Better watch out vetivert, they used to kick people out of England for beliefs like that.
Hence, America was founded by people who thought working to death was as good an idea as any.
That and at the time of the American revolution only 10% of the population was free.
The rest were indentured servants or slaves. Other then the slave part, not much has changed.
Also, didn't women argue for equal work for equal pay.
Well at least the equal work part is true now.

screw being a girl to get a vacation, I can use one now,
do you have any Idea the stress a cranky girl can put on a man?
its a common thing, men have to deal with tons of crap, what makes girls any different to get better? even from the work place!?
enough of the being romantic just to please the girl when the man needs a break as well.
what is this? a womans world? by what I can see we all live on it.


blah!! !! !! !!

It's probably because working women do the majority of childcare and stuff like that. I work with someone who has kids, and she uses her vacation time for when her kids are out of school and she can't find a sitter.

Last I heard having kids was still a mutual decision.
Why are fathers not fulfilling their end of the bargain.
Women should not have to work 50+ hours a week then come home and take care of the house and the kids. Then spend all of their vacation time taking care of the kids.
Maybe its just the Irish in me, but I get upset when men don't carry their weight at home with domestic choirs, help with the kids, and don't help their wives take much needed vacations.
