Mr.Slacker:
You seem to want to completely ignore the problem here. While everybody else is losing huge bundles of cash and their lives are becoming a living hell, you seem to only care about missing school - of all things! You will get off for the holidays in, what, three days? Who the hell cares about my work? I don't quite understand the question, nor the context... however, if the MTA workers had any souls, THEY should care - along with caring for the other millions of people who were directly affected by this issue. And before you go criticizing peoples' education choices, I am not studying music at NYU, but instead am enrolled in a VERY exclusive department with under 100 kids in it a year, that I could only make AFTER going to MIT for two years to prove my academic abilities. Only the best can make it to where I am -- and I will not be humble about it, especially when we have uneducated (mostly) dopes working at the ticket stations, making pretty nice wages, who decide out of nowhere they should be treated like royalty and screw us all over!

-Why do you say that their jobs are admittedly crappy. Because they ARE. The majority of the workers who are on strike are those that would have worked the ticket booths, making anouncements, and cleaning the stations. They were not higher-ups or people with any kind of true management positions.
-Why do you say that if they wanted that if they wanted security, they should have gone to college. How do you know that some TWU employees didn't go to college. And a college education doesn't offer anymore security than a union job. I feel that union jobs offer more security, than many people who go through multiple years of college and then can't get a job. Believe me... an educated college graduate will not be working as a TWU employee as a full-time job. You'd have to be crazy or stupid - or both. It looks like more political-correctness ******** has once again made it through to this topic. Truly sad.
-Why are you stereotyping by calling people "low end MTA employees" Because that is how I decided to describe floor sweepers and ticket punchers that work for the TWU. They work low-end jobs at MTA.

Anger? Well, this could be expected when you have been royally screwed over by these low-lifed morons who took the strike. I was unable to get to any of my classes today due to this strike, and I have very important things to do which I would rather not discuss in detail. The point is that I have very important work to do, which concerns both my livelihood and my education, that have been severely mishapen because of the inaccessible subways. Saying that all my posts have anger in them is most likely an exaggeration. But even if this wasn't the case, I find it incredible how you are able to tell about somebody else's personality by merely reading their posts on a headphone message board. I am a passionate person - I also happen to post a lot of really HAPPY and POSITIVE things, when the mood is proper. It goes both ways. Hell, do you think I'd have any friends if I acted like how you describe in real life? Almost certainly not.

No, I am not arrogant. I see facts and reality, and then react based off of those feelings, instead of what the norm does - reacting before thinking. Do you REALIZE the situation we're being faced with? New Yorkers understand that this is a tough thing we're up against, and that it will take a lot of struggle and sacrifice in order to return back to normal. The effects of this strike will be pretty devastating, even though most people won't be able to see it. I reflect upon this reality first, and THEN show my feelings. You people jump to conclusions and react against anything slightly politically-incorrect, or anything demonstrated in that kind of a tone, and then route your uncaring words to others who truly have a grip on the issue. As some philosopher said, "It is gravely important to find both the faults in Gandhi and the strengths in Hitler." Otherwise, your perception of things will be clouded. Realizing that the MTA workers have such an important job, I find these acts of strike to be an insult against everybody. If they didn't want a job serving the public on such a large scale level, they SHOULD NOT have chosen a job with the TWU. End of discussion!
And yes, I am above these people. I haved worked my ass off for countless years to get where I am, and I will most likely end up being a much more successful individual on many counts than the strikers at MTA. Sure, there's acception to every statement out there, but in my current position, it's hard to even give an example where my overly egotistical statements can be proven incorrect. Should anybody care about my job? No, because I will almost definitely never end up working in a field where peoples livelihoods, jobs, or health, will depend on me. I will probably work in a much different field, one where there's a lot more money. The people who work at MTA, on the other hand, are REQUIRED by New Yorkers in order to function properly. EVERYBODY must care about their jobs. This is why I am so completely outraged by the strike - it is simply insulting on so many levels.
