Jesse James: People Won't Be Happy Unless I 'Kill Myself or Disappear' {PopEater}
May 9th 2011 3:08PM Jesse Who? Man, you give yourself way too much credit. I couldn't care less what you do with yourself. I'm too busy watching your latest ex handle things with the grace and style of a lady. Her cast-offs aren't interesting once they are cast-offs. Get the picture, ex-Mr. Bullock?
Feds Launch Criminal Investigation Against Chipotle {Slashfood}
Apr 23rd 2011 1:16PM Mustang Dad, you are wrong. I applied for landscaping, fast food and retail, while putting myself through college at 33. I ended up working 3 lab assistant jobs (at one time=62 hours a week, not including commute time by bus --which, by the way, was a mile away from where I was living so I walked 2 miles a day.) I worked hard and I did it with efficiency and with a smile on my face. I also had a degree (which I paid every dime of that degree) at the end of these 3 jobs. I went through medical school with 2 jobs (40 hours) until residency. I also paid for that, as well. This idea that American won't work hard or long hours is bogus. We do, it just doesn't make headlines because we do it LEGALLY. It is this opinion that is used as an EXCUSE for illegal activity that made my life hell for 5 months until I could find any employment. I went without food for days, no electricity for a approx. one month and no phone for the first 2 years. No car for 10 years in a very big, but inadequately public-transported, city too.
People who say Americans are not willing to work hard have never been outside of America or employed anyone there. I have. I can tell you, from living in 7 different countries on 5 different continents, that AMERICANS ARE SOME OF THE HARDEST WORKING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. I'll put approx. days off for holidays in America, sick days, etc. up against ANY other country's any day of the week. If you are unlucky enough to employee in a highly religious or alcohol-loving country you can forget making a profit, especially after paying the local gov't's bribes.
People, the real reason this happens is because Americans are used to low tabs and huge portions. Make it a point to tell restaurants that you would pay more for employing a hard-working and just as deserving legal citizen or visa holding college kid, parent, career-changing older adult THEN PROVE IT BY DOING IT.
Signed,
Ex-Manager of a very large and well-known American food franchise

Mar 23rd 2011 11:06AM My neighbor's 2008 Audi was stolen out of his driveway. Irish police are useless with stolen cars. Mine was stolen 2 years ago in my driveway and they told me they knew who did it, but couldn't do anything. Idiots.
My neighbor put it on Facebook and it was found within a week.
