How much math do you have? :)

Vector Calculus. Kind of need that for electromagnetic theory. Next question?

Typing with my phone seems to leave words out on occasion, thank you for pointing out my profile is messed up. I will fix that next time I have a real computer ready.

And yes it has been done before. But you would have to be blind to not see it coming here. I don't want euthanasia, and have fought against it. But the society we are in seems to be trending that way.

They are now in my field. Good ones are almost always in demand just as really good employees are at just about any time.

[Nik Naym]

Ya know sweetheart,

I don’t give two hoots in a holler who you vote for. I won’t condemn you for it unless you vote FOR Obama.

Grow up and knock off harassing the the rest of us who will NOT vote for that socialist flip flopping baby killer supporting looney bird named Romney.

[JCBreckenridge]

So you have less than I do. Good to know.

Next question?

[JCBreckenridge]

Heh, I have tried. Some listen, some do not.

[JCBreckenridge]

What am I supposed to say when this administration is racking up 10 percent deficits, and wants to implement health care ‘reform’, and force my employer to pay for it?

I am supposed to go along meekly an accept it, or fight along with Dolan and overturn policy designed to cripple America.

[Clara Lou]

Grow up and knock off harassing the the rest of us
FRiend, you posted to me first. Don't post to a FReeper if you don't want a response? See? And, YOU don't speak for "the rest of us"? See? And, as for "growing up," follow your own advice.

Someone finally noticed what I’ve been saying for a long, long time. Boomers are screwing everyone else over. Not to mention grandfathering pensions so that they get theirs, and everyone else gets nothing.

Excuse me but as a 68 year young Seasoned Citizen, I resemble that remark.

I also have to work, but as I am self-employed, am not "stealing" or taking away anyone else's job and will keep working as long as the Good Lord give's me good health and enough stamina to keep on trucking as my business is one which requires manual (as opposed to Manuel, lol) labor.

In the meantime, all I have to say to you younguns who are castigating and taking us Old Farts to task is this:

[Little Ray]

Illegal aliens take the entry level and part-time jobs that teenagers used to hold.
Old farts like me, who are never going to retire, are holding on the jobs that Gen X or Y or whatever, should be moving up into.

[JCBreckenridge]

Well, it really rankles me that the ‘solution’ to bloated public pensions is to cut off new hires. They are happy to collect from us, still.

What was that about taxation and representation?

[doorgunner69]

Obvious you do not know your arse from a hole in the ground about mathematics. Go away now and play with yourself little man.

[JCBreckenridge]

Sir, you left your “Yes we can” sticker behind.
