    your saying Lesner has to outlast Mir's punches? I don't know what fights you have been watching, Mir was getting his ASS handed to him before he caught him with the ankle lock. No one in the UFC today has Lesner's punching power and the guy is getting better exponentially with every fight. * Evans is NASTY, Forrest did what needed to be done in the first 2 rounds but just got caught. I was really wanting Forrsest to try and put evans on his back, i could be wroung but hasn't he pretty much been fighting strikers up to this point? i haven seen him fight somone with dangerous submission skills.
  5. I agree that it wont work for GM, because both the company and the workers are used to the union way of life, distrusting each other and always thinking that the other side is against them. I'm not going to cry about a CEO making a few million a year, more power to them, it's a small fraction of a percent of the overhead in a multi-billion dollar company. Those guys worked smart and hard to get where they are, God bless America where people can move up societies ladder. By the way, how about higher ups in the unions? they don't get any extra benifits? c'mon man the UAW has become exactly what they were supposed to protect people from. Using me as an example is just not good, Honda has never laid off a full-time worker in the United States. And we have never had a paycut. On the other hand, i understand IF they did have a layoff, it would be the entire plant, and i would gladly take that opprotunity to finish up my college degree to get a better job. How is this you say . . . I don't live out of my means, put money back to in case bad things do happen. Seems like a hard concept in todays world, but it's how people lived just a couple generations ago.
  6. your example showed exactly what is wrong with unions, They chose to get laid off when they refused to work out a suitable solution for the union and the company. you yourself admited the company was in trouble, what did you expect the company to do?

    i've been wanting to try it my i'm too addicted to warcrack.
  9. 82% of union workers are angry people. That's a fact, well because i said it was. And yes 70% of honda, toyota and nissan workers are illegal and are paid in rice instead of money.
  10. I've done it, when i had the 99 GT, i was like the 3rd fastest car there. You do get 2 test and tune passes, they dont care what u run at that point. With the mustang i would pace a slow car then try to beat it by a couple feet at the top end and made it to the final 8. i should be there this year.
  11. 85% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
  12. alright your preious points were retarded and ignorant. 1. honda is non-union, the picture u mpaint of tons of illegals working there, well is false, we have very few mexicans at all, let alone illegal ones, working there over 4 years i cannot ever remember meeting a first generation mexican american at honda. 2. GM line workers at top pay see more like 38 $/hr. and make over 100k, The 60k a year guy you decribe sounds more like a honda worker. hell even our temps start over $11 an hour. now to the current post, you are still ignorant. We were not cut back to 3 days a week idiot. We are only producing cars 3 days a week, the other 2 days are optional, we can come in and work painting, maintaining the plant & working on improvement projects on those days. Or we can take the day off if we choose and do what we want with it. No one is arguing that the auto industry as a whole is not selling, but honda has been telling about this coming for 2 years now and planned for it. Also you have not done your research, Honda has a nice benifits package and retirement sure may not be as much as a UAW worker (really, who's is?), but at least we know the money is going to be there when i'm ready to retire in 20+ years. Your living a pipe dream if you think that the UAW can sustain retirement benifits like they do for the next 30 years. Not the way that those funds have been monkeyed with the last few decades. The union was initially intended to work WITH the employer to reach fair compensation and fair work conditions for the people they represent. Your example of a union not budging on anything when it's company is not doing well only backs up my point. Essentially that Union negotuiated themselves out jobs for it's people. Most unions have become the beurocracy that they were supposed to protect people from.
  13. not true. people around my plant have been talking about how with shared suppliers we would be screwed, short term . . . sure, long term . . we gain marketshare when things pick back up.
  14. +1 for actually controling the car, doing it in a seemingly empty lot, and not crashing into anything . . . wait, i take back that last part.
  15. Family, good job, ohio has about everthing. actually there are only about 2 things i hate about ohio, our drivers, and columbus and cleveland politics screwing things up for the rest of the state.
