PER WIKIPEDIA: Racism is a belief system or doctrine which postulates a hierarchy among various human races or ethnic groups. It may be based on an assumption of inherent biological differences between different ethnic groups that purport to determine cultural or individual behaviour. ...

I went back and read the OPs post about 3 times. Not once did she use the word hate and she said "most" not "all." We've all had bad days. I was cursing under my breath while working just today because one inconsiderate mumbling Primadonna ruined my entire morning. She just happened to be American.
Face it. There is a stereotype that many doctors have God complexes, are arrogant, demanding, and have to have their way. Doctors are inconsiderate. These are intelligent people that just don't give a rats. I'll prove it by saying that I've been a medical Transcriptionist for 18 years and no other "professional" has ever belched, eaten, cursed, or urinated while on the phone with me.
You don't have to be an MT to get frustrated over the language barrier either. I've owned my last Dell computer, not because I hate Indians, but because every single time I've had to call I wind up ending the call because there is a complete communication breakdown. I would expect that if I "chose" to live in another country, but this is my home. Americans are the ones having to learn a second language because so many foreigner just wont. Just look at how many job posting there are for bilingual receptionists and secretaries. It's just not like that anywhere else but here. If I "chose" to live in Japan, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, etc. you'd better believe I would be the one to learn "their" language. Why should they accommodate me? I'm on their soil. Why should it be any different here? No where else on the globe is it like this.
Sorry if this is long and choppy. I got distracted.

Hmm, is this little Hispanic girl racist?

The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
My nephew got a girl pregnant at Spring Break.
He was in college. The girl pretty much partied with every guy there, but tracked them down. DNA proved paternity. Now he pays child support to a girl who was a one night stand. As bad as that is, things could have been worse. I am just glad my DD never wanted to go.
Geez, at least give her credit for trying. At least, sm
if didn't work out and she had to go inhouse, at least she could say she tried. No harm in that, at least that is my opinion.
Give yourself a break (sm)
and do something else this year, it doesn't have to be forever. Also, I think you should tell your mother the problem.
You can join me, I have an evil stepmother and nobody would pick me up from the Amtrak and now the tickets are sold out and it's too late to go for the holidays. On the other hand, I find dealing with it so draining that I'm off the hook this year and can do whatever I want, I won't be spending my holiday on the freeway. Good luck!
Give me a break!!
If you are working that much and making $6000 to $7000 a month it's a good thing... the only way you will be able to spoil your kids is w/material things.. would rather work less and enjoy what little time they are little....
I have read so many times about people who say they make all this money... I often wonder what else these people do with thier lives???
Give her a break
You sound like such a rightious person, hope you don't need help some day. Again I would much rather have her collect some unemployment until she can find a job that truly suits her than just have to take any job. You can say the employer pays it but it is a 'Undefined benefit" that we all have when we work enough hours and if someone lays you off or fires you for cause as long as you weren't stealing or doing something against the rules. Much better than the welfare fraud, the illegals coming in and taking our tax dollars after having only been here for a few weeks/months. At lease she has been in the workforce contributing to society and her taxes. So get off her back, give her some space so she can find a job that suits her and doesn't have to take the first one that comes along. And no, I am a MTSO and cannot collect unemployment so I am not personally involved in this.
Give her a break!
For crying out loud! You obviously have never taken time away from your own accounts (Yes, time = money!) to try to train someone only to have her turn around and quit on you. It is frustrating, time consuming and costs money to the person who is kind enough to try to give her a break. This person is totally within her rights to feel violated. Personally I wouldn't give out her name either, but I wouldn't bash the original poster for stating her frustration over the situation. Please walk a mile in someone else's shoes before you criticize them.
give us a break!!! She/he knew exactly....sm
the MT knows exactly what the dictator was TRYING to say as far as his poor English. Yes, verbatim is verbatim, but WRONG is just wrong, and what the MT would need to correct would not, in the least, affect the patient's care.
You're dead wrong on this.
Choke! Give me a break, would you?
Ba-wah Walters is anything but classy. The way she announced that Star was going - well, one would have thought the president was assinated and it was the end of the world.
What a joke.
Ba-wah looks out for Ba-wah and Ba-wahs' pocketbook and public opinion. She's not interested in anyone or anything else. Much like Star, Rosie, Joy and the rest of those nit wits on The View.
MT vs Bus driver? Give me a break
For heaven's sakes. Did it ever occur to you that if you can't decide, however rhetorically, whether to be an MT or drive a bus that you don't belong in this profession?
I'm SO TIRED OF LISTENING TO MTs complain. If you don't have a passion for what you do, here's a tip: DO SOMETHING ELSE!
You don't develop a passion for something just because it pays enough! There are a lot of facets to passion. And if you're doing something you don't have a passion for you're wasting your life.
Why is the fact that you're not making enough money or you're underappreciated SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT! It's YOUR fault. 
Are you kidding. Give it a break, pulleeeas
:
Oh to have such problems in life. Give me a break.
How shallow can you get?
Oh give me a break. If had watched the show..sm
you would have known WHY they asked her to leave. She was arrogant, pushy, demanding, and interruptive to put it mildly. The show is WAY better off without her and her attitude of "better than thou."
Give me a break! This is America, you want to be here, speak the language!
LOL!! Exactly..maybe i should give you a you go girl!! NOT

