You can just ignore the crazy posts. The moderator does a good job in starting new threads.

They are brilliant scientists and have their own reasons for wanting to stay.

The whole Constition is about 16 pages and the document is the rule book of what the government can't do. It is not a rule book to limit its citizens. Per the constitution each state is to have its form of representative government to establish laws. Federalism won in the civil war which expand power over the states. The final nail in the coffin of the states happened in 1913 when the admendment was passed for the populas of the state is allowed to vote for the senators instead of the states legislative body.The government you support and sing praise to has about 200,000 pages of rules and regulation and growing.<br />PHD you live off the Amerikan tax payer the same as the lady who gets the obama phone for free.

I would have...What a sad, pathetic, bitter person. I would have sympathy, but POS is so vile and repugnant in his hatred of all things that it is impossible to. I would, however, like to relate my own story as an example. I’m not sure how representative it is, because this is not the type of conversation that I have with my co-workers, but it might be.<br /><br />I am a Ph.D. scientist who works at the lab. Been there for about 15 years. Make a decent salary and enjoy my work because it is both exciting and important to the national interest. Are there things I would change about the lab? Absolutely. But, overall, it is a good place to work, with good projects and good co-workers. I wouldn’t say I would never leave the lab, but, for now, I am comfortable. If, for some reason, I am forced to or choose to leave the place, I am in a very good position to get another job.<br /><br />Earning a doctorate was an awesome move. Having a Ph.D. allows me to get a stable, high-paying job that allows me to be creative and direct my own work, rather than just being a peon. As someone earlier indicated, I don’t have any student loans from that because, in the sciences, they actually pay you to get a degree. I did have some loans from my undergraduate college, but those were relatively small and I paid them off a long time ago. I am a couple of years into a 15 year refi. I actually could pay off the mortgage tomorrow, if I had to. My house, like all houses in the country, lost value during the recent downturn, but I was never under water, and it has since increased past its peak.<br /><br />I also realize that government does important things, things that I am willing to pay for. To quote a document that many of us know by heart (POS might have to google it): the government exists to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity…” In any case, more than just funding the military. As an example, that iPhone that many of us have, and that POS is probably still saving up for, exists because of government funded research like the Internet, GPS, touch-screen technology, batteries, etc. But these are long-term things that require risk and thinking about a problem for a decent amount of time, not instant gratification that POS needs every time he soils his diaper.<br /><br />I get satisfaction in life by setting goals and trying to meet them. I don’t really spend much time comparing myself to others, but it is my wish that everyone around me, from the taxi driver taking me to the airport to the woman serving me coffee, do well and be able to support their family. POS seems to spend his life comparing dick size with everyone and coming up short.<br /><br />As they say, living well is the best revenge.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-86273222614279930842013-10-12T12:35:20.469-07:002013-10-12T12:35:20.469-07:00Kill the one who speaks the truth.

One still gets the vacation pay, except that it is distributed over 2 1/2 months instead of given all at once. More importantly, this increases the age factor, service credit, and HAPC. Free money."<br /><br />LOL! I see you've put some thought into tinkering with the system. If you have vacation time saved up when about to retire that certainly is the way to do it. Of course, building up 48 days of vacation leave (=2 1/2 months) in your example is equivalent to going without vacation for 2 years. So that big bank of 48 days of vacation does come at a price.
