As far as what to say this has always been my favorite quote from the show Sports Night. I do believe it works perfectly in life.
"Actions are immoral. Opinions are not. And I won't apologize for mine. Discussion is good, and for those of us fortunate enough to be the subject of magazine articles, it may be our responsibility from time to time to try and raise the level of debate."
I think that's how everything should be, debate is not bad and you should never apologize for having an opinion no matter how out numbered you are.
True happiness comes from within.
I would advise my children to always strive for success!
And then I would pause for a long time, making eye contact with each and every person in the room, and I would finally define success this way..........
SUCCESS
To laugh often and much
To win the respect of intelligent people, and the affection of children
To earn the appreciation of honest critics, and endure the betrayal of false friends
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others
To leave the world a bit better- whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Oh yeah, and to my boys I would tell them- "Sons, be sure to NEVER marry a girl who only grudgingly gives you a blowie, once a year bitchin' the entire way, while you're dating. Because I can guarantee you'll never, EVER!!! get another one while you're married. Take it from me!!!!".
Hey Audrey -
It's only this ginormous because it's been so long, like a swelling bratwurst left on a grill.
How 'bout a blowie?
I'd ask pamattie but she only likes..err.....loves...err.....can't stop talkin' about...............

OK....my degree is in Mechanical Engineering. I am 34 years old and I've never had a problem getting a very well paying job in my field. Ever.
I don't know you, nor does anyone else on this site. But a casual observer might think that there is something more personal that you are sharing with us.
If you want more credibility for your position, you might want to provide more details.
Education rocks. Don't leave home without it!
I am saying that you stated two things-that you have a technical degree from well known college and you have not be able to get a job.
Don't you have any idea as to why you are not being hired ? No idea at all ?
Based on my experience and that of my friends in the technical field that sounds fishy. It could be lots of things that disqualified you.
We have no idea if you failed a drug test, didn't pass the background test. You never said WHY !!! WHO KNOWS ???? You were just whining about having a degree from a nice school and not being able to get a job.
Bull shit ? Sorry. I've never been turned down for a job in my chosen field, so please keep the name calling to yourself.
AND STOP PMing me ! And stop trolling for attention by not supporting your position !
Yes, I got an MS. What I object to is the implication that education isn't worthwhile and that he wants to play a guessing game as to why he isn't employed.
Education rocks !!
