    Most Annoying non-youthsport people

    We all know how annoying hockey, soccer, and basketball parents are. Here is my list of people who may or may not be even more annoying: (NOT IN ORDER)

    1) Your friend that sends you internet screeds about how this country is going down the drain, usually accompanied by a internet rumour (i.e. Lee Iacocca's foreword rant about Obama - which was actually written about GW Bush) or about a non existent constitutional amendment. Posts also feature a really annoying and deadly serious cartoon depiction of a bald eagle draped in an American flag. I send them back a snopes fail report and a cartoon picture of the duck from Pearls before swine.

    2) The gaggles of cyclists out for their 4am group ride through your town. No man should EVER wear spandex if it is not the Olympics. And please shut up - I am trying to sleep.

    3) The weekend Harley riders. Basically secretaries and white collar males playing Disney dress-up. These people work so hard to look tough that they look like the bikers from Eastwoods Every which way but loose. Right turn Clyde!

    4) Home school and unschool advocates. You are weird and your kids are weird. Send them to school. They need to be away from YOU.

    5) Your friend who used to be the wild-child who just found Jesus and thinks you should too.

      This country is already flushed down the toilet. Fed spending has gone up 100% in 10
      years, 50% in 3 years, 16 trillion in Debt and doubling soon. China has 0.00 Debt. U got a narcisist marxist president with zero leadership experience promising to cut the defecit while spending trillions more to nationalize free healthcare.U got increasing taxes and regulation on all private business to help pay for it and other new spending.
      In the end it doesnt matter, the liberals have won, u cant stop the spending growth and government political spending machine.
      Put a fork in the country. Hooray!! Spain won the World Cup, but the US played well.

        Right you tool. It's better to let your kids get indocrinated into pathetic federal schooling standards than to take it into your own hands (from someone who paid quite a premium on a house to live in one the better school districts and still sends his kids to private school because I can afford to)

            As opposed to having no standards so mommy can take little Joshua to the supermarket and count that as math class AND home economics. I know a homeschooler that used to count their drive to Florida as geography class.

            BTW - the main difference between private and public schools is the private schools have much better quality drugs at the HS level.

              I think this list is hilarious and spot on. Thanks for the laugh!!

              By the way, these homeschooling weirdoes are second only to the Evangelical School weirdoes (read "private school" not). For God's sake, and our's, do NOT rile them up!! We'll have to start a Massachusetts Religious Rant thread to siphon them off!

                Complete ListContra Costa's $100,000 pension club has some new members.

                Since last year, the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association has 24 percent more retirees and beneficiaries earning more than $100,000 a year, according to newly released statistics.

                The group rose from 432 to 535 members from July 2009 to last month.

                The elite club represents 7.6 percent of the county's 7,012 retirees and beneficiaries. The monthly cost of this group is $5.76 million, and it receives 23.8 percent of the county's pension dollars.

                "This simply cannot go on," said Kris Hunt, Contra Costa Taxpayers Association executive director. "We are trading services for pensions." She was referring to the claim that rising public pension costs translate into fewer tax dollars available for government services.

                In comparison, Orange County, with almost twice as many retirees, has 594 pensioners in the $100,000-plus club, representing 4.9 percent of the entire system. Orange County's elite pensioners receive 17 percent of the entire retiree benefits, according to the Orange County Employees Retirement System.

                "We're going to just see more and more members of this group until they change benefits for retirees," Hunt said. "Even if you change now, it will be 60 years before you see a difference."

                Still topping the list is Craig Bowen, former San Ramon Valley Fire District chief, with his $291,057 pension. A former deputy chief and a chief from

                the same department fill the No. 3 ($267,504) and No. 5 ($255,608) spots, respectively. New to the top five is recently retired county counsel Silvano Marchesi, at $269,698 a year and former public defender David Coleman at $267,012 annually.

                Bay Area News Group was unable to contact the top five pensioners Friday afternoon for comment.

                This year's group also saw 17 retirees drawing $200,000 or more annually, compared with 10 last year. The elite list added 114 people with an average of $131,076 annually. About 42 of them crept over the $100,000 line with their annual cost-of-living adjustments; the other 72 retired with pensions averaging $136,256 annually.

