It's fantastic, it comes with hamburger, bacon, cheddar, and mozzerella cheese's, with sauce. Tastes great on either thin or hand tossed crust, but for a real treat try it deep dish style.

Just when you try to think that society has moved past this sort of ridiculous behavior you hear a story like this.

#1. I'm not a republican

#2. I never said I had a problem with Sotomayor, I was merely citing the case that brought the subject of reverse discrimination up.

#3. You say I'm racist assuming that I am white because I defended the rights of the white firefighters in the article.

To make the assumptions you have based only on my post and label me as you have, sounds like racism to me. Add to that the fact you refuse to explain your charge that my post is racist, tells me you lack the courage or conviction to prove your hasty statements.

Thank you for your 2 cents, I can tell you know how to make money go a lot further than most, lol. Your response is totally correct in the contradictions put forth by the people who are supposedly pushing for "equality and fairness" for all.

 I'll send you a pair of my asbestos underwear so your prepared for all the flaming.

Agreed, as this is just another label put on people for the purpose of dividing us up.

I admit I didn't take the time to read the entire case docket, I was only commenting what was reported in the Wall Street Journal. 

  My conclusion to that story was that decisions based on the color of someone's skin are wrong, no matter what color we are talking about. Sounds like a pretty well founded conclusion to me.

I had to reread my own post to make sure I didn't state that I was a Republican. Yet another case of people assuming things based on an opinion that is in oposition to their own. Since I said something you don't agree with I must be from the other side. That is one of the main problems with politics today, everything is so polarized. If you don't stay in line with everything the party says and does, you must be with the other side.

How am I being racist by saying any decision that is made on the basis of the color of someone's skin is wrong?

Winona, there are people out there who only respond to rude treatment, it's wierd but if your treat them nice they just get more upset with you like you said.  I know where your comming from having worked all too closley with the public. When I'm in a store I remember what I had to go through and try to be as considerate and polite as I can to the workers. I have had excellent service and horrible service, I try to applaud the excellent work and write the bad off as they were having a bad day. One thing I've noticed, is people are much more likely to write to a company to complain about bad service than they are to praise someone who went out of their way. I have done both in the past and my letters praising an employee who went above and beyond the call of duty have always gotten more of a response. I think its just that they get so many petty complaint letters, the compliment letters really grab their attention. I've seen too many stupid, thoughtless people, berate someone in a store or resaturant, usually for something that wasn't even their fault. I try to do my part to let workers know that their efforts are appreciated, even if most people won't say so. Keep up the good work, some people do notice.

Ya gotta be nice to them, even when they aren't nice to you. Your best bet is to hope Karma will catch up to them eventually.

I've even seen it here on Gather. Nothing can bring normal rational people into a shouting match quite like politics, with religion running a close second.

Do you have kid's?  Sounds like parent logic to me. My wife's mom used to say when they were kids " I don't know why I buy ice cream when all you kids do is eat it."  How can you argue with logic like that.

Depends on the restaurant, but most servers who are any good at it can make a lot more in tips than what they bring home on their paycheck. The company is required to make up any difference in pay between what they would have made working the same number of hours at minimum wage, and what the made with their salay and tips.

Charles, I've read my share of history books and know we've had great presidents, good one's, so so presidents, not so good ones, and downright terrible presidents. In my opinion W. is at the top of the last grouping of presidents. I know I didn't have to live through any of the other really bad presidents, with the possible exception of Nixion, but you would have to show me some real proof that any other president left the country worse off than W. did. Or lied to the country to get into a war, and let's not forget his complete lack of public speaking ability. His speaches will give commedians material for years to come, and they don't even have to add a punchline, just play the clip.

And Ape, please explain to me how Democrats voting to block the closing of Gitmo has any connection to the GOP, which the last time I checked was the Republican party. While I agree with you the GOP is in desperate need of a leader that doesn't come across as a loon (Rush). I'm not understanding how the Republicans could be responsible for the Democrats voting not to close Gitmo.

Won't take'em that long unless they have to keep running back to base for more beer.
