........and you wonder why metal fabrication work is being sent overseas or replaced by illegal Mexican laborers here in the USA.  I've actually seen the body bags being removed from a job site caused by idiots like these.  How come you hillbilly hicks refuse to wear GLOVES?  I saw Chinese welders overseas using wet rags for gloves.  Maybe you can try that?    Watch the videos on how Hillbilly welding gets people killed.  My favotite is the Redneck welding on the FULL propane tank.  All that was missing was the Rebel flag.  The guy filming was laughing himself silly.  I'm sure there's an oil rig out in the Gulf willing to hire both of them right now:

For what ever reason, you are bitter.  You have a voice on this forum for what ever it is that has made you this way.
It just needs to be in the right spot.
And thanks to the moderators for putting this in the proper place.

Dear Mr partBS i'm a hillbilly hick born and raised in east Texas took my first weldin test at 19 heli-arc 6" on a Arkansas bellhole are u followin me or am I over your head? I wear gloves too really tillman 850's . I think you are in over your own head because the reason for exporting work or importing labor is simply a money thing if you want to tell the truth. I think u probably to educated for your own good and can't weld yourself and u r jealous of the money that a real welder makes or u r a pus who can only fight on your keyboard because u keep pickin at us that weld for a living ain't gonna get u anywhere so shut up already u are showin us real welders how stupid inspectors or WTF ever u r . Go look at a book or a code and dream color a picture or whatever heck just try bein a help and less of a ******* that'll get u further . But if not I still hope u test me and look me out I gotta new T300 with your name on it!

please don't let this fn idiots comments talk for all inspectors. I for one don't give a damn what
flag you have on your welders cap , what kind of machines on your truck, what race , sex or age you are.
Your weld speaks for itself. many years ago i got thrown out of a southern calif gas company testing facility
for not having a guard on my 9" grinder. Was this the inspectors fault? I went out and bought a guard
returned an hour later . I was real pissed off when the welder in the truck next to me was grinding away
with no guard go figure sometimes you just can't win. Being young and dumb i chewed out the inspector
who promptly looked out my bottom coupon for being 1/2" to high off the ground even though i tacked my coupon on the existing Jig. Now when i work as an inspector i remember how unfairly i was treated  so
i treat every welder with the respect that they deserve and no matter how bad their test is i won't laugh or belittle them or their equipment

Half of those videos were of stupid kids messing around, not professional welders. Who hasnt done stupid things when they were young? The other half of the videos were of accidents, not necessiarly because of "redneck welders". And the one is a damn commercial about being safe!

Mr walker I hear ya.  He's just a nobody I think that's obvious. Maybe a CWI's helper I bet he knows nothing about api 1104 or B31.1 severe or D1.1 or asme. He is just a newbie and me and you will have to take these kinda people by the hand and pat there backs to burp them and feedem a bottle of milk at two and put a binki in his mouth lay him down for a nappy nap at three cause he didn't know that a standard work day isn't an eight hour day...

I read this somewhere, can't remember where so I can't give credit to the right person. But anyway it fit's in so many situations we all face everyday. Here it is. "Don't argue with stupid people, they drag you down to their level, and beat you with experiance". Words to live by. Tom

You got it pickupman!!

i love that one i am going to print that out with my label maker and put it on the bottom of the picture of my boss
Parent - - By DaveBoyer (*****) Date 10-24-2010 01:07
Another one to remember is: "There is no future in being right when the BOSS is wrong". Just don't put the picture where the boss has to see it often.
Parent - By grizzzly (**) Date 10-24-2010 04:26
i don't think he will notice
