1) you spelt it wrong
2) that's not what it's used for/chanted
3) even when they blow themselves up, they say something else/completely different... not that (movies got it all wrong)
You infidels crack me up lolz
But that's a crappy job, especially if this happens:

1. I didn't spell it AT ALL, so I couldn't have done it wrong.
2. Have you not spent any time watching any of the thousands of videos taken from these dudes? You can clearly hear them saying it over and over. I've seen enough videos used as training material (legit, real world confiscated video) and that is what you hear most often. You can easily search and find a few of the videos I've seen.
3. I didn't get this from Hollywood movies (I actually don't think I've seen a fake movie with this being said).

Wrong again, I don't require a philosophical or a religious crutch to sustain myself or bind myself with nature and/or a GOD.

Who needs god when you have the HR department to solve your problems.
OMG WTF dad!!!!!
Why are you on my Forum???? This is SO embarrassing. I want to die!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM LIKE I DO!
It's so unfair. Why can't you just accept that we are together and we are happy?
Mom would understand but you made here leave!
When I'm 18 I'm so out of here.
I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU!!!!!!

use the force luke.
wishful thinking, they won't run away in thier 20's. Couldn't get them out with dynamite.
Too bad that it got so negative - I was enjoying reading about it.
It was definitely the case for bartending. In one year, I treated it like a career, dropped out of school, read about mixology & alcohol history + practiced at home, and I got a job at arguably one of the best bars in the world, at the end(can't even say the name even though I no longer work for them). My co-workers all had 15 years of experience and the manager couldn't believe that he was hiring me with one year of experience.
The point of my post isn't to pat myself on the back but to show that the money can follow if you're dedicated enough. I worked 7 days a week between 3-4 jobs to compensate for my lack of experience, and in my down-time I was studying everything alcohol-related as if I were in university for it. I worked doubles and sometimes triples, but it paid off.
It's really competitive in Toronto, especially if you're a dude. Not many bartending gigs will give you an actual salary + full benefits + tips. The hardest part was getting the first job and that's where networking comes into play. Then there's learning to interview well.
But it also goes to show that university isn't always the best route. I have college friends that are where the university grads expected to be. Personally, I won't take a 9-5 that pays less than 45k with no room for growth. It can be a bad way of looking at things because sometimes you network at the job and who knows where you'll end up, but it's a personal preference. But my way of looking at it is that if there's no room for advancement and I'm making less than 45k, I might as well finish my university degree, because you can make way more than that without a degree.
Another thing that I never really considered was that we get so fixated on opportunities where we CURRENTLY live. It's easier said than done when you get older and are tied down with more commitments, but people forget that they can apply abroad and sometimes make even better money. I think fixation is a huge problem because sometimes you really do need to jump ship not just in terms of where you live, but also with what you do, and HOW you live/spend.
I'm not sure if I agree with this. The other way of looking at it is that you can do what you love, and the money will follow. I can't deny that luck will always be a factor, but enjoying what you do generally makes you pretty proficient at it.

You're not much for theology are you? He said "when you pass into non-existence". So why again would he yell "Allahu Akbar"? He is clearly anti immigration too, anti socialist and pro American. Is everyone a "terrorist" of one denomination to you?
Looks like this guy might yell "you'll never take my gun" or "freeeeeedom" before bombing a village or raping and burning a family. Not that assuming the worst of someone is the right thing to do, but at least get the ignorant stereotype right!

I think that what you say makes a lot of sense. I believe that we are in a really different world than even 20 years ago. There is so much competition and so many opportunities out there that it doesn't make a whole of sense to stay in place. If I were a young person today, I would take advantage of opportunities elsewhere rather than get tied down.
Today, the young people that I see who are successful are the ones that think outside the box and who are able to provide a service or skills that are in demand. Or they have some skill set or trade that enables them to sell their services just about anywhere. They may or may not be entrepreneurs but at least they have given some thought to who and what they are and in turn, what they can do to support themselves. They do not have unreal expectations of being owed anything.
CLARIFICATION: I don't mean to suggest that only young people have unreal expectations and certainly not all. I find just as many of my fellow boomers are also a bit challenged when it comes to being realistic about what to expect. Everyone is feeling the effect of what appears to be a race to the bottom.

I just saw this on the plane. They also bash twilight. So fitting. It was a nominee for the sundance festival, so it actually is a good watch.
"I majored in english but I minored in history just to make sure that I'd be fully unemployable"

Yet he still gets a chick.
I've been working in the software industry the last several years and while my salary allows me to live well above the poverty line, I can already identify serious issues (beyond the outsourcing and offshoring issues) facing this particular industry in the near future, even for existing industry professionals. I'm currently in India conducting trainings (not to replace my job, but for them to leverage our software to create new business opportunities for their companies).
Essentially, any skill that is trained can be learned by anyone. Accounting, engineering, sciences, finance, etc, these are all industries which will lower in demand and job numbers.
North America had been ahead of the other nations the past 50 years, but other nations have caught up, inevitably meaning current 'high-skilled' jobs will face a shortage of demand due to a high supply of competent people, and people who are willing to work for less. Some of the locals here I've been teaching have actually worked in the states, only to be deported back to their country due to visa issues, and many of them have been asking me how to get PR in Canada. These people want out, and a better life for themselves and their kids...badly...they will take on jobs and opportunities most of us think are beneath us, and not complain about it. This is actually my first time here, and its certainly changed the way I think about work. I am both in awe and in fear of what they're capable of doing.
If you look at it from their perspective, we've been spoiled the last 50 years, while they've pretty much been in poverty or enduring slavery during that time. Its really just nature balancing itself out.
I use to think it was okay working a cushy white collar job and just being 'above average'. I really don't think that's the case anymore. The only thing that will set you apart nowadays, is not your education nor the skills you have, but things like amazing communication skills, over-the-top talent, risk-taking, innovation, a little luck, and a lot of hard work. I don't consider myself particularly great at any of these things. Personally, I feel like I'm just riding a ship that may end up sinking one day. I was lucky enough to get my foot in the door before the economic collapse. My classmates that didn't on the other hand, are still knee deep in tuition loans. The funny thing is they keep going back to school (university) thinking it will give them a leg-up.
Or I can just go into a skill trade, expand into my own business, and call it a day lol. I grew up in a generation where being smart implied being sexy. And if you weren't smart, you weren't ****. Therefore, get a degree in rocket science and you'll be on top of the world. Post secondary education is a fashion trend, and as we know, trends fade, or at the very most, cyclical. Sometimes, being smart is being able to see through the bs that is fed to you through life, and not walking down the same path as everyone else.
Be the one dude that wears the parachute pants instead of those retards that wear canada goose. And btw, wtf is up with that ****. Kids have no jobs and complain about not having money, but are able to afford a $700 jacket? Now i'm just ranting. ok bye.
