Social Tip #156 - Fight For Your Rights

I met a serviceman before he was sent off on his second tour of Iraq. I asked him why he got into the Army, he said, "I would rather die for my country than stay here to work for minimum wage."

Apparently $7.25 an hour is worth dying for, it's just not worth working for.

The military should pull recruits directly out of the low-paying retail and restaurant workforce, nothing motivates prejudice more than failure to tip.

Social Tip #67 - Friendly Protest

I work for a "World Government Agency" now. I can't say much about it, including the name of the place I am working for, but I will tell you that I am giving the "thumbs up" sign in my picture on my identification card. And not just because I am excited to work there, but because it is an offensive gesture to Iranians, Iraqis and Australians, and now that I work for some serious shit it is time I got some political opinions.

Fuck those guys. The Iranian-Iraqi-Australian desert conflict has gone on long enough.
