1. They pushed the wrong button today.

   skaosiris replied to WyomingRN's topic in Activism

   I don't actually give much consideration to the telemarketers because they chose their jobs and damn well know what it means to be a telemarketer and how much it offends and annoys many people. I mean this is very widely understood--telemarketers are...

2. We Are the Majority

   skaosiris replied to WyomingRN's topic in Activism

   Hi, Okay, lets see. We are definitely the richest country in the world, but we are NOT the most educated. In most other industrialized countries, usually, the citizens can speak more than one language--we cannot even get half of our population...

3. Actual Article: "Socialized Health-Care Nightmare"

   skaosiris replied to kitkat24's topic in Activism

   I actually can't believe you are a nurse. I fail to see how somebody as dogmatic and judgemental as you can give equitable nursing care to all who come through your door. Or do you only look after the conservatives? Nursehardie by the way (aka Joe S...

4. Labor Department Advises Employers How to Avoid Paying Overtime

   skaosiris replied to -jt's topic in Activism

   WyomingRN, I agree with just about everything you said, especially about the government having to abide by the laws. I just think in this instance, it is pointless. Everyone in Ohio thinks they are a state and all the states immediately surroun...

5. Who are the Uninsured?

   skaosiris replied to kitkat24's topic in Activism

   Kitkat, Ofcourse I read your post--I would not have missed it for the world. Seriously, I read it and I am glad that you wrote it. I am glad you wrote it mainly because you demonstrated some degree of concern for people in general. And you ar...

6. Who are the Uninsured?

   skaosiris replied to kitkat24's topic in Activism

   In this case, it isn't the government that is mostly responsible for our jobs going overseas, it is the usual greedy conservative business heads that are the cause. BTW, Walmart is a HUGE offender in this area. Companies have chosen to do this of t...

7. Labor Department Advises Employers How to Avoid Paying Overtime

   skaosiris replied to -jt's topic in Activism

   Other than being fun in a Trivial Pursuit game I can't imagine why the "Ohio Connection" is anything at all to worry about. Just about every person on the planet accepts that it is a state. So someone messed up either intentionally or not and now i...

8. Universal Healthcare

   skaosiris replied to Chellyse's topic in Activism

   Hi Kitkat and all, Okay, lets see. Kitkat, in my limited knowledge of the phrase "bible thumper", I consider it to mean "one who forces religion down your throat". I do not think you did that and I did not ever call you that--I only mentioned ...

9. Universal Healthcare

   skaosiris replied to Chellyse's topic in Activism

   hi, kitkat, My patients ARE NOT customers and I will never ever see them as such because that would mean reducing their level of importance to money! Who ever suggested to you that I or anyone else would work for free? Your limited black and whit...

10. Universal Healthcare

    skaosiris replied to Chellyse's topic in Activism

    Hi, Kitkat I understand that taxpayers should not have to pay for something for which they do not approve. I, for one, can't stand the fact that my taxes are higher because some big business receives tax breaks for some ungodly reason. Anyway,...

11. Universal Healthcare

    skaosiris replied to Chellyse's topic in Activism

    There is something missing from some people's financial analysis of universal healthcare ( or any other service or business). This point is usually missed more by the right. I am not trying to have a democrat vs republican thing happen here, but it...

    skaosiris replied to kitkat24's topic in Activism

    reply to nurses and politics Hi, Kitkat and All. Being compelled to interject again. I am a nursing assistant and a medical assistant who thinks often about what would be best for the world, so this thread, ofcourse, interested me. You mentioned tha...

14. Emphasis on caring or personal gain?

    skaosiris replied to oregonvolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    Ceecel.dee, I agree with your entire post, except, unfortunately, I think that in many other areas in the States, the 'average joe" does not think nurses should be making that much. I find it nauseating that that pro sports players and celebreities...

15. who are these people?

    skaosiris replied to KLS's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, everyone. First off--who generates these great diverse round face icons? they're very cool. Anyway, i wanted to be sure I understood what everyone was saying about "trolls". Please forgive me if I've misunderstood, but it seems like several p...
