No paited blond, please! Hehe... but seriously, Brat, are you serious with the wage over there nowadays? I remember in the early to mid 90's I got paid like 5.5 an hour while working at the computer lab. By the time I left the States, I thought it was already some 8 an hour. Is it the overall economic situation that causes this or is it that that place simply is of low cost-of-living?
And speaking of Liaoning, I only saw the trapping picture a moment ago. I'm not very excited about it though (both the plane and the carrier are of Russian origin)... not until I see a SAC/CAC 5th Gen. on Liaoning or a true China-made carrier coming out!
Well player, things in your home away from home are serious, Mr.BHOs healthcare plan will punish many small businesses who cannot afford to provide healthcare for their employees, larger employers such as for example, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc, etc, are cutting their full time employees back to 30hrs a week from 40hrs, in order to avoid the heavy boot of the IRS imposing those penalties and putting them out of business anyway. The healthcare act will take effect at midnight 12/31/12 as all the Bush era Tax cuts for everyone will expire at the same time, 23 million Americans are among the long term unemployed. I was fired from the three jobs I held at a for profit HOSPICE, Chaplain, Bereavement and Volunteer Coordinator positions, I was making 40,000 plus per year, and they hired a part time Chaplain, and a part time Volunteer/Bereavement Coordinator for whom they did NOT pay benefits. END OFF TOPIC
So thats not politics, thats life, but the Lord does provide, now back to the J-20, its a beautifull airplane and much to be proud of, as to your lack of same for the Liaoning and the J-15, I'm going to give you a gentleman's slap across each cheek with my flying gloves to get your attention: Now LISTEN UP, the Chinese Shipyard took a rusting, half finished piece of floating scrap and MADE an AIRCRAFT CARRIER out of her, she IS the FLAGSHIP of the PLAN, and she is gorgeous, she is classy and sweet, and for the Chinese Flankers, they are also gorgeous and sweet, that video of the Liaoning trapping her first J-15s is enough to make me proud, and the PLAN crew out there doing their FOD check together and walking the Deck, and trapping and launching those J-15s, well ask bd how you should feel about that, its great, and for the first time in my life, I am envious of the Chinese people and their many accomplishments, hard working, dedicated, commited to a better life. ONE more thing, if you had a new BMW or JAG or Camaro, you'de be proud of your new car, so BE proud of the PLAN, they've worked very hard to get here= good job, and congratualations, and keep working on your J-20, she will have her day as will the J-31, just be patient.
