corporate culture

The way things are done in upper management in corporate America including their policies, procedures, values, beliefs, rules, and the way they treat and value their employees. It is almost an underworld where arrogance, overpay, and lack of concern for the “lower” employees is the norm. Often times, people in corporate America will sell their soul to the devil himself in their quest for power and money, and will do anything to climb the corporate ladder. Corporate America only cares about its own interests and has no concern for the “lesser” employees. It will make you think your job is secure and then lay you off without warning if it saves the company 10 cents. It will give you a pay cut, but then raise its own salary. Basically, it’s a world of liars, thieves, and hypocrites.

Corporate culture is not so good to the rest of us who work paycheck to paycheck.

Columbus

The capital and largest city of Ohio and for some reason, is the 16th largest in the U.S. It is a nice place to live but this college town suffers form a low profile and hardly any identity (at least Cleveland has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Its known for absolutely nothing, except the Buckeyes of Ohio State University, one of the largest universities in the United States.

What the heck is in Columbus?

Fishers

A fast growing “town” in Hamilton County, Indiana with a population of some 66,000 in 2007 and a nice, upper middle-class suburb of Indianapolis. Many Hoosiers mistakingly believe Fishers and its neighbor, Carmel are rich and envy their residents for some reason. It is no doubt a very nice and growing community, but the truth is that there are tons of similar-sized communities around the country with way more money than Fishers could ever dream about, making it only an upper middle-class community. It’s not even the richest community in the Midwest by a long shot. I have lived in Indiana most of my life and don't undertsand all the animosity towards Fishers and its neighbor of Carmel.

Hoosiers have no reason to be envious of Fishers because it is only an upper middle-class community. Many Hoosiers including the other yahoo on here posting derogatory definitions of Fishers are jealous of its perceived wealth because they have no life of their own, but yet enough time on their hands to insult those who have worked for a living to obtain what they have. How jealous and childish. If your life sucks, then change it.

propaganda

Persuasion using, lies, “fuzzy” math, and manipulation. Replacing the truth with lies. Creating truth rather than voicing it. What the biased media uses to “report” the news and persuade you. What has replaced traditional education in the public schools and universities in this country, and based on assumptions and hypothesis rather than truth.

Propaganda is what the liberals, politicians, and the media like to use to convince you that the war in Iraq is over oil or that George W. Bush is "evil" or that 9-1-1 was a government conspiracy---all hogwash crap based on crap.

Civil War

the war that occurred in the United States during the 1860s under President Abraham Lincoln that caused the highest number of casualties than any American war. It was a war between the North (the Union) and the South (the Confederacy) that centered around slavery—the North wanted it abolished while the South permitted it for economic reasons. The central issue of slavery began to divide the country in the 1840s as members of Congress bickered over the issue and as new states entered the Union. When a new “free” state entered the union, a new slave state was required do the same to create a balance. It even divided certain states themselves-- Missouri and Virginia, by which West Virginia seceeded from it after the war.

The war began shortly after Abe Lincoln became President in 1861 when the Confederacy attacked the Union's Fort Sumter, South Carolina—allegedly by mistake--and didn’t end until 1865 when Confederacy General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Commander Ulysses S. Grant in Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. The Battle of Anteitem was the deadliest battle of the War. Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis should have all been hung afterwards for being a traitor to the United States, in my opinion.

The Civil war was the bloodiest war in American history and a very sad chapter in American history.

al capone

A mobster and the real man who ran Chicago in the 1920s. Perhaps the best known gangster in American history. He was guilty of prostitution, illegal gambling, racketeering and ultimately, tax evasion, which led to his incarceration in Alcatraz. He died in prison of syphilis.

If Al Capone would have stuck it out a little longer, he would made a good politician.
