No, I admire you for it.

I have worked as a groundskeeper somewhat as I used to mow yards for a living.

Then by all means, give me a few examples of ones I've missed that would count as "blue collar".

I look forward to your reply.

I'll take that kind of ignorance any day over your bellicose truthiness and pretensions to expertise through narcissism.

You think so? You want the list?

In no particular order:

1) dishwasher

2) McDonalds

3)security guard

4) mechanic

5) truck driver

6) warehouse worker

7) production line

8) customer service rep

9) car salesman

10) maintenace worker

11) auto parts counterman

12) forklift driver

13) grocery store clerk

14) construction worker/electrical helper

I've probably left out a few, but that should cover most of them.

"But I've learned a lot via the school of hard knocks & have worked 99% of the blue collar jobs out there, unlike many of the handwringers posting in here."

How in the world can that possibly be anything other than a glib and massive exaggeration, to the point of nonsense? Do you share the problem of many politicians--no longer being able to tell manifestly false rhetoric from rhetorically useful truth?

I wish my dates thought that............
Posted by bobsguns]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:19:16 -0500 Nashville Scene >My first job was picking cherries at age 13. Beat that.<<

Easily.

I was mowing yards with a pushmower @ 13 & later ALL of the homeowners switched to riders (due to the yard size) when I took normal jobs @ 16.

I've washed dishes, loaded trucks in the TN summer heat, worked in freezers with frozen foods, built guardrails on the interstate in the TN summer & a host of other shit.

But my farm work is one reason I would never judge the work ethic of migrant farmers.

You're adorable when you're exaggerating and also wrong.

My first job was picking cherries at age 13. Beat that.

I've never said it was "everyone's" experience, thankyouverymuch.

But I've learned a lot via the school of hard knocks & have worked 99% of the blue collar jobs out there, unlike many of the handwringers posting in here.

Nor do I propose to be an "expert" on things I have virtually NO experience at all with, unlike many liberals.

Wow! Talk about your oxymorons!
Posted by bobsguns]]> Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:07:05 -0500 Nashville Scene >But it can pay them a fair wage.<<

A) Who is to determine what's a "fair" wage if not the marketplace?

B) If I don't like what I'm paid for what I do, I can find another job doing something else & make more $. Why can't someone else?

"Blaming other people on your troubles, even if true".

Gimme a break.
Posted by bobsguns]]> Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:04:08 -0500 Nashville Scene >Ain't no Republican Blacks!<<

Tell that to Avon Williams III, prominent attorney, son of Avon Williams, Jr.

There's boatloads of conservative blacks, many of whom face the social stigma of what you just proposed with ridiculing them.

Define "social change", please.
