If you apply for a job with the City of Bozeman, Montana - a mid-sized burg halfway across these United States - you're forced to surrender usernames and passwords for every account you've set up with websites of the "social networking" variety.
According to the City, that includes everything from Facebook and MySpace to YouTube to, well, Yahoo! and Google.

Whatever... find a new job... it doesn't make any sense to work for someone so draconian...
Matter of fact.. Quit your job and start a business... that's what I did.. and life is great, I do what I want, when I want, wherever I want...
Matter of fact,I think I'm going to have a cold one right now... and then go swimming

Well when there are people fighting to get jobs in some areas, do they really have another choice? Not everyone can setup their own business.

That's simply a mindset... reality is never like we imagine it is...

Man, you have a mindset where everybody has the same blessings as you do.
It's all well and good to gloat about your great life and how cool you are for drinking cold beers all day while you go swimming but lots of people are starving and don't exactly have collateral to put down for a goddamn loan.

Man, I'd advise not arguing against him because frankly it isn't worth the effort. He doesn't change his viewpoints and he's a wildly liberal person who thinks a small fluffy kitten bursting with creative energy resides somewhere in the heart of every human being because on some level the universe is fundamentally just and fair.

Originally posted by HunkaHunkaAnd I don't believe the Universe is fair at all... as a matter of fact, that's the premise of my argument.
You can't look to others to supply you with a job... you have to create your own reality. It's not about fairness.. it's about survival of the fittest... but mentally, not so much physically.
The biggest problem in this world is that too many of us allow the outside world to dictate our own reality... when most of what everyone else says is really just their interpretation on reality.
Remove the conceptual limitations of what your believe and go out and find out the real limitations... you will find they are much different than what you believe.
And if the way you believe isn't working... then change the way you believe...
I always change my viewpoints, but only so much that the ball of fire on the horizon is a rising sun, not a setting one.
I agree... there is no fairness in the universe, because "fair" is a concept.... not an objective phenomenon.

And to be fair, I suppose it is not as high as it could be, but on the flip side, when you have a terrible credit rating, in the middle of a global recession, starting your own business really isn't as easy as you make it out to be!
