Default Dumb Illegal Workers At It Again? RAW ALFALFA SPROUTS LINKED TO SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION

I'd like to kick GWB in the nuts just as much as you would, but he
and his sitters are not responsible for the unwillingness of
Americans to do certain types of work. I challenge anyone to find
100 typical teenagers who'd agree to bust their asses harvesting
broccoli for 8 hours at a time, even for the legal minimum wage. Or,
clean hotel bathrooms, wash pots & pans in a hot, crowded restaurant
kitchen, etc.


I washed pots at the Frog and the Peach restaruant on Long Island and
ran up and down to the walk in box for the chef's requests for
sometimes 10 hours a day, more on the weekend. We barely grow hand
picked vegetables in America any more, we have factory farms for the
most part with automated pickers. Crops we get which are harvested by
migrant workers are in Mexico, Chile, etc. American's are lazy, fat,
and sloven.

Statistically and logically invalid response: "I did that kind of
work and it didn't kill me." That's one. I want 100.


I just said I did it. Everyone who worked in that kitchen was
American.



You replied to two different people in your previous post. The "invalid
response" lesson came from ME. The fact that YOU did the kind of work you
described is meaningless. I guarantee that if you asked American 100
teenagers if they'd give up their nice, comfy jobs at the mall or
Blockbuster and go pick vegetables or clean public bathrooms all day long,
they'd laugh at you.
