Well then I guess I'm not leaving at all ;)

Short of that plant exploding I'm not leaving.

Knee-jerk reactions may be norm right now, but in fact we cannot due without nuclear power and that reality will sink in soon enough.

CNN was running an interview with a guy in Shibuya and asked him with all seriousness if the government was handing out food and water in Tokyo...

Is CNN this clueless???

Sorry to say when of the things I have not missed about the US is the tendency of the news companies to panic people whenever possible.

It was interesting that poll.

As were the other 20-odd polls that came up with the same conclusion.

Kumi used to be rich, but she blew it all on sunless tanner and press-on nails. It's quite sad ;)

Strange, why would he need to lay people off if he received the concessions he needed to balance the budget :|

Meh, as long as it has a good 3 inches of padding in it it will sell well....

Maybe that was true back in anatole's day when showing ankle was like pornography. Modern womens clothes should interest a man who is interested in women :)

Er, because of the collective bargaining rights issue....

@moa, I see, so it's not about balancing the budget. At least that's clear now.

The union already conceded to those demands, so that's enough to balance the budget.

Kumi in a serious relationship... Cmon now, I don't think she can love two people enough for it to work....

Hehe, 6 billion.... I was kiiiidng

It was 6 trillion :)

I heard it was actually 6 billion to clean up....

Pro free markets? What is that?? Who does that??

Hah, what is the "stated" purpose of a corporation? Does it look out for its own? Is there corruption? Do companies pay politicians for favorable treatment? It's all the same-human nature. Nobody is talking about curbing corporate rights, as a matter of fact in lobbying they have been expanded...

If you don't like rackets stay away from any organization. They're all the same. A union just happens to be one for the "stated" purpose of advancing its members benefits.

I suspect the details are accompanying each other on romantic visits to the doctors office :0

Hehe, there's been 20 odd polls done on this with all essentially the same conclusion, but hey if you like the bubble more power to you... :0

moa, you think posters coordinate with each other?!? Lol

Much like before you can't name the poll which says the people of wi support walker..... I'd post some more good bubbling quotes but the mods will surely delete :(

I have checked the polls. One says they support him and all the rest says they support the union. Hope you're enjoying the bubble... ;)

I love reading the posta of bubble living true believers. This is what the people want! I don't care what the polls say!!! Lol :0

You go gov walker... Even if you get it through it won't last for what ? Two years? Do something the people don't want and ....

As far as the women go, they are all cute but unobtainable....

Are we looking at the same picture?? :0

Since public service unions can vote their own candidates into power and thus can help themselves to ever more taxpayers money, they are not "union" in the way we understand the concept, but more akin to a Mafia extortion racket.

Sounds like corporations or any special interest to me...

I have been thinking... there are many examples of corruption and abuse at corporations. We should do away with those...

According to the results of the last mid-term election, the majority of taxpaying voters don't approve of the bank bailout either. Elected representatives are being "told" to rein in spending, cut the deficits of city, State and the Federal government and create an evironment where private businesses will create jobs or the taxpaying voters will find someone who can.

And all that being said, they don't agree with what Walker proposes to do in Wisconsin. What a conundrum for the GOP. I almost feel bad for them...

The really funny part is this: the government isn't even getting in the way of business right now. Private sector just isn't hiring and that's due to lack of demand. Nothing we do with the public sector will make that any better.

Wolfpack, how can unions prevent people from working? If they don't want to work in the public sector they can just work elsewhere. Don't you believe in the free market??

I must commend the GOP for sowing the seeds of the dem comeback in 2012. How they could be wasting their time on this immensely unpopular gambit is beyond me.

I mean unless they really have no idea what to do about the economy.... Really that's the truth isn't it.....

Japan's "reefer madness" attitude to mj always makes me laugh. :0