                Upper crust pensioners and ballooning public employee salaries and pension costs have been making waves in Contra Costa, the state and nationwide.

                "It makes people lose confidence in public managers because everyone wants and expects senior managers to work in the public's best interest and not their personal interests," said Contra Costa supervisor John Gioia, a retirement association trustee.

                The county association pools retirement money for 17 different agencies. Among Contra Costa County employees, for every $1 spent on salary, 80 cents must be spent on benefits. The county pays $220 million annually in pension costs, which is expect to grow to about $270 million by 2015.

                "Clearly, pension costs are the No. 1 financial issue going on in the county and our No. 1 labor objective in labor negotiations," Gioia said.

                Public safety employees account for more than 63 percent (340 members) of $100,000-plus pensions.

                Managers take the biggest public safety pensions, said the Contra Costa firefighters union president.

                "As for rank-and-file firefighters, we pay a lot into retirement," said Vince Wells, president of the Contra Costa firefighters union. He said he pays 26 percent of his salary into his retirement.

                "For police, fire, teachers, nurses ... for what they actually provide the community it's very well deserving that they are taken care of after they're done working," he said.

                Many top earners also spiked their pensions -- adding unused vacation and unused sick pay, among other pay perks -- to increase their final salary calculations, increasing their lifelong retirement payments.

                In one of the most publicized Contra Costa examples, No. 1 pensioner Bowen, who retired at 51, went from a final year base salary of $222,507 to a starting pension of $283,958 annually. His pension could cost taxpayers almost $8.5 million over the next three decades.

                "We can't solely blame spikers -- it's the boards who continue to pass the policies," Hunt said.

                    Ohhh. I get it. Instead of spending 1000's of hours playing soccer , with the payoff being a 40,000 wpsa salary and no pension or a 80,000 MLS salary and no pension, the kids should instead join the young democrats club in HS and college and spend a few hours campaining for their favorite left wing candidate, in hopes they can land one of these government jobs when they graduate. Good idea.

                      This is spam. Ok...the thread deviate from soccer but what does this story about a CA town have to do with this thread, this state , or this coast?

                      Someone moved an irrelevant post from another thread to the politics thread and this one belongs there too. I'll warn you that there is somebody over there mopping the floors with posts like this. Its pretty amusing.

                              http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2010/...ue-to-prosper/

                              The Bureau of Economic Analysis has released its annual data on compensation levels by industry. The data show that the pay advantage enjoyed by federal civilian workers over private-sector workers continues to expand. This state of affairs is a thumb in the eye of the private sector, which continues to struggle with high unemployment. Many private sector employees have been forced to take pay and benefit cuts while continuing to fund generous federal employee compensation with their taxes.

                              Figure 1 looks at average wages. In 2009, the average wage for 1.95 million federal civilian workers was $81,258, which compared to an average $50,462 for the nation’s 101 million private sector workers (measured in full-time equivalents). The figure shows that the federal pay advantage (the gap between the lines) continued its steady increase over the past decade.

                              http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/wp-co...ven101_new.jpg

                              Figure 2 shows that the federal advantage is even more remarkable when worker benefits are included. In 2009, federal worker compensation averaged a whopping $123,049, which was more than double the private sector average of $61,051.

                              http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/wp-co...ven102_new.jpg

                              The disparity between average federal and private employee compensation has risen dramatically over the decade: from 66 percent in 2000 to 101 percent in 2009. Defenders of generous federal employee compensation point to the higher levels of education in the federal workforce. However, it’s doubtful that education accounts for the growing disparity between federal and private compensation.

                              Figure 3 shows that federal employees also enjoy much greater job security (data is from Table 18 here). In 2009, a private sector employee was more than three times more likely to be laid off or fired than a federal employee.

                              http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/wp-co...ven103_new.jpg

                              A good indicator of the adequacy of federal compensation is the quit rate. Figure 4 shows that in 2009, private sector employees quit at a rate that was more than eight times higher than federal employees (data is from Table 16 here). This indicates that federal employees recognize that the generous combination of wages, benefits, and job security is hard to match in the private sector, so they stay put.
