    This is an adult conversation, is it?

      It was until someone got report happy. So I’ll repeat my comment in a more civil manner:

      Do I detest Goodwill as a corporation? Absolutely.

      Do I think disabled people deserve better pay? Absolutely.

      Do I think you’ve acknowledged that your local goodwill supports your neighbors? Nope.

      Do I think you’ve acknowledged your local Goodwill maybe the only community support organization helping your queer neighbors & non Christian neighbors? Nope.

      Do I think you’ve tried to boil an incredibly complex socio-economic support organization into a rage bait headline? Absolutely.

      Do I think you’re unable to actually comprehend how complex your neighborhood truly is & what good that local Goodwill might be willing to bring to the table? Absolutely.

      Do I think you’ll reply with a miseducated reconstitution of my words to support your narrative? You betcha!

        I got “report happy” because you kept breaking incivility rule.

        Do I think you’ve acknowledged that your local goodwill supports your neighbors? Nope.

        Because it was irrelevant to both my point and the links I posted.

        Do I think you’ve acknowledged your local Goodwill maybe the only community support organization helping your queer neighbors & non Christian neighbors? Nope.

        Because it was irrelevant to both my point and the links I posted.

        Do I think you’ve tried to boil an incredibly complex socio-economic support organization into a rage bait headline? Absolutely.

        I posted two links to support my point, you apparently didn’t notice.

        Do I think you’re unable to actually comprehend how complex your neighborhood truly is & what good that local Goodwill might be willing to bring to the table? Absolutely.

        Also not relevant to my point, but again uncivil, so I will again get “report happy.”

        Do I think you’ll reply with a miseducated reconstitution of my words to support your narrative? You betcha!

        “Miseducated” isn’t a word.

        My only point this entire time is that Goodwill doesn’t pay disabled people enough. You apparently agree, so I’m not sure why you’ve been so hostile.

            You almost managed to be civil the entire time and then you got to the last sentence. I have not insulted you, I have not been aggressive with you, I have been nothing but cordial. If you want to have an adult conversation, one would think the least you could do would be to not reciprocate with anger, aggression and insults.

              Miseducated: the past participle of miseducate, or to inform wrongly

              “FlyingSquid is a miseducated individual who enjoys spreading miseducation with the sole intent to miseducate.”

              you my friend, are in fact… miseducated.

                Again, if you want to have an adult conversation, one would think the least you could do would be to not reciprocate with anger, aggression and insults.

                It sounds like when you claimed you were wanting an adult discussion, you were being highly dishonest.

                Also, if you talk to your friends like this, I pity them. However, I am not the friend of someone who talks to me like you do.

                  Well given that you don’t seem to care about your neighbors well being, I pity them.

                  I’m not the one who started throwing around misinformation and miseducation about employment opportunities that impact my neighbors, you did.

                  You want an adult conversation? Go talk to someone who relies on those jobs you’re so fond of disparaging.

                  Take care Richard.

                    None of my neighbors work at Goodwill.

                    And you were the one who said you wanted an adult conversation. You’ve shown none of that.

                    Also, I’m disparaging the job for the same reason all the disabled people in the articles I pasted that you didn’t apparently read are complaining about them, so it’s pretty ironic that you’re claiming I’m the one who doesn’t care about the well being of the people who rely on those jobs… by saying they should be paid more.
