  1. Very fair, loading the question with the either/or nonsense. It's very telling when someone does stuff like that. I'll play anyway.

     

     

    No, Obama is not a real Marxist. Acknowledging that there are differences in America between rich and poor, black and white, religion A and religion B, does not automatically make you a Marxist. Somebody wanting the gov't to provide some services for the general welfare of the citizens who support it doesn't make you a Marxist either.

     

    I've read a bit about BLT. It's doesn't seem any more crazy than any other Christian stuff. They don't seem any more scary to me than the white religious right in this country. Frankly, I think the problem many people have with it is when they call Jesus a black guy(as if that would matter somehow). I don't think Obama believes it all lock stock and barrel just like I doubt anybody REALLY buys into all of the dogma of any religion. Besides, the President doesn't act in a void, that's why we have three branches of the gov't and a little thing people call checks and balances. I doubt anything too outrageous would get enacted even if he was a nut considering the majority of the rest of the gov't are white guys.

     

     

     

    By the way, for anybody who looks up BLT, please read a few different links about it since the first one Google shows is "The Marxist Roots of Black Liberation Theology" from the Action Institute who are bunch of Libertarian Christians with a comical misunderstanding of American ideals and the Constitution. Read that one but take the time to read some from a less biased and less paranoid nutbag based source.

  2. Kepone you have to learn to not give a f*ck what everybody else thinks. Let them pass all the judgement they want. You know who you are. Someday, you'll have a better job because of your education and desire to better yourself and they will still work the same job trying to make their miserable little lives better by making up shit about the kid who picked up cans.

     

    Screw 'em, their opinion means nothing.

  3. Many jobs are like that. If someone can be replaced for the same or cheaper, the company would rather push out the established person who wants more dough. Companies lose a lot of good people that way but they have a bottom line too. If they feel they get the job done on the cheap, why pay more?

     

    You're employed now so start looking for something else. That way, you have money coming in and maybe you'll find something better. It's a lot easier than just walking out the door with nothing to fall back on if it takes some time to find something.

  4. Your boss is right. You need to find the oil leak to fix this. Starters will fail if they get soaked in oil. Replacing it will only fix the car temporarily until the new starter gets soaked in oil. Depending on the car, the oil leak could be something as simple as a poorly installed oil filter or loose pan plug. Even if it was valve covers, on most cars that's not that big of a deal to get done. Clean the engine, make sure you have the correct amount of oil and start the car. Let it run for a while and see if you can spot the leak. It's tough sometimes because oil can drip and run from place to place on engine so it could look like it's coming from one spot but in reality it's another.

     

    Head gaskets are different story. Some cars aren't worth fixing when those go. Good luck with it.
