    Walkers bill limits what the union can collective bargain on. There will be no end to the union and they will still be able to collectively bargain on wages. It also changes the rule that if you are a public employee in a position that is unionized that you have to join the union. It will be up to the individuals choice whether or not to join. Right now you are forced to join the union.

    You still didn't answer the question per usual.

    Why are you so scared of me? Why can't you act like a grown man, and answer questions directly?

    Seriously, are all you liberal socialist like this. You only answer a question with a question? They union rep made a statement. Why can't you just stick with that issue? Why would you need to deflect the conversation about chinese parts?

    Ok, serious question. What union made Erbium Doped Amplifers are made in the USA? If you don't know, or not intelligent enough to answer, then that makes you a POS liar. But the board is waiting to see what kinda fellow you. Your up.

    Scared? Please! maybe if you send 1/2 dozen Chinese dudes after me :ninja:
    I am inteligent enough to know you left the word "Fiber" out of your product description, what does that make you. LOL

    A little something just for you.
    First they came for the Socialists and I did not speak out,
    because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I did not speak out,
    because I was not a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out,
    because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me,
    and there was no one left to speak for me!

    Thats all fine and dandy, but you still are dodging. And yes, clearly scared to talk to me about the topics at hand. Your like a bird. You fly by, poop on people, and run. Now, some would refer to that as a coward or scared.

    You don't see Joe (bowhuntingfool) dodging questions. He's proud union and hard worker and honest man. Time and time again, he would sit here and respectfully answer folks questions intelligently. Sure he let emotion come into it sometimes, but always left friends with folks. You know why? He's a man, that is having conversations like a man.

    You don't see Jeff, or Schutzy. Most of them welcome the chance to debate or discuss. What does this say about you?

    I will straight up answer any questions you have about why I bought what I did and why. And no, you don't have to put fiber in that description. Only someone totally ignorant of fiber optics transmissions would need whole description. But maybe I gave you too much credit. I will attempt to dumb down the language for you alone and speak very slow.

    Did you find union made EDFA's? Or were you dishonest.

    You don't seem to grasp my view of unions. I am a fan of a union and its concept on safety. What I am not a fan of is, the view that goverment should give them handouts, with threats of thuggery. Or hurting or killing a man, for doing what he has too to keep his family alive.

    Figure out yourself. Remember perception is reality. In their world they are fighting for what they view as their right.

    I'm sure everyone has noticed you have had to start name calling again. I expect nothing less from you. And I dont mind going there, but then I'm not one you will see quoting the Bible around here.

    You make a blanket statement that union people are stupid, and want me to answer a question out of it? Who's stupid?

    I don't poop on people, they make their own little Chit ponds and then wade out into it, right now your up to your neck, I'm just the one pointing out your standing in it.

    I understand at one time there were TV's, Radio's, and hundreds of other products made in this country, but no longer because some choose child labor in other country's, over neighbors and their familys.

    Trust me, I know all I need to know about EDFA's to get me through this life time.

    A big fan of the union indeed, funny thing is not one thing you have said up till now supports that.
    :lmao:Tell me now, what union workers do you think are getting a hand out. Carpenders. Electricians, Millrights, Boilermakers, Bricklayers, Ironworkers, Policemen, Firemen, Teachers, Nurses, the list goes on. Your beyond Ignorant!

    I do belive you might be more educated than me, there is no doubt in my mind you have a Doctrine in Dumb Ass!

    Take your pick, one being true and beyond dispute, the other being a degree.

    What does this even mean?

    Is it really that hard to answer a simple question?

    Your right. I should have used Doctorate. It would have been far less confusing for you.

    Thanks for the reply Gary. I guess we see this different which Is perfectly fine. As a business owner myself I know how tough times can hurt a business. I have one full time employee. He, his wife and 2 kids have their health Insurance through my business. Up until last year I was paying 75% of his family's health Insurance premiums. My premiums went through the roof In July of last year when I renewed the contract. I talked with him and told him I have no choice to start taking more out of his check. He was perfectly fine with It as he knew I was giving him and his family a great deal.

    Tough times are tough times.This Is reality Gary, I don't care If It's a union job or not. Shouldn't matter In the least when times get tough.

    For me????? By definition Doctrine is a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the body of teachings in a branch of knowledge or belief system

    So his Doctrine in Dumb Ass is nothing more than a belief in stupidity, yet you say bigcountry might be more educated than you?

    Now I understand why you can't see the correlation between all the polls I posted. Many were regarding what Walker was doing to balance the budget by your account, yet what he is doing to remove collective bargaining in itself is the primary driver behind his current budget reductions. Perhaps it will become his "Doctrine" to state fiscal success;)
