“The problem with our churches today is that the lead pastor is some sissy boy who wears cardigan sweaters, has The Carpenters dialed in on his iPod, gets his hair cut at a salon instead of a barber shop, hasn’t been to an Ultimate Fighting match, works out on an elliptical machine instead of going to isolated regions of Russia like in Rocky IV in order to harvest lumber with his teeth, and generally swishes around like Jack from Three’s Company whenever Mr. Roper was around.” ProblemTodayOrderFightingThreeChurchCompanyBoysCuttingHairMachinesUltimateWork OutRussiaTeethShopsRegionsIsolatedPastorHarvestIpodsSweatersCarpenterBarbersSalonsSissyChurch TodayLumberHair CutCardigansBarber ShopRocky Iv Author:Mark Driscoll
“What really matters in a workplace, what helps an employer if you've got a unionised workforce is if your shop stewards know the rules of the game, if your safety reps are taught to be able to examine situations to make sure the workplace is more safety.

“I think bands will actually make more money without record companies; a much bigger share of the money will go to the bands. You won't have record shops taking 40 percent of the money. You won't have record labels taking 40 percent of the money. So they don't have to sell as many albums as they used to in the past. So it's not necessarily a bad thing if record companies disappear.” IfsThinkingPastUsedCompanyRecordsShareBandPercentBiggerSellsAlbumsDisappearLabelsShopsBad ThingsMore MoneyRecord CompaniesRecord Labels Author:Richard Branson

“We have to recognise, that the gin-palace, like many other evils, although as poisonous, is still a natural outgrowth of our social conditions. The tap-room in many cases is the poor man's only parlour. Many a man takes to beer, not from the love of beer, but from a natural craving for the light, warmth, company, and comfort which is thrown in along with the beer, and which he cannot get excepting by buying beer. Reformers will never get rid of the drink shop until they can outbid it in the subsidiary attractions which it offers to its customers.” MenStillsLightEvilSocialNaturalPoorRoomsCompanyCasesConditionsDrinkComfortOffersCustomersAttractionBeerBuyingShopsThrownWarmthCravingPalacesRecognisePoor ManPoisonousReformersGinSocial Conditions Book:In Darkest England and the Way Out Source: In Darkest England and the Way Out
