LOL! Elitisit" Come on rotty tell us of your teenage work experience.

OK, $#ithead. I've been working for more than 26 of my 38 years on this earth, and I'll guarantee I've already worked more in those 26 years than you will in your whole life. You see, I like to work, and to me there is no such thing as a job I won't do (same is true for MOST Americans--Dane excluded).

One month before I turned 12 I started throwing newspapers. Not much work? How many 12 year olds do you know that wake up @ 4 AM on the weekends and holidays to spend 3 hours lugging newspapers all around the neighborhood? Hard work, but I liked it.

The day I was old enough to have a work permit-15 1/2-I applied for and got a job at McDonald's. You know what my very first duty was? (I remember my first day like it was yesterday) Mopping floors, scrubbing dishes, and swabbing toilets--and I was happy to do it for $3.35 an hour. But according to idiots like you, that's a job "Americans won't do".

Six months later I transferred to a new McD's across the street from Disneyland. You whined about working until 11:30--we didn't close until 2AM, when D-land closes during the tourist season. Talk about a rush--How about 200 screaming people in line at 2AM? Never got out before 3AM, and never whined either. Know what I did there? Everything from scrubbing floors (a job "Americans won't do") all the way up to managing the store. It was fun, good experience, and I liked it.

When I turned 18--off to the Navy. And you remember that old commercial about doing more before 9am than most people do all day--absolutely true. 12 hour workdays were short. 18 hour days were normal. Very tough and arduous, but again, I liked it.

So you see, TROLL, I was working before my teens and never stopped. And I don't plan on stopping until I drop dead. Because I like work (and I am not unusual), and I think that elitists like you, who think that it is OK to import a slave class of illegal immigrants to do the jobs "Americans won't do", are doing great deal of damage to young Americans who will never know the value and rewards of hard work, because ILLEGAL ALIENS are usurping all the entry level work that "Americans won't do".

LOL! Keep throwing out that ad hominem "elitist". Face it the children of todays baby boomers are to "good" for these jobs and would rather zombie out in front of the X-box.

BTW, McDonalds is a piece of cake compared to the busboy job I had at a chain steakhouse. At McDonald's the people throw out their own trash and they don't linger an hour after closing time, where I'd have to wait to collect their dishes and then wash their dishes and then clean and tear down the dishwasher for the night.
