what the hell is going on here with everybody typing in FONT 20? Are you guys really getting this old? :cool:

Slave labor? WTF are you guys talking about?

I get about $550 a week as a professional Diesel mechanic and the mexicans are taking home more than $800 a week as insulation installers! I'm a professional and they get more money than me just to point a tube at a wall and not let it get too moist. :mad:

The only good side is they always break the damn trucks. I guess it's just job security for me. At least I can down the truck for a day or two if they really f*ck it up.

I dunno man. I've worked with some Latinos that have a work ethic stronger than most Americans. And some of them will work you under the table.

One guy, Manny, small for a carpenter, maybe 5'5" 130 lbs, his front teeth were starting to rot, but holy crap I had to hustle to keep up with the guy sometimes. Fortunately I was better at finish details than most of them.

Oh man, the words straight from Satan's mouth.

Actually LaVey is interesting and I think his opinions are correct regarding many of the religious adherents who have convinced themselves that they are in possession of God's sole truth.

OTOH, I've met a couple of Zen masters that have something going on that is hard to discount. A very calm, strong, and clear presence. I met a martial arts champion once who had a similar vibe. Sort of light around him. I don't think LaVey is going to know about that stuff.