U R confusing official definition of professional with "popular" definition...sm
the official definition is those jobs like physicians, PA's, NP's, law, etc. Not something you do for a long time or what your job is. The popular definition for profession is what you do. Same thing with vocation, a official definition would hold to calling, such as clergy or nuns or missionaries... popular would say what's your job. So depends if you are looking for the popular definitions vs. the official definitions, though I will say some very ignorant people posting on the topic...
Give the crap a break. There is NO proof that MQ has sold, so 'critical' thinking isn't in
Give the crap a break. There is NO proof that MQ has sold, and while 'critical' thinking should be a part of the equation, sadly it isn't. All some posters are doing here is stirring up trouble and they can go somewhere else, we don't want it here.
Dano, regarding Softscript, I've received a number of emails from people who work at the company who appear to have legitimate complaints. I see no reason for posters to not be allowed to post for others to be watchful.
Because all threads referring to a so-called MQ sale were removed, some of the good comments went, too. When a thread is removed in its entirety we are unable to pick and choose what stays.

They steal your money and then send you a check and you are thrilled. Give me a break.

Yeah, Dano, the poster I responded to was sure deserving of "kid gloves". Give me a break.
Everyone hates editors, everyone hates QA - it makes no sense, but that's the way it is. Period. If you are sweet to them and helpful, they stab you behind the back and freak when they get called in their errors. If you are calm and blunt, they freak. If you are abrupt and to the point, they freak. If you send the masses emails saying Howdy, they stab you behind the back and diss you. Yet, we won't mention that they write us sweetly back!! And if we don't send them Howdy emails, they stab us behind our backs and complain that we don't write them. We do write them, per their own wish, and they complain that we're harassing them. NOT. The intelligent MT is the one who recognizes we all make errors, recognizes that editors are to catch errors and that it is our JOB to point said errors out to them - not a personal power trip. As I said, intelligent MTs recognize such - however, on this board there are not many who will fall into the above category. You'll see more in a second - flaming away!! And the same nasty MTs wonder why they never get anywhere? Why they always get the crap dictators? Why they never get raises? I wonder.

