airline

A transportation company that is supposed to get you from one coast to the other in a a few hours but is permitted by the FAA and Dept. of Transportation to abuse its customers by trapping them for hours at a time on the ground without access to water, snacks, or a bathroom; and losing your expensive baggage--only to return it to you weeks later and in bad condition; not to mention having seats that are dangerously narrow and if a person is fat, they have to buy an extra seat; and the aircraft's operator is drunk.

The airline lives up to its reputation--it doesn't matter wheather you are going to heaven or hell, you have to go through Chicago.

Fear Factor was disgusting and NBC should have pulled it off the air a long time ago.

bully

An insecure lowlife who gets a high abusing and intimidating smaller, weaker persons but will instantly put their tail between their legs and back down when confronted by dudes the same size as them or larger when karma comes to bite them in the ass.

The best way to defeat a bully is by confronting them. I did it in the 8th grade and beat the snot out of him. At that point, he/she either leaves you alone or stops being a bully alltogether. This proves that bullies are basically self-rightous, "hyped-up" wimps.

NAFTA

The North American Free Trade Agreement, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. It is likely the soul cause of employment oursourcing to Mexico exacterbating illegal immigration and the eroding of heavy manufacturing, especially the auto industry of the Rust Belt in the name of "cheap labor."

NAFTA is the worst mistake our government couuld have made because it resulted in thousands if not MILLIONS of Americans losing their jobs to Mexico for cheap labor.

San Jose

The capital of Silicon Valley. The nation's 10th largest city and 3rd largest in California. The city and its suburbs are home to more high-tech and web-based corporations than anywhere else in the United States including HP, Yahoo!, Google, Intel, Macintosh and Cisco. The city has a very high cost of living and is among America's most expensive to live. Although one of America's largest cities, it has a low crime rate and no skyscrapers but has a diverse population, traffic congestion and air pollution.

San Jose is nice if you make mega bucks working in its high-tech corporations but dam if you don't. San Jose would suck for me. I don't have a lot of money and can't stand diversity.
