There are those who would disagree, because any criticism is described [and dismissed] as bashing. It's just a different kind of 'blame the victim' strategy, is what it is. Sometimes, I think the same applies to the term 'cherrypickers', in that it gets applied to some who turn down loads that...

Moose, it's not a convoy, it's billed as a rolling blockade, to protest issues both in & outside of trucking. Even if they limited their grievances to trucking related, I wouldn't endorse it, but tacking on the "Ride for the Constitution" label just makes them look completely crazy. I bet DOT...

Ssshhh - don't tell the guys that I'm not really a liberal, ok? It's one of their cherished illusions, lol. ;)

I guess they missed the warning "The National Review is not intended for readers under 18 years of age." Imagine that: they thought adults would question what they read, lol. :rolleyes:

Hahaha - and that "six finger" gun in your post? It doesn't look like a gun to me.....:eek:

Nah, Texans are tough. Even if that's all they are, they're tough, lol.

Ok, that's honest. It's also a human life when the person is in a permanent vegetative state, but we accept the reasons for ending that life. I've said it before but it bears repeating: once you accept the ending of human life for any reason, the only thing left to decide is which reasons are...

The St. Christopher Fund: A Truck Driver CharitySt. Christopher Truckers Development & Relief Fund | The St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF) is a christian-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization that provides assistance I found this months ago, and printed one out...

You're not alone, Zorry, nobody likes feeling unappreciated. My hat's off to you for being willing to step up and try to resolve it - most just complain till they quit.

You agreed to work for someone who wouldn't give you his address, and you're surprised he wouldn't pay you either? And you believe he was your employer, too? I'm guessing you have no written contract, in which case your best contact number would be Dial a Prayer, I think. Sorry, but when you...

In that sense, you're right - I meant that I didn't want to bash the Fed, especially. The successful companies understand that in a contest of "us vs them", everyone loses. When each 'side' works to make the company successful [and profits accordingly], everyone wins. Don't complicate the simple! ;)

I personally think that a shut down and/or running blockade protest is counterproductive [it just angers a whole LOT of people], if not flat out stupid [keeping the left lane open for emergency vehicles is a smart move, but not all vehicles having an emergency or urgent need are official], but...

I don't have a dog in this fight, but this is what I see: when a carrier chooses to use independent contractors rather than employees, they free themselves of the many burdens of that relationship, [and expenses, and even liability, in some cases], and in return, they accept the risks: that...

Bovine feces, deflect, redirect-your vocab is impressive, logic: not so much. There is no deflection or redirection when you contend a baby is murdered, and I explain why that's not the case. As the son of a physician, you should know how important it is to use the correct and accurate words to...

If a fetus is a person, then an egg is a chicken - and there's a very good reason for the advice to refrain from counting your chickens before they're hatched: potential isn't equal to actual. The right uses propaganda to insist that it is, despite what we can see for ourselves.

You don't believe it's your place to point fingers or attack others who are doing wrong [in your opinion], then who hijacked your account to write about immoral posts and people who are ignorant of 'your' word, and don't know what they don't know? You're right about one thing: I don't know what...

Do that, and you'd be explaining it to a judge in short order, because you contracted to perform specific duties that did not include voicing [or disseminating] your opinion on the moral character of the clients. Deliberately inflicting emotional distress upon innocent bystanders? Is that what...

I believe you, and am sorry for your tremendous loss. My assumption is that every person facing a life or death decision, [including whether to end a life sustained solely by medical technology] must be granted the right to make the decision that they believe is best, because no one else is...

Since when do taxpayers have the right to determine what their taxes will or won't be spent on? Because I have serious objections to quite a few things my tax dollars support [like new stadiums for bazillionaire teams & their owners], and it'd probably be a longer list except we don't even know...

Those photos made me reach for the garlic, crucifix, holy water, and silver bullets!
