Getting to YES : Negotiating Agreement Without Giving InRoger Fisher and William Ury of the Harvard Negotiation Project.... this is a good book, as is the old classic "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. I'd recommend the Carnegie book first and the Fisher/Fry book after. <
I'll ask again, if $8 per hour is a good idea, why not $80 per hour? The problem, Brad, is that the employer - without some checks by society in general, holds almost all the cards. How is one individual to fight a General Motors etc. No one's arguing for $80 an hour here - IMO, it makes your argument a
That is exactly the thought I had when I heard the " W stands for wrong" line. Wow, how mature is that?! I liked Dave Letterman's take on it, he said that John Kerry recently explained that the W in George W Bush stands for wrong but still can't explain what John Kerry stands for. Straying dangerously
No kidding. I'm getting tired of signing in and constantly seeing nothing but politics, politics and more vicious politics. I really get tired of one side attributing all the evil, dirty deeds, and dastardly tricks in the world to just the "lefties" or just the "righties." I feel like yelling "Grow up, look around, it happens on both sides, and has as long as humanity has invented politics. Try to get some perspective, go meet some real life

Having read about the American auto industry decline, it's hard not to put the blame squarely where it belongs: at the feet of management. The American worker, (or any other worker, for that matter) are usually willing to work hard when the right systems are in place. It's interesting, and telling, that the "guru" of the Japanese car industry, was none other than an American statistician, Dr. Edwards Deming. In fact, to receive the "Deming" a
Let's see if I can phrase this correctly: Women - as portrayed in the media - is an image they believe is what men want. However, I've seen several surveys of men's attitudes towards either: A) skinny women or B) women a little plumpish. In other words, neither weight would be exactly what the lady herself would say is her perfect or proper body weight. Women think men prefer A, when in fact these surveys show t
See - I personally had more of your perspective when I was young. My 16 year old mom got married to my 22 year old dad. She was 17 when my older brother was born, 19 when she had me, and had a family of four by the time she was 23. So there were some good things with her being that young - but I think if my parents had been a lot older, there would have been equally good things that would have come with that too. JW
I also think it's a bit cruel for the children . . . whatever children they have will always have a dad with a bad back and old knees that can't run and play like other daddies. By high school graduation, dad will at least be in his mid-eighties. Whatever children they have won't be able to have an adult relationship with their f

I think that the web-site owners can expect a letter from VS's lawyers soon. While I agree with the sentiment of bringing this into the public eye - I've got to think it's unfair to VS. Are they asking their models to be bulimic? Without proof, it seems like they're jumping to condemn a popular public figure, just to make their point. JW
It's gonna be tough for them. Unless the kid is exceptionally intelligent, she'll have trouble understanding a lot of the things that's his context, his frame of reference. Physically, sure it's odd. But isn't the very essense of love that you have differences and love each other in spite of them? It's hard to talk about a *soul-mate* if all you're concerned about is age, and the physical union. Kids, sure, but how many mar

Gid, Got to think you're wrong on this one, save the militancy of US gun owners. Land mass has little to do with this. Population density and unguarded border per person is far greater in Canada and Australia than in the US. While your point is well taken that serious criminals won't be stopped by most measures, your more casual criminal will. In any case, this isn't where guns do the most damage. It's in the hands of the citizenry -
Great post! Likewise, I decided that I'd be the first to ask the clerk serving me in the stores "How are you today?". I find most of them appreciate it, since they are *required* to ask their customers the same. Just another way of spreading a little bit-o-love in the world. JW
Im curious as to what the British anti-Bush percentages were? Its a tight race here in america, as we all know, almost 50-50, so remember, for every voter that hates Bush, theres one that loves him. Countries that traditionally support America, almost to a person, don't like Bush. In Britain, it's thr

"How many of the jobs created by the Bush administration are from defense contracts and do they include American workers in Iraq, not to mention the increased employment in surveillance?" Now that would be very interesting to see. I suspect that these numbers might be as high as one million? Does that sound reasonable? JW
For God's sake Jay he's holding a "shotgun" not a supposed "assualt weapon"! Why would it be sensible to ban a "shotgun" from the common citizenry? As I said, I didn't see the picture. No need to yell at me. I asked for further clarification "No. What are you talking about?". JW
Part of that is giving economic freedom which helps create a middle class. It can. Or a middle class can arise regardless, as it did in the former Soviet Union (basically went from an agrarian society to a modern industrial state) and as its doing now in China. Either way it happens, with an expanded mi
1/ Do you have a fetish ? What is it, and do you know how it came about ? (question by Mig) Won't say here. 2/ Do women really think size matters ? (question by Derek) Sure they do. But neither do they think it's the end all and be all. Many are happy with just a regulation-sized sausage. 3/ Why do I keep getting those little packet things in my mailbox that say 'To The Resident' and turn out to be for 'secret w
Most of Kerry's flip-flops seem more blatant. For instance, did you see the picture of Kerry brandishing a weapon he wanted to ban? No. What are you talking about? Because someone holds a weapon either as a soldier or as part of a photo-op for the press, does this somehow negate the fact he thinks it's
If Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Sudan, and Libya start seriously moving towards liberal democracy, won't that have a serious effect on terrorism? Given their cultural history - and the key fact that very few of these nations have a substantial mid
