Not to argue, but have YOU ever been thru this?

Do you know how many times battered woman go to the police for help, only to be told that there's nothing that can be done? That no charges will be filed, because there's no proof? Or the husband gets charged with something but the DA pleads it down to Disturbing the Peace because there's no proof?
She's lived in this situation for far too long now... and unfortunately, the truth is that she just keeps getting smacked around anyway... trust me, if you've been there, you would know what I'm talking about... you take it and take it and take it and there's no end in sight... but at least this way she would know that it was the last and final time... I told you my opinion wouldn't be popular.. but the truth is, she's probably not going to leave just because any of us tell her to... but at least if she formulates a plan like I suggested, it gives her a goal to work toward, it makes it real for her, and she will probably follow thru... otherwise, it's just too easy to stay in the cycle of abuse and forgiveness... trust me on that one... you sit there and think to yourself that you're going to leave because you know you have to... but then you just never do... because no matter how rough it is, at least it's familiar... and getting out really takes a lot of courage to break the cycle.... at least if she has a plan, then she has a goal and a set date to have it be over... with no more excuses or saying "well maybe he'll change" or giving it one last chance... at the end of the month, his chances are over...

Can't argue with that!

Yep, can't argue with that.

we argue all the time
My husband says I don't spend enough time with my family even though I stay home during the day with my kids while he is at work. When he has something in the evening, I get stressed because I have to work while he is off with friends and I'm trying to take care of the kids. I get my work around 6:30 p.m. He doesn't want me to stay up all night doing it to turn around by noon. What is a girl to do?
Go ahead, argue with me on how you all think
Lets see the moral ethics flow.
Paying below poverty... minimum wage is POVERTY, yet, below that.. what a joke.
Because I'm just being me, I gotta argue ya ;)
Nuthin' personal... I'm only going on what AAMT BOS tells me to do, because I'm a tool. Page 209 of 2005 AAMT BOS, 2-cm mass, 4-cm lesion, 4-1/4-inch scar, .38-caliber pistol, et cetera.
for that matter, you could also argue what are any of us needed for...
why have people do anything.
being that I love this profession, I am just disappointed to be in it at this time of transition. if there was even hope the MT can be transitioned to stay in the field it would be great, but so far all I hear are complaints about money, we cost too much, nurses cost too much, everyone costs too much.
personally, although automation is inevitable (being the huge Isaac Asimov fan that I am) robots WILL be taking over manual labor some day, computers will think for us, and again the quote comes to mind 'how will man learn to survive his own insignificance.'
in theory, the electronic chart with chips in our brains should work perfectly; however, have you ever known your PC to work perfectly like say, when there is a storm, or computer hackers take over, or, I could go on...
the transition period is probably where the worst mistakes will happen...
I do agree with you, in theory, anway.
Not to mention, QA does not get pain to argue with MTs
The QA people have a specific job to do also. They do not get paid to exchange e mails with the MTs (imagine how much time that would waste), or to have an ongoing debate with them as mentioned in previous post. You would not want to do that much typing on your job and not get paid for it. They have a TAT to meet just like we do. Mind you, I am not taking up for you QA guys that nitpick at hyphens and punctuation at all, even though you say that's your job. I would say that in more than 30 years, I have only had 2-3 who could/would spend the time to help me become a better MT without unnecessary critism. Yes, I agree, there should be more editors like the one posting here. MTs should think outside the box here and use a decent QA person when you find one as a valuable tool at your disposal.
Do not worry the posters below - some people will argue about ANYthing!
Hope your party is a great success! :-)
I see folks churn out crap that I cannot argue for humans

You're just wanting to argue and point out flaws.
Go on and wonder and murmur.
LOL
I'm repeating what my accountant told me. Go argue w/him I guess.
He said find out what you need to make and then multiply that x 3.
I paid at least 30% tax last year, or more. even with my piddly deductions.
I agree, too. I'm just so tired of it all, don't have the energy left to argue with 'em any
