I wholeheatedly agree Becks, Friends is what comming here is about, and Our love for Priest! I have many friends here I would not enjoy loosing at all.
Friends that have been messed with just like me and are still above the garbage, and new friends I meet every now and again and just adore such as yourself, Adri, DC, what would we do without you Girls! Nothing Like the Priest Family as MG~ So elloquently puts it.

Becks wrote:

So true, Spa. No matter where people go in life, there will be those annoying pests around, pissing others off cos they think it's fun. I like to focus on the friends I have, it's a far more positive and pleasant occupation than being an annoyance

spapad wrote:

DF, why would I leave when I have so many good friends here, like you said, just a couple members who are a thorn in our backsides but no biggy. They always go away eventually.

Deep Freeze wrote:

Thank you. It is so very true. Believe me, there are still a couple members here that I would NOT miss in the slightest should they decide to "move on" but all are welcome . For all those "great" members that have decided to leave us, there are MORE that have stayed and I am grateful.

Well said Freeze! I agree with you 100%. We all take what we want from here
and it does make you think. Whatever the topic was good or bad and you grow
from the exchanges whether you know it or not.
Onward and Upward friends....

You know, there has been a lot of chatter here lately about behavior and what is or is not acceptable. I am always supportive of discourse and I wanted to take a moment to speak on a serious note to all of you. Over the last couple of years, this Board has seen many changes. As we all know, change is a constant in our world. Those that find they are unable to adapt to change inevitably will succumb to its dynamic. Such is life. We all evolve or we fade away. There have been a lot of very good and very bad members that have "moved on" and are no longer with us. That is a fact. But, more importantly, we have a lot of members that remain. I choose not to lament the loss of those which no longer join us but to embrace those that do. It is my belief that each and every member offers us something. Even those that choose a path of discord. From them we all learn to support one another and the bonds of friendship are strengthened. From those that differ in opinion, we learn alternate points of view. Certainly I do not always agree with everything that is said here but I find that I am much better for the exchanges. Our lives are enriched through the diversity we have here and that means a lot. In my case, many of you shared in a dark point of my life some time ago. You were there from the beginning and there when I emerged from the other side. I will always be thankful that you were there. Regardless of one's political affiliation, socio-economic situation, religious beliefs or personal views, each and every one of us on this Board share a common interest...Judas Priest. Through this band, we have come together. Through our friendships, we have stayed. For all the talk and griping and accusations and snipes, we stay. And we all make friends. I often lay in bed at night and, as I drift off to sleep, I actually think of you. I picture those I have never seen and try to imagine what you look like. I can see those I have met and I imagine hanging out and talking. I recall those that have made personal efforts to spend time with me. And I smile. Sometimes, I wonder what you're doing at that moment. Are you sleeping? Are you sharing with family? Working? Listening to some Priest? HA!!!!!! We can say what we will about some of the behavior here. As much as I have always tried to show grace and manners I realize that I am human and I get caught up in the silliness just as anyone else can. We can declare our disgust and leave. We can take shots at one another. We can complain about those that are no longer part of our group. All of this we can do. But we can also share in the unique and widely varied personalities that make up OUR Board today. That's right, OUR Board. It is ours. Yours and mine. We keep coming here because we care. We defend because we care. We argue because we care. We laugh because we care. Most importantly of all........we care.

[devils_child] Friday, April 17, 2009 9:39:27 PM

Gah, I'm so sick of the trash on this board.... Everyone nice get a facebook account and we can mess around there. At least on that you can ban people from harassing you or making snide comments.

So, how is everyone?

Well said Freeze. I know I've been staying away from posting on the board like I used to, mostly b/c I don't want to involve myself with the Brothers Fucktard. However, I realized something just now...if I leave or if I create a new ID, those assholes win. Screw that and screw them!!!! As much as I dislike their unnecessary and pitiful rantings, they are a cancer to a site I like and I enjoy coming there and chatting with all of you. I for one do not think any of us should allow these cretins to win or gain some type of advantage. Just my thoughts. Thank you for posting that my friend.

I noticed last year when JP tickets were on sale at the venues and through live nation there where other sites charging over 1,000.00 for the same ticket I had for way much less. Crazy, anyone would buy those tickets! Must just be people who don't shop around for the proper sites to pay that amount, but yeh it really sucks when a venue sells out and that is what your left with.

SO the best of 10,000 seats for this show, are all will-call, to be picked up at the main office, and you have to show ID, they aregoing paperless, for the best 10,000 seats in the stadium, to avoid scalping.

the most right person, if they are equal may well be the one without the degree, depending on the job. if I am hiring a car washer, the degree I look for is the one from bombay with a masters in shrimp. I know that degree will do her no good in any science job here, so she would stay. the degree in computer science tells me that the person wants to be at a desk, not working physicaly, this would be a temp job for them. the right candidate depends on the job.
for some jobs, a degree is absolutly a requirement, for others its a good thing, for some, its not. a lot of graduates do not understand how different work is from school. some do and stay in school.

		You know, it is good to come home and see a stirring debate waiting for me!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!! I am fairly certain that everyone (or nearly everyone) here knows my feelings regarding education. There are many opinions and varying schools of thought on what higher education means in this day and age but, I remain steadfast in my position that a college education is still as important today as it has always been. There are positions that are filled by people that are not formally educated. There are people that are incredibly intelligent who do not have college credentials. In short, there is always an exception to the rule. However, with the number of folks that are looking for work nowadays, the employee-pool has taken on quite a different look than it has had in years past. Even very bright, intellectual people are out of work. When this occurs, one's education becomes increasingly important. You see, I do understand what Tim was trying to say. You want the "right" person in the position, not always the most educated. But what happens when you have more than one "right" person? What criteria is used to further define just who is most "right"? Of course, a lot of it has to do with the job at hand. We all know that different personalities handle different jobs with different styles. Depending on what is expected, one can even further narrow the choices. It really depends on the industry and the job description. I cannot speak for those industries with which I have no experience but I do know about mine. The financial industry, for all it's current deprecation, is still an industry made up of highly skilled, highly educated individuals. If I were to interview subjects for a position and I found that I had more than one who appeared qualified, I would absolutely look at their educational background. Absolutely. An education says a lot about a person. It is not just about being "book smart". It is about dedication and perserverence. It is about hard work and ability to achieve. Sacrifice and focus. Obtaining a degree is only part of it.

your right. education is fine, but real knowledge is gained from practical aplication. my company put in place a policy that all new managers needed a degree. so on the conf call to discuss it my boss and I asked if we should resign. I have hired great people to be managers, with and without degree's, but the best are always those who have worked their way up. I have also hired people who had degree's, interviewed well, and couldnt find their ass with both hands and a map.
