里根当年反对所有的civil rights bills, 连 Civil Rights Act of 1964 都反对,
当时在美国的华人倒霉了吗?
川普比 里根温和多了。
小黄左 真是一群窝囊废啊。
This was also the decade in which the civil rights bills that ended
legalized racism were passed ... and Reagan was on record opposing all of
them, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965
and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

A new Washington Post ABC News poll shows that two thirds of Americans
support same-sex civil unions, whereas 47% support same-sex marriages.
According to thePost, “Civil unions draw broader support. Two-thirds now
say they favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to form civil unions that

Lingle: Civil Unions Like Incest
By Julie Bolcer
Hawaii governor Linda Lingle, who vetoed her state’s civil union bill last
week, said in a radio interview that the issue no more involves civil rights
than the question of whether close relatives should be allowed to marry.
The Honolulu Civil Beat reports on the comments made in the Republican’s
first radio interview since the Wednesday veto. She spoke Thursday morning

这新品种叫西瓜啦。这时候,有些瓜农不干了,说:这个东西不能叫西瓜

来自主题: JobHunting版 - 来,来,给学civil的打打气
感觉上,一般说来学civil的中国学生如果进咨询企业,要毕业3、4年,考过了PE才算能真正拿起来了。当然在国内大设计院,或者是外资咨询机构工作过的要好得多。不过如果语言好有交流技巧,直接进施工企业就啥都不用学了,当然过两年也就基本上啥都不懂了。
至于需要3、4年的原因,我想一是受资源限制导致我们在国内的训练偏理论而不实用,我认识的人里,学了一堆力学而没怎么做过像样的实际项目的不算少,二是国内训练面窄,比较专;除了理
论基础课那5、6门力学和钢混/结构设计等专业基础课相通之外,国内土木类的各专业
,课程很少重叠的,最后就是算房子的不会算桥,算桥的不会处理地下管线,而会弄管
道的又不知道如何处理道路交叉口配时等搞笑场面。
而作为传统产业,civil在米国咨询业的position涉及的面广内容多。除了结构分析这
样的基本功,环境啊,交通啊,电工啊什么的都要多少懂一点,隔行如隔山,所以有个
比较长的熟悉和学习的过程,结果就是学civil的学得又多工资又低。

干嘛呀?这么快就落井下石?谁说Civil不行,再过一段时间,建筑的寿命到了,civil
自然会热起来。再有,向transportation这种方向,以后会越来越好的。时间成本会随
着社会的发展越来越贵,于是transportation也就越来越重要。从这个角度上看,土木
的这个方向还是有前景的。IT产业就好吗?个人觉得美国的金融危机就和资金在某些局
部过热集中有关系。IT市场已经达到它的上限了,而civil的第二春说不定也要来了。

Judging by today’s festivities the war has already begun.
Jimmy Hoffa, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters,
said Tuesday he expects Michigan unions and lawmakers to break out into “
civil war” after the state legislature passed right-to-work bills that
would weaken unions’ power. “This is just the first round of a battle that
’s going to divide this state. We’re going to have a civil war,” Hoffa
said on CNN’s “Newsroom.”