not racist
I'm sorry if my comment was considered racist because that is not what I meant. It is just a fact of today's society. I don't begrudge a single ESL who has had the gumption to excel in today's working public. I just think that my husband or my son should have the same privilege since we are citizens of the USA. I know that they are probably citizens as well, but transplanted, and they shouldn't be given perferential treatment because they are transplanted. They should only be on an equal level. I don't think anyone should be given preference because of race, color of skin or who you know.
Racist much?
Get off it...no one is "taking over."
racist
Maybe you take what we've said as racist. That is your opinion and you have a right to it. I dont mean to be racist. Take for instance African American dictators. I have yet to have a problems with an African American dictator and no I am no African American. I am just stating that if I was racist I would be racist against African Amercians. It isn't racism it is facts. If the dictators from India, or Asia, or some other country could speak clearly and a few do then I would have no problem with them.
You go girl! You go girl! Loved your response!
Wooo hooo!!!
THIS IS RACIST AND UNCALLED FOR
This has absolutely nothing to do with "the race card." Why insult a whole race when we're talking about natural disasters? This is narrow minded and unwelcome. Keep your racial comments private please...
I think you're racist and where is it exactly...

Sounds like a racist to
me too!
She should try learning another language, go to that country and see how she likes being told to "go back where you came from" because she couldn't be understood!
There would be no America if everyone returned to their country of origin.
Read my post above, very racist myself
NOT. I do not like ebonics and definitely would not allow it spoken in my home. Husband black, I am white. I can say that and now am I racist for calling it what it is. It is terrible speaking and not English. When I lived in Atlanta it was horrible all the people interviwed on the news. No one could speak to where most could understand. I can speak from experience myself.
Not racist at all - a very well written post.

BNP abbrv definition
BNP WHAT IS THE DEFINITION FOR THIS ABBR
IRS created the new SE definition and
then felt it was being abused. They then noticed how large the MT industry was and decided that would be where they would focus their efforts to decide whether to keep the status or do away with it. In order to find out that information, they had to start doing audits if the "SE" box on your W2 was marked. I hired a tax person to help me but his efforts were fruitless. One day after faxing back and forth and writing back and forth, I got on the phone and held for almost 5 hours until I got someone in the department created for consumer complaint resolution. I was amazed to find myself talking to someone who was intelligent! They saw what the problem was, saw that all the documentation was in place and negated all activity by clicking a few keys on his computer. I had owed about $2000 that year but had already paid it as it was a retroactive audit, so I was lucky with how things worked out.
I was just wondering if anyone else had problems. I've chosen to never again have SE status so as not to have lightening strike again!

Depends on your definition (sm),
doesn't it?
definition of acquaintance....sm
- Knowledge of a person acquired by a relationship less intimate than friendship.
- A relationship based on such knowledge: struck up an acquaintance with our new neighbor.
- Someone you know.
from dictionary.com
The IRS definition of an employee is this:
Who Is an Independent Contractor?
A general rule is that the EO, as the payer, has the right to control or direct only the result of the work done by an independent contractor, and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result.
I'd suggest you get a consultation with an attorney, and be sure to file your response with EDD.
See definition inside.
From Webster's online dictionary:
A written or oral defamatory statement or representation that conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression b (1): a statement or representation published without just cause and tending to expose another to public contempt (2): defamation of a person by written or representational means (3): the publication of blasphemous, treasonable, seditious, or obscene writings or pictures (4): the act, tort, or crime of publishing such a libel.
Based on the definition above...
I would come away from viewing that site with an unfavorable impression and unjustly so for the name of the company as well.
I think there's a good argument for libel there.
Here's the definition I found: sm
"A ball of swallowed foreign material (usually hair or food) that becomes trapped in the stomach or the intestines."
That's on Google, and that's the way context in which the dictating physicians used that term on the reports I typed for 22 years. :)
This is the definition I found, it's
grosser than yours, eeewww!
How can you mention this, just like that??? Out of the blue?
Do you suffer from 'vocal tics?'
(n.) A calculous concretion found in the intestines of certain ruminant animals (as the wild goat, the gazelle, and the Peruvian llama) formerly regarded as an unfailing antidote for poison, and a certain remedy for eruptive, pestilential, or putrid diseases. Hence: Any antidote or panacea.
You need to look up the definition of synechiae....sm
It does refer to the eye, but also refers to any adhesions in the body, lung, uterus, vulva etc.
Small national definition
Would you define what you would perceive as a "small" national, and then maybe I could better have an idea how to respond to you with some ideas.
