Teyjattt Okay, Toyota has a manufacturing plant here in the U.S. that is non-union (granted some are made in Japan and shipped here). GM has a manufacturing plant here in the U.S. that is union. I'm not currently aware of which company is making their vehicles in China...

Do you know that monosodium glutamate or MSG has side effects that known for a long time but some people continued to use this as food ingredients. Some of the side effects including burning sensation at the back, neck, chest,...

Teyjattt Different studies using different amounts of MSG. I think most studies/doctors/people agree that MSG in large amounts is not good for your health. But then just about anything in large amounts isn't good for your health.

So, about a week ago, the SEIU "protested" the housing crisis by having 14 buses full of people show up at Greg Baer, deputy General Counsel for corporate law at BoA. There are videos of them on his front stoop with megaphones and...

Teyjattt I agree that yelling "fire" is going too far, as well as being illegal. My point is that saying it's going too far doesn't mean you or I are against freedom of speech. The fact that it was made illegal doesn't mean the politicians who made it law are against...

Teyjattt You got it Evan, everyone likes to blame the politicians, but are we the ones that keep voting them all back in to office? Lil, the cheaper products aren't always the ones made overseas. I've seen name brand products made overseas right next to off-brands...

Teyjattt I'm not in any way saying that because non-union shops paying the same amount means we won't be forced to compete with slave labor. I'm saying that if what you said is true, about companies forcing us down that road. Then why is it that non-union shops pay as...

Teyjattt MSNBC is just as guilty as FOX news on that on, only their bias is on the other side of the political spectrum. You still haven't clarified how someone stating something like 'they go to far' implies they are against the right to protest. MSNBC could easily...

Teyjattt I didn't say anything about the trade deficit with China or the corporate lobbyists. I'm just stating you in one reply you said that non-union plants pay the same amount of money. But in another reply you said that corporations are trying to reduce us to slave...

Teyjattt Perhaps she bought in to the whole "hope and change" message. I can't deny that it's appealing the idea of getting politician in to office who will actually change things, create a more transparent government, weed out corruption and the influence of...

Teyjattt How much MSG is required to cause brain lesions? How much is required to cause Alzheimers? Too much of ANYTHING is harmful to your health. The few studies I've read about the effects of MSG are the effects when the dosages are large. These same types of bad...

Teyjattt In your reply to Amko1of1 you stated that non-union plants were paying about the same as union plants. But now you are saying that corporations are 'constantly at work to reduce the rights of workers in the country along with making us compete against foreign...

Teyjattt I'm just curious how a headline like "they go to far" in any way implies they don't have a right to protest. We have a right to free speech, but yelling 'fire' in a theater is going too far and is not protected by your right to free speech. Just because you...

Teyjattt Some stores like Whole Foods will give you a credit if you bring in your own bags, I think it's only a nickel a bag, but it's better than nothing.

I just recently saw something on the news about a group trying to legalize marijuana. Part of their reasoning is the money it would save on law enforcement not wasting time pursuing it as a criminal offense (I agree), and the fact...

Teyjattt Your second sentence could just as easily apply to the usage of alcohol. I'm hearing about movements to legalize more and more which made me wonder if the whole tax it so the government can make money reasoning is really valid. Thanks for your comment.

Teyjattt I agree with you completely that is how it SHOULD be. That is how it is in my marriage, both our paychecks (when she was working) go in to OUR bank account. But there are couples that still maintain separate accounts and decide who pays for what. In my opinion...

Teyjattt They may be taking their pay down to $1, but their stock options, bonuses, and benefits far outweigh their 'paycheck'. I know the CEO of my company made twice as much in stock options and bonuses as he did on his pay.

Teyjattt Your arguement is only valid when comparing the extremely rich to extreme poverty. If you are 'poor' and you used your tax rebate check to go buy some new nikes and a big screen tv, then that mentality that made you buy those things instead of being more...
