    I once had a Boss From Hell.  And what happened is that I stopped caring about everything.   So did everyone.   I recall when the office was not unlocked on time, I went across the road and hung out.  It was a lovely social encounter.  No one cared.  Everyone eventually left… only the whack job secretary remained.

    The idea of watching television online might seem odd, at first.  Then the thought of control,  of being able to view programmes when one wants,  coupled with the realisation one can view programmes that might ha […]

    • I watch TV online only when I can not find the programs on regular television. To be honest, I don’t really like it because of the annoying and interrupting glitches. Would much rather just watch TV. But sometimes what I want to watch is not on TV. Thank the Lord for the Internet! 🙂

      • When you don’t live in the US or Britian you get catch as catch can TV. They will run House, for example, maybe part of the first season, then a year later, part of the third… nothing in order.

        And now they bleep out everything… hell, damn… nothing you can’t hear… and it’s better to watch on line where there are no bleeps or commercials.

    • Those think inferior are those who are jealous and have evil past due to which they think that other are inferior and they are superior such persons fall prey to inferiority complex in real life. But the main cause becomes jealous and greed.

      Actually inferiority complex an unrealistic feeling of general inadequacy caused by actual or supposed inferiority in one sphere, sometimes marked by aggressive behaviour in compensation.

      Most of us compare ourselves to others. Mass media beams in the finest looking, richest, and most talented people into our lives 24/7. This creates the illusion that we ‘know’ all these beautiful, clever, younger, athletic, rich, able people. Because we compare ourselves to people we know, this illusion of knowing air-brushed ‘have-it-alls’ can make us feel correspondingly worse about ourselves.

      An inferiority complex is a general feeling of not being ‘up to the mark’. Now, I want to distinguish between knowing and feeling. I know I am inferior to Bill Gates financially, to Stephen Hawking intellectually, to millions of men aesthetically; but this knowledge doesn’t bother me one iota. Knowing you’re inferior in some ways is very different from feeling inferior.

      Knowledge that you might sometimes compare unfavourably to others may just be insight and perception. It’s crazy to try to pretend that we are all as good as each other in all ways.

      • I would not use the term ‘inferior’ because I don’t think that is correct. I can not fix the pipes as can the plumber, I can plant like the farmer, I can play cricket like the professional but I do not call myself inferior.

    • I know exactly what you are saying.Very often if people think I am American they treat me with much more respect. The idea that a non American can excel is difficult for them to grasp.

    • The attitude of inferiority is why so many Jamaicans resort to scamming… if the tourist thinks one is not at intelligent, they don’t protect themselves and the ‘inferior’ rips them off.

    For many people, they couldn’t care less about the work place.  They go there to get $$ and aren’t the least interested in anything.  So nothing is going to bother you.  It is only when you care.

    • You can share your observations of George and his son. But from what I see? I think father and son having a good time! Sure! The relationships probably won’t last. But so what! Get a clean healthy girl. Don’t have to worry about sexual disease. Maybe you even get kids. So she leaves after a few years. So what! Go get another one. There’s plenty of them out there!! Who’s using who??

      • If the wife left without taking everything, sure, shrug it off. But in the cases I mentioned, the wives took everything. George’s second wife took his house. He wound up living in his mother’s flat, then renting something. Paul’s wife took the house as well. He was virtually on the street.

        Sure, you marry that pretty young thing who makes you feel ‘young’ but you pay for it a few times over.

    • The number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. has stabilized in recent years after decades of rapid growth. But the origin countries of unauthorized immigrants have shifted, with the number from Mexico declining since 2009 and the number from elsewhere rising, according to the latest

      But some state populations had changed since 2009, despite the stable trend at the national level. From 2009 to 2014, the unauthorized immigrant population decreased in seven states: Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada and South Carolina.

      In all of them, the decline was due to a decrease in unauthorized immigrants from Mexico. In six states, the unauthorized immigrant population rose over the same time period: Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.

      In all of these but Louisiana, the increases were due to growth in unauthorized immigrant populations from nations other than Mexico. In Louisiana, it was an increase in Mexican unauthorized immigrants that drove the overall increase in the number of unauthorized immigrants.

    • The reason why people come is money. The chance to make more money.. considering the rate of exchange… Many who come through Mexico are not Mexicans. They come from Honduras, El Salvador, etc.

    • I think all illegal imergrents are hard working careing n loveing people..the ones that come here without papers just be trying to leave to make it better for themselves n family.i think there living like slaves there its many small wats there the govmt.need to help them they come to just work and live normal lives..

    • Putting people in grooves is wrong as everyone has a right to be happy whether superior, inferior or mediocre and so this struggle to gain positions according to me is a waste of time.
