Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

I joined the service, I went to night school and got a degree. When I got out of the service I got a job that provided education reimbursement and got my BSEE.

Now tell me how I was able to that. And then tell me why everyone can't do that?

Sure, there are extenuating circumstances in everyones life, but by and large there is no reason people can't be successful except for either laziness, ignorance or stupidity.
If everyone gets a degree, who is going to do the real work?

The Mexicans?

They are being encouraged to get degree's too.

Soon all the poor laborers will have been used up in Mexico, and Mexico will be empty.

But thats ok, because we can import everyone from the 4 corners of the earth to do our work for us while we fan ourselves and drink Manhattans and chat about the latest episode of Sex in the City.

Are we supposed to take the above comment with any degree of seriousness?

Are you suggesting people with degrees do manual labor? Because you are out of your mind if you think that.

So, you're suggesting that we limit the number people that can go to school so we still have laborers available to do the menial jobs? Is that what you're saying?

I think you might benefit from a 12 step program because whatever you're on is severely affecting any sense of judgment that you might have once had..

No.....
But I'm suggesting that some individuals get a job and become a productive member of society instead of becoming a real a PITA on this board....

What you are suggesting is instead of demanding higher wages from the rich, we should all just attempt to join the rich.


But that can't happen, because we can't all be rich. If everyone was rich, rich wouldn't be that different than regular because everyone has the same amount of money.

And we all can't run a society where we all sit behind a desk while no one does any meaningful work.

Try as you may, roads don't get built and rebuilt by people who study for degrees. Maybe the guy who owns the construction corporation may have a degree, but the workers who he exploits for his personal gain don't and wont, ever.

We all can't be degreed slave owners, someone's gotta be the slave in a system like that.

If gas hits 50 bucks a gallon, that would've been a liberal at work.

Yeah right. Bush and Cheny the oil men get in and fuel prices skyrocket.

If you think that is a coincidence I have some kool-aid you might be interested in.

Just like those dumb truck drivers I keep hearing about, huh?

Why would building a road be the highest you would want to achieve? Would building roads be better suited for someone going to school?

Is building roads a career path many kids dream about?

Your stupid attitude towards workers in this Country is half the problem, we don't have to settle for ANYTHING. No one is pre-destined to be a road builder, they do it because they chose to stop there.

Now they either make a career out of road building, or they do the sensible thing and use road building as a stepping stone to do what they really want to do.

This ridiculous notion that "we need it done" so someone has to make it their lives work, is utter nonsense.

This Country has a never ending supply of people newly entering the workforce, they get the minimum wage jobs. They work hard, learn how to be a good worker and go to school. They get out of school and get a job paying above minimum wage.

And so and so on.

You need to drop this class warfare Bull and do what you need to do to get ahead.

No one is stopping you, but you.

Then dohbama gets in and fuel price doesn't drop. In fact it just went up. I don't want any of your kool-aid, it appears to cause brain damage.
