If you go though old posts dating back to many moons ago, in this
amateur newsgroup--and others, you can easily see there is a very defined class system to amateur radio. What may not be openly apparent is that this is a multi-class system. Now, on the surface of it all, one is lead to believe this class system relates directly to the class of license an amateur holds--his knowledge, overall abilities, personality, intelligence, etc. Yet, some within this class system have, and just below its' surface, implemented a secondary class of class system. This secondary class system relates directly to an individuals ability to produce a system of taps on a device able to key a transmitter, it is more motor skills based than any other skill I can possibly relate it to (like how well one can skate, hula-hoop, hop-scotch, play jacks, hum a tune, etc.), perhaps better viewed, in the light, as someone capable of rubbing his head and patting his stomach with few errors in implementation of the actions and done at a good speed. This secondary system seems to make no note or make considerations of other skills or knowledge which a ham possesses into consideration. Indeed, a severely limited autistic person who had a gift for such tapings, and at least a minimal ability to communicate by verbal speech and text (brag in speech and text?), would reign as king and be supreme leader (worshiped?) In such a class a sheer idiot can brag of genius (and frequently seem to do so.) When one reads and understands the premise, goals and purpose that amateur radio was first established on, its' charter, it can be seen this class system runs in a perpendicular direction and fashion to the original purpose(s.) Interesting, and more a statement to human nature, in my humble viewing and assessment, than it can possibly be related to anything else, wouldn't you agree? And, when brought to this light of day and viewed in its' entirety, it stands rather small in scope, would you not agree, again? Some see this as a rather shallow endeavor and are amused by it. Others seem to poke fun at it in satire. To others, such behavior is disgusting and revolting to their intelligence, would you deny them their opinions? Regards, JS |

Regards, JS It's not unwritten policy, it's life. Those that work hardest get most. Unfortunately, a lot of people want only one class. A CB'er like class. You shouldn't have to work for anything, Just like liberalism and the democrats. Those that work hardest get the fruits of their labor punished, those that don't get welfare and handouts. SC |

SC Are you that ****ing stupid and simplistic? Here's just one point, and of course, as usual, you'll have no legitimate reply: Minimum wage. The GOP states that if the minimum wage is increased, the cost of everything will rise. Probably so. Of course keeping it low means that things will cost less, right? Let me see, if we give people a wage that they can live on, we'll have less people getting welfare, right? Sure, the cost of a hamburger may go up, but then again, I don't actually need a hamburger, so I can live with that. And the taxpayers will be getting a break in the form of less people on welfare. That benefits me and you, right. Stick with me here SC, I know this thinking for yourself stuff is hard for you, but I'll try to take it SLOW. These same people will have more cash to spend, so that helps the economy, right? So, if you and I benefit from an increase in minimum wage, who loses? Well, it appears big business does, doesn't it? They are the ones reaping the benefits of low labor costs, while at the same time raping you and I because their employees cannot sustain themselves because of an artificially low labor cost. This is just one point, SC. I know you're out of your league debating, but do you care to try to dispel this fact? |

I know you're out of your league debating, but do you care to try to dispel this fact? well small busness hurts more in mimium wage hike than big Busness Big bussness being big has more ways of writing of anf otherwise sticking the reuslts of the wage increase to Goovt and derectly to rest of us than small bussness Not saying I am opposed to rasing the wage but and that done with care it certainly can be good for the economy but your detail are off Tom Again, you prove my contention that you are indeed a moron. If small business cannot afford to pay minimum wage, then I don't want to subsidize them either. They need to find another line of work, or go to work for someone that can afford to pay minimum wage. Yes, things will cost more. BFD, people will make more, and fewer people will choose to sit on their asses and hold their hands out. |

And to think I just thought you were a tiny little ****-ant, I see you're a whiney ass liberal now too. Get the government out of the way. Let the market place decide what the wage will be for any job. If someone wants a job with better pay they need to compete for it. That would also imply making an effort to better yourself, so you're better than the person that is also competing for the job. And if anyone don't work, they don't eat. It's called taking responsibility for yourself. Democrats create victims and nurture the notion that government is the only thing that can take care of you. SC |
