturity issues then I doubt I will be posting much more on here if every topic and post requires members to "walk on eggshells".
I thought this forum section was for general chit chat and discussions, I suppose I was mistaken.
Please delete this thread.

Zappa Said it this way
Mr. Zappa always had a special way with words.

This is a song about the union, friends
How they ****ed you over and the way they bends
The rules to suit a special few
And you gets pooched every time the do
Once upon a time the idea was good
If only they'd a done what they said they would
It ain't no better, they's makin' it worse
The labor movement's got the Mafia curse
Don't be no fool, don't be no dope
Common sense is your only hope
When the union tells you it's time to strike
Tell the mother****er to take a hike
You know we gotta stick together
Stick Together

It is and I will not take action at this time. As I said discuss/debate it without flaming and all is good. That is not directed at you but rather everyone.

So far so good!
It's one thing to start a thread that is a fired topic and another to sit back to read what others have to say. I don't agree with posting after every reply to counter point a disagreeing argumentative view to try to convince every one your point of view either by the poster or a respondents post.
Again, as I have said numerous times, it's the personal and insulting posts that get threads closed or deleted.
Keep things in check and I see no need to close this thread (at the moment), unless JonyyB sees otherwise.

Killing America? No. They only help to ruin companies.
Needed or are of any use in the country? Again, No.
If you quote this, you are only trying to start something, so don't. Don't ask for an opinion and start a debate.
