No. Get back to us when you tossers can get your story straight. Until then, bugger off.

And your point is what, exactly?
When you appoint yourself as some kind of arbiter of traffic rules you basically grant yourself a kind of superiority that's neither earned nor wanted by your fellow motorists.
How about you just shut the fuck up and drive like the rest of us?
As if it's never the case that people have children in the expectation that their current financial situation won't suddenly take a turn for the worse; as if what made perfect sense 10 years ago doesn't make sense now when you have a 10-year-old kid to support.
This idea of yours, that people should somehow be able to magically predict their financial future is pure bullshit.
I mean, you just described driving like an asshole, what more do you want?
While I agree with your assessment vis claims and observable truths, I also think that religion has to be seen as a kind of naturally evolved and universal system of sense-making in anatomically modern homo sapiens that would not exist did it not serve some kind of selective value in our distant past as a species.
In other words, religion, or notions of spirituality, wouldn't be as universal as they seemingly are were it not the case that they played something like an adaptive role in human evolution.
What hysteria?
In my union good workers get paid above scale or they get promoted or they move to a different company that will pay them above scale. Also, people have reputations and if you're a complete fuckup of an employee, you will either be fired or laid off and eventually you'll find yourself on the "available for work" list down at the hall, but never getting hired because nobody wants to put up with your bullshit. You will say that it's a kind of informal blacklisting, which is true, but I'm in the union too and they can't make me hire people I know I don't want.
Public employee unions are a bit different though because unlike labor unions there is a third interested party in addition to management and labor, namely the public.
It's not bad, it's funny.
Some ridiculous percentage of all currently publishing novelists in the US have an MFA in literature or creative writing or something similar. If this makes you feel a little suspicious about how the publishing industry actually works, it should. It's very much a closed ecosystem that's all about recycling the tried and true and that is highly risk averse in terms of straying from the norm. This is why it's almost impossible for "regular" people to get a novel published unless they self-publish.
Also, 50k words is pretty short for a novel. It's more of a novella.
This comment is a minor masterpiece of rambling disjointed incoherence. I couldn't do better if I tried. Were you roaring drunk when you wrote it? Do you even remember writing it?
