Her opinion? It�s self-evident that you are speaking for her--your memory can�t be that bad. Did you forget your oh-so articulate appeal to emotion? Here it is:

Originally posted by Dave Akermanis My girlfriend's mother died when she was very young. Her father suddenly passed away recently leaving her, and her sister, with no provisions and no will... He was in his early forties. She really needed to finish her education and English literature degrees during the F/W semester so she could get the teaching job she has lined up and move on with her life. Money is running out and she is stuck working a menial part time job because she is stuck without her degree as a result of this labour situation.

You paint a sad picture, and I�m telling you that unionization in secondary and post secondary institutions are in place particularly to help those like your girlfriend--that is after she gets a position. So spare me your illogical, selective, and double-standard way of reasoning. Either present your arguments logically, or at least admit that you�re being fallacious.

We're talking about the present for starters. Second, we're talking about a specific union... not the concept of unions as a whole.

.

... out of the blue here...

If all unions whined for more money like the YorkU union is, then most businesses would say fuck the unions and hire another source for the same staff minus the union.

There's another union which as of late is practically taking the companies that hire them down the tubes....

.... THE AMERICAN AUTO MAKERS!!

If the automotive industry in America would fire all unionized workers (most of whom all make %300 more than the job initially merits) and hire fresh non-union staff to do the same work (and I guarantee they can find the people) they would not need any bail-out money, and would be able to spend the cash on actually making reliable cars and learn a little something from the import auto companies.


.... to correlate:: If the YorkU union fucks with people too much (and they are at this point... it is very evident) then the people who have to pay for the services will not want to anymore and thus the YorkU business will crash upon itself.

Can you imagine how angry all the students will be at the TAs if/when they come back?? I'd be throwing frozen water bottles!!


I work in the A/V field. In Canada, we do not unionize. In the USA, the A/V professionals like myself have the option of unionizing... but it's a fact that they get less work just because they cost too much more than non-union A/V people.... and what difference is there between them? ... usually just a few extra sheets of paper.... from the union.


//end rant.

You're really bad at this.

stop embarrassing yourself and just concede the fact that you have not and cannot present yourself logically without contradicting yourself in every post.

It's on the same god-damn page.

My God, you are a child. At least Skipper can defend her arguments somewhat logically--you my friend, are a disappointment.

Tell me how they are different, tell me how I am twisting you words--how the fuck can I even put words in your mouth? I AM QUOTING YOU.

I know comprehension and reading is not your thing, and god forbid you attempt to employ any sense of logic, but please, do not kid yourself--or me.

The words are right here--your words--are right here: quoted and and unaltered.

Way to be an asshole fuckstick. I know comprehension and reading isn't YOUR thing but you'll notice i said it was different threads of discussion WITHIN THE SAME FORUM POST. I was replying to completely different comments there dude.

You might be quoting me but you're using disparate comments to address a completely different discussion, with a completely different person, in response to a completely different comment.

You cannot say something is irrelevant, and you cannot dismiss an argument without presenting your evidence for the nullification.
Show me where you were discussing two separate issues.

Here is the text: unaltered, and impartial:

DigiNut says:

Originally posted by DigiNut What's a little ironic to me about this whole clusterfuck is that the unions are screwing over their most ardent supporters outside of the unions themselves. The universities, the teachers, the ATU (TTC), all collectively flipping the bird to the Lib and Dipper generations. Can't be much longer before most of society catches onto the fact that unionization in its current incarnation is no longer a sustainable labour model.

You respond by saying:

THERE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED YOUR STANCE in regards to the concept of unionization.

Then when I say:

In addition, I previously recognized that unionization is far more beneficial than non-unionization.

In responding you say:

Tell me how that�s not a direct contradiction--please enlighten me. Oh and don't just say 'oh because it's not.' You speak so highly of comprehension; try employing it.

I'm waiting.

you're a fucking idiot. I replied to your comments about the union holding students hostage and now you're attacking my stance on unions on general.

Originally posted by Dave Akermanis you're a fucking idiot. I replied to your comments about the union holding students hostage and now you're attacking my stance on unions on general.

And I rest my case.

I have outlined explicitly, how and when you are being utterly fallacious, and time and again, you respond with emoticons--there is nothing else to say--I have given you numerous opportunities to defend your case.

However, I am generally a nice person. And so I'd like to offer you to come sit in the intermediate logic tutorial I teach, I think you could benefit it from it--greatly.

We're talking about two completely different issues. You can keep waving your dick around talking about the larger issues but I've still never once talked to YOU about the concept of unionization as a whole in this thread.

Prove me wrong smart guy. Use all that logic and reasoning you keep talking about... maybe it will help you because you certainly cant read.

Your argument is:

1. My opinion on the concept of unionization is clear and stated in this thread.

2. However, I've still never once talked to YOU about the concept of unionization--I stated my stance to someone else.

Thus, even though I've said where I stand on the concept, seeing as I did not mention it to you directly, you cannot use it against me.

A recap:

Person "a" agrees with person "c" that 'unionization is no longer a sustainable labour model'

Person "b" tells person "a" that 'unionization is a very good model: in the specific example person "a" has given and in general'

Person "a" says to person "b" that 'I've never said to you directly that 'unionization is no longer a sustainable labour model,' thus you can't use what I've stated to person "c" against me.


You're too easy; I almost feel bad--almost.

well the law says they have a right to go on strike and that won't be changing any time soon. You have a very one sided view of this issue (not surprising, considering your background and education) and you can't really refute some of the larger points we've made.

"If you don't like your job, quit and leave" is an oversimplified and narrow minded way of looking at things, especially with all the very real issues in the workplace.

Ok dude, first of all, you dropped into this thread posting about stuff that's already been discussed (and some of what you are saying is clearly not factual and ridiculous). So you think SCABS should be allowed to take the place of unionised workers? You want to be a scab eh? Do you realise that we have fucking laws that prevent that kind of shit? Laws that have been around for as long as five or six decades? And you think they should be wiped away so we can break the unions and hire scab workers at half the cost?

You are a fucking moron. An absolute fucking tool. Please do not send your children anywhere near my workplace. It's a school. Did you ever go to one?

LOL

How impudently delicious.

I think we can close the casket on this discussion Smitty--the voice of reason reigns uncontested.

(plus it's like talking to a wall for the most part--I envy your patience in prolonging the discussion this far)

fucking idiot. my opinion of unionization has NOTHING to do with my comments about them holding students hostage. Get off your high horse and stop masturbating all over this fucking board. Get your fucking ego in check dicklock. For you to even suggest otherwise is completely nonsensical.

Relax there sport.

You argued with an anecdote about your girlfriends dying family and the malevolence of unions. I pointed out that unionization is in place, particularly to assist people like your girlfriend--who ironically enough aspires to teach.

And that's all I did, was point the irony of your anecdotal advocacy in regards to her current position, to the position she'll inevitably be in once she is a teacher; in contrast to your naive and counterproductive stance on anti-unionization.

I really can't dumb it down any further--and I'm pleased to see how thoughtful you're developing your arguments, when the highlight of your most recent posts have been flimsy attempts at being witty. Don't get me wrong; putting 'dick' and 'lock' together to form 'dicklock' is incredibly witty.
