Which is better minimum wage or minimum income?

we were having this discussion in the office the other day and we came to the conclusion minimum wage is better because it still adds to the economy vs minimum income which someone could potentially stay at home and do nothing and still get paid without producing a thing for the greater economy.. thoughts?.

It's like asking people how they want to die.

" You want to get shot - or slit your throat " ? Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Neither. Better wage and better income is what people need

i thought this video was pretty well done and mildly entertaining to watch.. on another note, i am really hoping some clever ex-jws will do their own animation series with caleb and sophia as young adults trying to leave the org.

that would be awesome.

Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?

so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.

now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.

we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

flipper

DING- Exactly. I agree.

DUBSTEPPED - Yeah, I'm sure some of the video is of the WT video, but it seems like whoever produced it also spliced, or inserted other video right within the filming of it. I'm more of a music production guy- not a film guy- so I don't know how they did it, but it appears they did this- I think

XANTHIPPE- I would send your sister a text message telling her you are concerned for her health and very sorry to hear she has had a heart attack- perhaps adding if there is anything you can do that you are there.

Here's the thing- your sister or her JW relatives might not appreciate your caring thoughts- but you will look back with NO REGRETS and feel better about yourself showing real human empathy and caring. Your conscience will be clear and you'll be able to sleep good at night- knowing YOU did the right thing- no matter what your JW family does.

How they respond to your message isn't the important thing- how you respond to your sister's heart attack by showing care IS the important thing as it shows them that you are mature enough to rise above the JW family differences. This is how I dealt with my older elder JW dad in his final 6 months who I was not that close to, just called to see how he was doing, no drama- just show a caring attitude. Don't let them entrap you into JW debates- it's not important when life and death issues are at stake. My 2 cents here, I'm sorry about your sister, hang in there, sincerely, Flipper

CoCo- This is totally a satire on the JW video- produced most probably by an EX-JW to get people thinking. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
