Wisconsin teachers, arguably the subject of the thread, are prohibited by law from going on strike. [...]
They are not prohibited by law. They are prohibited by contract. [...]
I was going to say 'there's one in every crowd', but in this case their appears to be two.Not being protected by the law, is not the same as being prohibited. [...]
Teacher strikes were illegal in Wisconsin under the 1971 bargaining law (111.70) that mandated good-faith bargaining on both sides of the table.

Child’s Play: Wisconsin Teachers Recruit Their Students to Save Union Jobs - By Christian Schneider - The Corner - National Review Online
For some, it's all they ever had.Translation: "I got burned by my own silly comments, now I'm resorting to insults, because it's all I have left"Delusion and strawmen do not masquerade well as argument. Nor does an inability to follow a conversation. FYI.I don't need to re-learn history to know that when you thought Walker was toast, it was Democracy in action and it was beautiful. Now, when things didn't go your way, you claim it's "mob rule", and not good.Might want to do a little historical reading on the founders reasoning in choosing a representative form of government for the country, versus 'direct democracy'. Or not :shrug:When the voters don't vote your way, it's "mob rule"?No. Or at least not necessarily. You overlook three obvious problems with your support of mob rule:And if that is what the voters voted for, twice in this instance, then that was the right thing to do, no?
1. That the mob (voters) know what they are doing (or are knowledgeable/intelligent in their actions).
2. That, according to exit polls, some Walker supporters were voting against the circumstances of the recall rather than voting to support Walker's actions.
3. The founding fathers were opposed to mob rule (direct democracy, which you are arguing supports Walker's actions). [...]

Public employee strikers were illegal under the 1971 law that required good faith bargaining but did not force compliance.
Good Lord... from your own link:Not so fast there monkey boy. It would appear the certainty is not so...certain:
Public workers prepare for strike, but experts disagree on lawfulness of action -- GazetteXtra
What's next? A claim by the right that is debatable whether the Earth is flat, or that the Sun orbits the Earth? :roll: What drives the right to fanatically pursue a losing argument to the point of total absurdity?Strikes by public employees are illegal in Wisconsin [...]
The argument is too stupid to address. Even the teachers union says that strikes are illegal. But hey, why not -- I'll agree that the earth is flat, just to prevent more absurdity.[...] If compliance is not forced for laws then there might as well be no law. [...]

I'm not interested in your opinions, especially when they state the obvious. You made an error, I corrected it, and now you are upset and therefore trying to bait me.[...] I find it amusing that you ignored that part of my post. Why did you ignore it? Are you trying to deny reality? [...]

Have a nice evening :2wave:

What. Direction. Are. You. Looking. At. It. From?
and now another question....which one of those words or series of words do you need explained?
The teachers calling in sick to go protest is an opinion? So you actually believe that they were sick? That many teachers? All at once on the same day? That none of them went to protest?
Funny stuff!
Yep - remember the "blue flu" of years gone by? :lamo
You must have been one of the most popular union reps ever in jersey history :lamo:lamo:shock:
Red herrings usually are. They smell funny too :2razz:[...] Funny stuff!
Towards politicians. This was not difficult and has nothing to do with a nose. Your insult side track seem to indicate something completely different. I had no idea you didn't see the obvious. Sorry. :shrug:
