Eight postings up, you wanted to "move on" yet you keep making comments on this thread...

Remember in "American Grafitti" when the Moose guy says, " This place is for fun." while the Pharaohs are jimmying the pinball machines behind Kurt's back???
Well this place oughta be about fun and not about fighting!!!
For me it's about expiation.
I was never a big fan of Christianity, but me and my ex did dodge into the chapel at our son's treatment center, and I came to believe.....in there.....that I should kick my own shabby recovery program into a higher gear. There was no escaping it!!! I was in a box and Adrian and I won't settlle for a lesser effort.
Didn't mean to get this serious in such an absuird thread, but that's where I am.
Mookie, it was a mostly chaste weekend with some non-sexual massages and a lot of hugs and tears. The B&B was infested with feral cats and one would sleep on the porch and stroll over for ear and (rump-up) back rubs every morniing.
CSX, Doggy, Kevin and UP:::get fresh, renew and toss off those old guises.
Let's get the place tidy and ready for more fun and more flanking fire from your faithful grammar grocer , rixflix.

Listen up Railfix, you emntioned my name, in a bad way, and because you can't figure thta out for yourself, Big mistake.

Look, should you have a desire to treat people with little to no respect, then try it on someone else, your pathetic little game of verbal tag-your-it, not only is dull, it is for children, evedently, you never grew out of that phase.

Now before i bring myself to your level, i will stop because, reducing myself to your level will soely prove that i have entered an exestential quadrant full of loathing and complete and utter dissrespect for man kind, and wondering what my pittiful and meaningless exisistance is about..

Now to translate into unscientific terms, Like your mom always taught you, if you don't have anyhting nice to say, don't say anyhting at all.

you want to talk about age there, Zigmand? Well, if I was to do a Standerd IQ test on you, you might walk away with a mental age rating of about 10.5 to maybe 12 years of age, And you certainly demonstrate that on the forums.

Now i will battle with you, come hell, high water, tempest, tornado.. until you back down, and sease to mention my name in a typical "railfix" manor.

If your going to salm soemoen down, why don't you pull a typical "railfix" and take up battle with some 12 year old who can't defend themselves? or are you fresh out?

Too bad you happened by when you did.
I know the Topic drew you in because of it's silly question. "Do you support Rule G?"
Would anyone support Rule FF ( Feel Free to F...k Off While on Duty)?
It' a ridiculous question deserving a ridiculous replly and if you disregard the usual locusts around these forums like... well, no sense stirring 'em up again....the undecipherable ranters, the rest of the thread becomes clear. When I posted "No, no ,no", it was intended to puncture the whole thread, attract the more sentient of us (after all!) train lovers and turn the whole shebang into a club of vicarious boozers who can laugh at ourselves a bit. The more serious-minded should go to other (there are plenty of them and all here are serious enough about safety when we go there) threads, while we lay back here and... what's that csx?...lol?...me too.
Oh, no!!! Please no more locustsIII
If you and Kevin could act your age(s) then Doggy may avoid your Path of Perdition!!!
Guess I'll have to help my sponsor with this stuff and I hope he won't tell me to CSMO!!!
Fire Base Casey, can you bring in a little Pee down here, we're packing six bags and hardware items from the motor pool and mailing 'em down the slope!!!
Mookie, if you'd been a fly on the wall in that B&B we'd have to go back, move the clock hand forward, and wake you up. Fill you in later on the spicy parts.

It's true, Although I was beginning to Think Railfix was a nice guy, when he deals me a knife in my back

-oh, how very kind Mr. Railfix.

Now, Mr. Railfix, I know that you mentioned my name in your extremely incoherante response, that was filled with garbage..

So what is it you don't like about my spelling then Mr. Railfix?

If you think i'm going to change it for you, your sadly mistaken.

Unions were definitely a necessity when they first came about. However, one of the main union organizers in the early days was a gentleman named Eugene Debs. He had a one word motto that has probably caused more ill feelings toward unions than anything else - "More."

Today's unions indeed range from unnecessary to crucial. They do provide a voice for the "common worker," and in that capacity ensure that management doesn't run rampant over labor. On the other hand, union management (an oxymoron?) sometimes seems as out of touch as management. Sometimes even more so.

I'm sure everyone has examples of how a union is/was a good thing or a bad thing. We could run a lengthy thread on the topic (let's not). As long as there are workers who feel they deserve better, there will be unions. If the union and management both keep level heads and negotiate in good faith, then things usually go smoothly. If they are antagonistic, well....

Now I work for myself and could not be happier.
CSX if you want to go have a hoot pack it in. Things got way out of
hand and it is to bad that the railways waited until something had to happen.
But thats the only way the railway will ever change things.
I seen many things in my years working for the railway if you dont like it do something
about it.Rule G is here to stay so get over it.

I don't support the Unions becuase they don't work. lets use this not working example look at the Amtrak Chicago Diesel People they delayed the Westbound California Zeypher of Saturday(27) due di not having enough Locomotives also they can't fix things right Grandma could do it better maybe me and CSX could fix it boy would we get trains out ontime

I guess Unions are a bad idea if you like low wages, no benefits, no say over work hours, no say over work load, time off , no vacation pay, no sick pay, and if you really hate havin a 5 day, 40 hr work week and would just love to go back the them Good Ol' Days of 12 hr shifts 6 or 7 days a week no hloidays and even just speak and get fired days of yesteryear, then Yes, Unions are a bad idea.

Almost everything we take for granted nowadays was fought over and won by Unions.

   Have fun with your trains

CSX I have never worked for min wage and I would not expect anyone who
works for me to get paid min wage.
I pay $ 25 per hour or if I need a rider to do a move we do by rail
our rider will get paid around 4000- 5000 plus expenses.10 day trip.
Treat your workers well thats how I see it.
And as as said Unions are stll crap.They were a good thing years ago
now they are a tool for the lazy man to hide behind when they screw up.
That why we paid are union to dues is for them to get us better wages etc,
