John Frieh Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey....can you guys start your own stupid thread about who has the biggest dick instead of ruining a perfectly good spray thread about beating your kids......jeez!!!!

ericb Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Wasn't talking about size, eric. Was talking about rankings, which in ENR are based upon annual revenue. If you ain't raking in the revenue, then one can extrapolate that to conclude that you ain't doing much work. If you ain't doing much work, mebbe there's a reason for that... A firm can make a bunch of money with their government services business (Fema Contracts for instance)....doesn't mean the local Seattle office knows how to design a parking garage.

sobo Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Old Joke Warning... Q: What's the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers? A: Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are you looking at just that one data point? Surely, a firm that was ranked #1 on ENR's list must be able to do something right, no? So eric, I did a some quick Googling and came up with this from Sound Transit's page. Design errors in the concrete beams, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TREETOAD Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 There is always a better way to change a kids behavior than violence. You just have to have the patience and intellect to use it. Sometimes very difficult to do, especially when you have been hit as a child, and the heat of anger gets the better of you. In public you need to remove the child from the situation first, and calm yourself down, then deal with it. In Kevbones' sitch it is difficult to interpose without causing a problem with the abusive parent, and difficult to let it happen, especially when you know there is a better way. The gut reaction is to make it stop. Perhaps saying someting to the child, is better than talking to the adult. Something like "That must hurt!" I don't know, just a thought.

hafilax Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I think it's an extension of Pavlov conditioning without much basis in reality. If the monkeys can figure out that they will get sprayed they can also figure out that they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
