It's difficult for child stars to transition into adult roles. The only two choices for a female child star is to become a slut like Brittany Spears, or take a time out at university like Jodie Foster.

Sparky said:So true.

I have more disposable income making 85 with the wife staying home than I did when we both worked and pulled nearly double that.

Plus, I read a financial paper the other day that said that a family of 3 or so on welfare, food stamps, etc actually will have more disposable income than me.

fuckit, I quit.



Working a career is a dead end nowadays. That welfare family has more disposable income because they have no expenses and they don't need to hire mechanics and repair men to take care of their shit. Going out to eat means having a barbecue in their back yard.

And the thing is, the working man is still going to be kicked out on the streets by corporate America once he hits middle age or so. And he's going to have a life style he can't afford anymore, while the welfare man will have built up a comfortable life by then.

I mean, it's so obvious that she would go for the deep, detailed, nuanced take on things.

No, it was part of a somewhat incoherent rant on guns. Still, this was a really stupid media attack.

. said:The colonists WERE British, so, whatever she said or meant to say, apparently she was correct about the Britishness of the people being warned.

Especially in the spring of 1775, everyone was a British subject, and only the most radical of the colonists were pushing for independence.

Both sides that night were British.

It's all a silly argument, anyway. A childish attempt to jump on the poor girl again.



I think this is how the story goes. Hawthorne, I think it was, wrote a poem about Paul Revere where he rides thru the countryside saying "The British are coming", which, of course, he never did.

Palin had just left a Paul Revere memorial where, I'm sure, this was explained to her.

The reporters then caught her outside, and asked her about Paul Revere. She said that he had warned the british.

So the reporters get all excited because she had obviously made a gaffe, she really meant he warned the Americans. So they excitedly send this story back to HQ, where it's found out that she was right. However, they know there must be something in there somewhere, so they publish it anyway.

. said:Haven't heard about this, but if she really said it, she obviously merely misspoke.

On the other hand, Paul Revere DID warn the British, and in fact, he didn't say "the British are coming". Such would have been an absurdity since the colonists WERE British, especially in April of 1775 when the riders set out to warn the people before the battle of Lexington.

And, of course, Revere was captured and detained early that night. Famously, Dawes escaped and continued his ride, and quite a few others joined in to sound the alarm.

But the people on both sides of the battles of Lexington and Concord were British, so Paul Revere DID warn the British that the soldiers were coming.



So Palin was more or less correct?

Oh, here's another trick. Don't keep it a secret, always be asking about it among co-workers.

But, and this is important, act happy about it, happy that you could help. Always be asking him about how the this money is coming along. Now he probably said he'd use it for something, ask him about that, among co-workers and bosses. But always speak like you have genuine concern for his well-being.

Also, if he asks you to stop, happily agree. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you felt that way!"

Of course, immediately begin talking about it again the next time you're with co-workers.

Shiny New Kid said:Fuck that. You've correctly identified the guy as a con man. Talking to him just gives him more opportunity to flim flam.

Its time to file a claim in small claims court. It'll end up there as this kind of guy believes he can talk his way out of anything. Luckily, judges see a lot of this kind of guy.



Oh, that too, definately. But he can weasel some money with talk, too, and it would help him understand these guys.

For example, what if he threatened to take him to court unless he comes up with $250? But then he takes the debtor to court anyway.

Heh? :laugh:

What is important is for you to talk with him and get some communication happening. Every time you talk, you need to get some money. You need to enforce the deal and to put penalties in for non-performance. Grow a pair of you must. Take him to small claims court... Whatever it takes. Stand up for yourself.



This. I've changed my mind about the debtor, he's definitely a crook. What he did was talk you out of your money. Now you were an easy mark, I hardly ever loan money even to my immediate family, there's no way I'd ever loan money to a co-worker.

But you need to learn to be like him. Talk him to giving your money back.

There's a lot of interconnected stuff going on, and I think humanity can only understand a small percentage of it. Maybe with years of study and insight, you might get a little more understanding.

But there's a lot I don't think we're meant to know.

Whoa.

She won the 2001 AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene – Video, for a gang bang scene with urophagia in the film In The Days of Whore (Extreme Associates).[6] Myst had broken down on the set, and wanted to walk off the film and quit the business rather than complete her scene.[7][8]

3. Explain the process by which you convince an 18 year-old girl to agree to be gagged with a dick until she vomits all over herself.
The process by which a model was hired for SLAP HAPPY was no different than hiring for any other sexual performance. I explained the job and what it entailed. I asked her if she could handle it. If she did not think it was for her, that was fine. Good luck, there are plenty of jobs out there for women who will have sex for money. If she felt like she would give it a try, we would shoot it on the spot. 12 minutes of whatever she could take. To be perfectly honest, I tried to hire the girls that gave the ultra-submissive vibe (naturally!). They were the ones who could take it to the next level. Girls like Claudia Atkins, Gia Regency, and Fawnna. It was the personalities of these girls that allowed them to perform as they did. Let's face it: a girl can say stop at any time. If she pushes herself, it demonstrates a willingness to exceed the minimum requirements of the job. I truly believe that these women are no different than the rest of society: they want to be the best at what they do. Seriously.

Yea, the major problem with America is people make too much money, or at least the workers do. What we need to do is to drive wages way down, to the level of a Chinese peasant.

Once we get wages so low the factory owners have to lock the workers in the factories to make them work, like in China, then America will be great again.

Look guys, they weren't worried about the victim suing, they were worried about the families of the firemen or cops suing. It's very difficult to rescue a drowning person. The victim is not thinking, and if he gets his hands on the rescuer, he's going to try to use him as a flotation device. Would be rescuers are drowned all the time that way, sometimes the victim takes two rescuers down with them.

That's why the certified training. And their trained was no longer certified, and if a fireman or cop had drowned, that would be a good basis for a suit.

On top of that danger, here we have a person who wants to drown. He's going to be punching and kicking anyone getting close to them.

That's why the woman didn't go in. That man would have killed her.

and if he has anything worth more to you .. ask for it as collateral.

manage the situation, don't be led around by it.

No one understands it. We're basically moving into a post-industrial economy. Take iphones, for example. 30 years ago making a consumer product that popular would have employed a 100,000 Americans in factories all across the country. Nowadays tho the Chinks just build one monster factory, round up a bunch of peasants and lock them in the factory, and that's all it takes to manufacture millions of iphones, and supply the entire world.

Without factories there are no capitalists or workers. And every economic theory we have is based on capitalists employing workers.

Been freelance since I turned 30.

I have a job now, but I've always been freelance as well. I know people in my niche that are getting good work in their 60s.

Jobs have become a dead end for most people. You hit middle age and they fire you and hire someone younger and cheaper. Or foreign.

Essentially, the old capitalist system of capitalist and labor is disappearing, and being replaced with the third world system of hustling for work and money.

The problem is most of our peers bought into the old system. They don't know how to hustle for work, like that lady mentioned in the OP. If I was needing work like she does I'd be cold calling companies looking for it. Not a job, but just any kind of work. If someone was looking for a computer services company, I'd be there the next day with business cards and a spiel.
