Too bad you had to go there with the incendiary remarks. I don't know why you feel what you feel, but it's a shame that you couldn't continue an educational, informative discourse on the subject without letting your emotion get in the way.
I feel that i was responding to a poster who had said unions were okay for educated and skilled workers but not general labor. In addition made several references about the work ethic of general labor overall.
so lets break it down
[h=2]Definition of POMPOUS[/h]1
: excessively elevated or ornate <pompous rhetoric>
2
: having or exhibiting self-importance : arrogant <a pompous politician>
Self Importance would be the multiple statements that his wife being a teacher merited her for union protection . even if it was weak. yet a different attitude those "blue" collar worker types "unless they hade a trade.
1
: a member of an aristocracy; especially : noble
2
a : one who has the bearing and viewpoint typical of the aristocracy
b : one who favors aristocracy
3
: one believed to be superior of its kind <the aristocrat of Southern resorts — Southern Living
now just like any proper nobleman the posters words insinuate and paint a picture of a man who believes postsecondary education merit union reputation while the uneducated lazy peasants deserve none and only serve to ruin the country as the increase cost and coud possibly cause his company to use money that might of been better served paid to an educated member of the workface instead of the lazy peasant who shoud be happy to have a job at all.
now i could of possibly used the terms elitist or hypocrate but those seemed rather harsh considering the over all good nature of the poster
