Re: Get It Over With AlreadyNo shit, why do they even bother telling us this stuff anymore, the pricks will do whatever the hell they want to and you should just bend over and take it. On the plus side it won't be too long before this once great country will probably be destroyed completely by all these greedy fuckers and we'll all be dead. lol | |

Re: Get It Over With Already
No, what will eventually happen is that our wages will go down because we cant compete wage wise with the rest of the world, we will loose all benefits provided by employers, there will be no such thing as a pension and it will be a case of if you cant/wont look out for yourself (personal freedom/responsability, as trumpeted by some here) you will be screwed.
Welcome to the brave new world of being a worker drone.

Yes, and you too can help speed up the process! Just follow these simple steps.
1. Make sure to only buy the cheapest imported goods.
2. If you actually vote, make sure to vote for politicians based on distractions like abortion, gay marriage, etc. don't concern yourself with issues like employment, outsourcing, etc.
3. Make sure to continue support for further funding cuts and increased tuition for education (except keep sports a top priority) and that emphasis is placed on standardized tests instead of that goofy learning stuff.
4. If the company you work for cuts your benefits and/or pay, make sure that other people lose them too, after all it's only fair.
5. Above all else, make sure that you constantly complain yet do nothing. | |

Sounds like the very definition of selling our souls. | |

Re: Get It Over With Already"common sense" dictates that a woman should have the right to choose since no individual situation is the same and she bears the weight of the ultimate decision. "freedom" dictates that one should be free to make a life choice without being made a criminal based on religious beliefs. | |

Common sense would tell us that a child shouldn't be eliminated because of someone else's rights. Don't know why I'm bothering here...... | |

WOW, Shocking - 3 college professors against corp. mergerWhat a surprise. Three college professors are against a corporation making more profit. Will wonders never cease. And it is pretty ironic given that the typical college professor works about 12 hours per week and pulls down over a $100,000 per year minimum. | |

Re: WOW, Shocking - 3 college professors against corp. mergerWhat I like about your post is how you clearly and reasonably deconstruct their data, and don't use inflammatory hyperbole to cheaply discredit them as people. | |

Its true college professors somehow think they know everything, yet there purely agenda driven socialists, who only care is to indoctrinate college goers. I bet the solution is a state run phone system, funded by tax payer dollars. | |

Maybe in your fantasy world, but the professors I know work 60+ hours per week, barely pull in 6 figures, but they are worth every penny. The professors aren't against corporations making a profit, but they ARE against the corps raping the common man. The common man, you know, like your manservant. It's too bad though, because the day will come very soon when the 'common man' is going to say enough is enough. In fact, that date is only a couple of weeks away!
All the fat cat republican scum are going to be kicked out of office come November. And all the corporate scumbags are going to get sent to prison, where they can hang out with bubba. | |

Please come back and admit how wrong you were the day after the election. Personally, I think the Dems will take the House and gain in the Senate, but not enough to take over. I'm all for split government. I'm a libertarian more than anything. I can't stand either the Republicans or the Democrats these days. The 'Pubs in power now drive me nuts over many issues, but then I look over to the Democrat site and think "how can those petty morons possibly do any better?" Both sides are an embarassment these days. Adam | |

Re: WOW, Shocking - 3 college professors against corp. mergersaid by Alpine6:Personally, I think the Dems will take the House and gain in the Senate, but not enough to take over. Rasmussen polling was very good in the last couple of elections. Their site shows the Senate races ending up with 48 Republicans, 47 Democrats, 1 Independent, and 4 races that are too close to call. Regardless of who wins the few contested seats, ridiculous statements like 'sweep the bums out' are just fantasy. | |

actually they're against a merger which will be approved that will create a bigger monopoly called AT&T and they will screw the public even more than they are now with even worse service, broadband to the affluent only...
remember when this was once a cool site? now it has been over run with pro corporate neo cons......
most posts are short and generally one sided because people just get worn out by the mindless dribble.
I would like to know if BBR has had an overall drop in visitors due to this. | |

Don't you mean "remember when the only people that came to this site were far left-wing, anti-corporation, pro-big government socialist hippies?" Hell, this place is still 90% anti-corporate.

Please show me a professor that works 12 hours a week and gets $100,00 per year MINIMUM. As a college student, my professors are putting in between 8-12 hours PER DAY. Or did you mean part-time professors? No, wait, you couldnt have sinced you stated that they make a min of $100k per year. | |

Jackson is dreamingif he thinks the merger will bring video competition to the people his group represents. With state franchises, AT&T will have no incentive to deploy U-verse in poor neighborhoods. | |

Rainbow Coalition Involved ??This seems terribly amusing to me that Jesse Jackson would even have a comment on this. Mr. Jackson has a habit of taking money (for Rainbow) from large corporations and extorting favors to promote his agenda. The digital divide isn't in color..... it's in who can afford the services, white, black, Hispanic or whoever .... God Bless !! | |

Re: Rainbow Coalition Involved ??do you mean he has a habit of extorting money from large corporations to promote his own agenda like Tom Delay, Bob Ney, and the rest of this republican administration, the most corrupt in American history. it's not so easy to blame the black guy with all these indited and soon to be indited white dudes huh? | |

Wow, bash awayHrmm..seems to me I recall a merger not long ago that doesn't seem to have benefited customers all that well. Anyone recall Time Warner and AOL? What about that deal between Comcast and Time Warner to buy out Adelphia?
All though that last one could be a bad example, depending how it fared for certain people in various areas.
The only real reason for many of these companies to merge is to consume their competition and reap more profit. I don't ever recall a merger taking place solely to benefit the consumer. That is not what big business is designed to do. They are beholden to their share holders and could care less what the "lowly" consumer really wants. Otherwise we'd get listened to much more often. | |

WOW, Shocking - A right wing nutcase neo-con supports itWhat a surprise. A nut case neo-con is supporting a corporation ripping off MORE people. Will wonders never cease. And it is pretty ironic given that the typical neo-con astroturfer works about 12 hours per week and pulls down over a $1,000 per year minimum. | |
|

Re: WOW, Shocking - A right wing nutcase neo-con supports itI doubt that the consumers will actually receive any benefits from this merger. All of it is just to make them look better. AT&T even said, they have no reason to give consumers DSL faster then 6.0Mbps.
I've had AT&T DSL before. It's actually pretty good. I needed a temp line so I got their 1.5/1 Plan. And that 1Mb upload was great.
But, they were a monopoly back in the day, and are trying to relive those times.
But that's just my 2cents. | |
