FYI, I have TWO jobs! One offers medical insurance to me, but not to my chosen beneficiary. I pay out of my own pocket to insure my beneficiary. Even if married, one can not and should not expect their employers and the government to do everything for them.
Maybe that's why you have to work TWO jobs. Employers shouldn't expect their employees to work for peanuts. It's call the free market, and that's why those with marketable skills do not expect, but rather demand adequate compensation. I don't expect the gov't to do everything for me, but they unreasonably expect that I should have to give them a high percentage of every single paycheck.

Listen, Meat Head. I worked a single job for fourteen years and never had any problems at all paying my bills, including the additional insurance. I had also in the same period gathered up quite a substantial savings account that can pay all of my bills for well over a year without any job at all. I built my own safety net. My second job is strictly for gathering more capital for investment purposes. Either one of my two jobs alone is more than adequate for paying my bills. Ask me about my marketability and I'll be more than happy to point out that my second employer did not even have a position open when I arrived there. They had no intention of hiring anybody until I showed up. Then, they MADE a position for me. It's because I did not go in there whining about my "needs". I went there telling them what I can DO for THEM.

An Employer is not a Santa Clause clone and must not be expected to behave like one. Employers tend to pay people what they are worth to them.

So, what do you call "adequate"? Let's just give the lady who folds sweaters at Wal-Mart $600,000 a month and use the insurance policy to cover everything from her children to her thirty seven cats and her nine boy friends. No employer's pocket is without a bottom. It has limits, just as yours and mine do. An employer will either pay what he can afford or just simply go out of business.

And yet this employer who loves you so much isn't giving you some kind of health insurance package? The way you talk, it's pretty clear your two jobs suck. A good job offers health benefits. Here in Canada, where lots of our health care is free, employers offer drug and dental plans if they want to woo people.

I appear to be worth health benefits. You appear to NOT be worth health benefits. Therefore, judging by your own terms, I am worth more than you. But we already knew that.

Does repeating this to yourself over and over allow you to sleep at night? "Yes, I get paid a lousy salary, but my employers couldn't pay me more or they'd go out of business. I have to eat warm gravel and drink piss and he eats pheasant and drinks wine, but damn it, that's just the way it is." Ha ha! Loser. Your president just declared war on gays. Apparently two men or two women getting married is an act of terrorism. I expect the gays will be rounded up soon, and put in the same camps as the arabs. Your country sucks right now. Come to Canada and smoke legalized pot and marry another man. Nik http://www.nikart.ca

I envy you the society that gives you those freedoms, but don't envy you those particular freedoms. My country's going through a bad patch, no question, but the civil liberties we have been careless enough to put in jeopardy now, are ones we'll be willing to struggle someday to regain, just because we think we're worth it. We just need to learn a lesson a lot of Islamic countries need even more to learn: don't put the religious whackos in charge, things all go sour for the ordinary citizen when you do. xanthian. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

You really have no f*cking clue what you are talking about. I didn't ask for health insurance from my second job. I was offered insurance from my second job, but turned it down because I don't want a conflict of interests between the two insurance companies. I've already been through that nonsense when I lived in California. Second, my second job is only part time, but I take home just as much from it as I do from my full time trash hauling job. No employer's pocket is without a bottom. It has limits, just as yours and mine do. An employer will either pay what he can afford or just simply go out of business.

Oh? and you think I don't eat filet mignon, rack of lamb or caviar? I've been eating that stuff for as long as I worked in the casino as a trash hauler. My second employer will send me to Wyoming this summer, all expenses paid.
Ha ha! Loser.
A guy has to start at least some place. Having spent fourteen years as a trash hauler might seem dumb to you, but most employers are looking for stability, reliability and a willingness to get the job done. Had I chosen that long ago to simply lay on my ass and do nothing, my new job would never have been more than a mere wish of mine. Nobody wants to hire a lazy guy who is always getting booted and kicked from one job to the next. Nobody wants to hire quitters and other low-lifes who just give up on jobs when the going gets rough.

Gays are not terrorists. Gays are simply trying to rip off their employers or the tax payers.

So, besides your previous evidence of racisim and a glory in bashing the downtrodden, your homophobic self rears its ugly little penis shaped head as well. I was sure all we had to be was patient. It isn't even so much that "you really are that ignorant", that has us all in complete awe of you, Dan Sempsey, it's more that you compress such an amazing variety of ignorances into that single tiny space between your ears. xanthian. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

Taking half-eaten food out of the garbage can doesn't count.

Dear lord. Be a little more selfish. Yes, an employer appreciates all the qualities you mention, but what about YOUR needs? You seem overly concerned with what your bosses think to the point where you're not even considering what you want.

No, I'm talking about getting served in places like The Ram's Head Inn, The Knife and Fork Inn and Savaradio. I have my choice of any gourmet restaurant in this nation. Nik

I'd say you were standing too close to the mirror when you post, only I'm not convinced there's any part of you, Dan, that's still human. "Dungeon of a mind" is right on target, though. I wonder if some essence of the brain you fried is still back there, cursing you mutely at the top of its voice, 24x7? Astri's successfully raising a kid and a mutt in what most people consider the garden spot of America. You are hauling trash in what most people, at least the politer ones, consider an armpit of America. Why is is so easy for everyone but you to locate the origin of that screaming you keep hearing, night and day? xanthian. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

Seems you'd want to know the names of a few of them, then. Hint, local beaneries don't count. xanthian. Hint 2: based on my experience, The Trellis, Antoine's, and The Lowell Inn all deserve their reputations. There's a reason I had to diet off 55 pounds. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

no, more likely that the humanity in me screams in agony when it comes into contact with your blighted pollution of my screen. there's only so much ignoring i can do. don't worry, i'll soon go back to giving you the (lack of) response you deserve. -- astri

So, you like those places. Well I can fly there and eat there. How much was the highest price meal you ate there? I can pay for myself and ten more to eat it with me. And no, you can't get into the Ram's Head without a reservation and an up to date suit to wear. Average service for two is $250.

You even pretend to judge the quality of a restaurant by how much the meal costs, having no other esthetic senses? That is just so _you_. astri is right. And those folks at the Ram's Head know there's a Sempsey born every minute, obviously. xanthian. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

You're bragging about being able to go to a nice restaurant. Of all the idiotic things I have seen people brag about, this comes close to being the most absurd. Are you aware of how insecure this makes you look? "I'm not a loser! I'm well off! Here, let me proove it to you!" Oh dear, thinks the reader. He really is a loser. Why else would he spend so much time trying to convince us he's not a loser? Hope this helps. Nik http://www.nikart.ca

And, aren't you the guy who just accused me of taking half eaten food out of a dumpster? You're confusing me with Kent. The food I eat is fresh and paid for.
