Just Say *NO* to OREO!

maybe not more important but I think he feels like hes more intelligent and in a different league from the rest of us. I would say though that someone of such a high level of intelligence probably should be posting on the internet that he was privy of highly classified intelligence. I would have to think that if it were true hed surely know how to keep quiet about it. Sounds a bit james blondish to me. But then I don't know much of such things. Like 99 percent of us here I had to sweat for my paycheck. Quote Originally Posted by jcwit View Post

From the tests I took for 2 days prior to being assigned to The Pentagon, yes I was intelligent enough to get the position I got.

I also was good enough to qualify for Officers Candidate School.

Was I better that anyone else, not likely.

It is what it is!

I wish the Upper Class and the Elites could understand that the short term benefits of driving the most possible profit out of their companies will hurt them in the long run. A well compensated Working Class and Middle Class will be simulative to the U.S. economy and will create a better educated and more capable Working Class. If they trickle down enough more of it will trickle back up.

I think, since the early to mid '70s, the top .5 percentile have adopted the notion that money and profits should be gotten while the getting is good. And, because many of them know that most CEOs care only about the next bonus or at most up to the end of their contract, screw the long run.

With regard to "trickle down"; unless you are one of those who wishes to ignore the fact that Reagan was just a tool of the uber wealthy, you know that the only "trickling" that takes place in the "trickle down economics" model, is money and assets "trickling" into Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts.

That was a dumb statement, where did I say it had anything to do with classified intelligence?

I'm fairly sure after 50+ years its long since declassified, and if not have I released any secrets to anyone?

I took an oath not to, and still stand by it.

My ears were burning.

My ears were burning.

No idea why, they've forgotten all about you. Thanks for dropping by and reminding us what this thread was about.

I would think that if you were privy to classified stuff the government wouldn't want you running around saying you were.

I too was asked to stay in the Coast Guard after 8 years of service and go to ocs. had the recommendations and passed the test. Big deal. I had personal problems in my life because of my youngest child and got out. Bottom line is I sure don't think that makes me intelligent. Ive seen a lot of officers that were far from brilliant.

Like I said, it was 50+ years ago that I worked at The Pentagon, that a problem for you to understand?

Why do you have a need to belittle me, just what is your issue towards me, sorry I was the one that got a cush job, wasn't thru any effort of mine, that's where the military put me, don't like it, don't know what to tell you. It is what it is, and once again it was 50+ years ago, most everyone I worked with are dead by now.

So far you are only the 2nd person who has belittled me for my service, thanks a lot.

Frankly in the grand scheme of things it makes little to no difference what you think, or for that matter what I think as well.

For Heavens sake why don't you just let it drop before it eats you all up!

I will add Thank You for Your Service, think you can return the same to me??

this is getting boring. All I can say is that the younger ones here are going to see it before they die and there children are surely going to suffer the loss of the middle class in this country. Keep being cheerleaders for the rich. They appreciate it!! There smiling all the way to the bank. Don't forget the part you played in it by passively watching it happen.

Ever get a job from a poor person?

So, are we still buying Oreo cookies or not?

[Lloyd Smale]

wife made me an oreo cookie cheese cake for my birthday today so I guess I am.

[Lloyd Smale]

no problem with them making money as long as the workforce is fairly compensated and by fairly I mean in agreement with both labor and management not what some rich manager thinks is fair. What happened to the American dream of getting a job, having a car, buying your own house. Are we willing to be the last generation that is allowed that dream.

You believe Reagen was just a tool for the wealthy. Seems to Me, and I do try to stay informed on current as well as past events, that Reagen was instrumental in bringing down the berlin wall and calling out communist socialism for what it was "EVIL". He also stepped up the war on drugs. But I can understand why you union guys hate him. You are for liberal socialism and from some of the post I've seen you most likely enjoy your recreational high. Carl Marx hated the wealthy and got enough people to buy into his hatedred that brought us the ussr all because of those rich folks who had more than them. Keep listening to what your union bosses tell you. They got all the answers

And you think Trumka is a fair arbiter for "business's sake". I'll bet you a steak dinner that Mr. Trumka ONLY cares what happens to Unions, because he earns his money off the backs of hard working men and women and never, NEVER see's his income effected by lay offs or strikes. Look in the dictionary under parasite, Trumka's picture is there for everyone to see.

Dimocrats have already, almost eliminated, the middle class. They call themselves Dimocrats, but they are really Socialists in drag.

The government does not have a problem with people indicating that they have elevated classified data access permissions. It is sometimes a question on job applications. "Have you ever had a secret or top secret clearance?" "Have you ever been denied a secret or top secret clearance?" There are Clearance Levels that are secret and do not even have names or so I have been told and to divulge that would be a violation.
