What about "Domestic" Issues????

[diamond den™]

Why is it that nobody really brings up stuff that effects people on a day to day basis on this website......

90% of the posts here are about The War On Terror.

What about Healthcare and Education for instance?????

Those are 2 very important things to be really concerned about, IMO.

I've been looking for a job.......There are quite a few possiblites out there.

I had to take a leave of absense from my last job to deal with some personal issues and my company couldn't hold my job for me

I am not happy because it was a really good well paying and fun job to do.

LOL I care about those things. I care because I have 2 kids that will for sure need University degrees to work McDonalds if our system keeps faultering.

Canadian federal Gov researchers have found 9.1 Billion in a surplus as apoosed to the 1.9 they thought they had. (yes Americans we do balance our budget nicely and have tons of money left over) Trouble is, that 9.1 Billion will go back into Federal reserve unless provincial leaders start their screaming now. health care, education, defense are all top priorities, and yet our Gov. is slack on the idea of spending. WTF?

Defense isn't a big concern for Canadians. It isn't for any country barring the USA and Israel.

National security is my #1 concern.

Think of a cop patroling your town. i'd prefer a guy with a few years under his belt , that's been around the block a few times as opposed to some rookie with "lot's of ideas" on how to get things done.

Should gays marry?

Personally, I don't give a shit. Morally I don't agree with it but hey...whatever blows your skirt up. I WOULD like to see less gay programming on TV though.

Taxes?

Honestly....what does it matter? What are you looking for, an extra hundred bucks a year to put towards a Disney vacation?

Give me someone that wants to TOTALLY get rid of income tax, tax me on what I spend and you can have my vote.

Jobs?

Got one. If I need a new one I'll open a paper and get one. Fuck, go work for UPS....they always hire, 30 bucks an hour after 2 years ain't too shabby.

Frankly I'm more concerned about someone slamming an airplane into my place of employment.

AGREED. It's getting worse every day. We should field a candidate for that.

Nope, it doesn't go back into the reserve, it goes to paying down the debt, thus saving the country huge interest $$.

outta luck there. I read somewhere recently that GLADD (i think) says they are making progrss but there still isn't equal representation on TV for homosexuals.

Why don't they have their own cable channel? Seriously.

Hope that helps.

Speaking of Domestic issues. Haven't seen Suzie online since you got back. Where is she? Did you put her in the cellar again?

It's happening already...





Hamburger University is McDonald's worldwide management training center located in Oak Brook, Illinois. Designed exclusively to instruct personnel employed by McDonald's Corporation or employed by McDonald's Independent Franchisees in the various aspects of the business. All training programs begin with one essential ingredient: The Basics of McDonald's Operations.

Founded in 1961, Hamburger University's has come a long way since we opened our first training facility in the basement of a McDonald's restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Since that time we've moved Hamburger University twice and watched the size of classes grow from an average size of about 10 to more than 200 per class.

Today, more than 65,000 managers in McDonald's restaurants have graduated from Hamburger University, now located in a 130,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility on the McDonald's Home Office Campus in Oak Brook, Illinois, with a faculty of 30 resident professors.

Because of McDonald's international scope, translators and electronic equipment enable professors to teach and communicate in 22 languages at one time. McDonald's also manages ten international training centers, including Hamburger Universities in England, Japan, Germany and Australia.

Are these US domestic issues you are talking about?

Why don't you start a thread about the US getting flooded with unskilled iimigrants and the strain it puts on their health and education services...?
