How am I wrong? The definition clearly states that.

People called me an employee, I retorted with, if I'm an employee, most of you are too.

Thanks for hopin in Tera.

yes, you are... by definition, you are... Don't fight with me, fight with websters...

Just because you "think" you aren't, doesn't mean you aren't... By definition, you are... Petition fucking websters, or get a grip.

blah blah blah motherfucking blah

Drew my truck needs a washing

Get to it

I mean we all know SIC is a third class crap company, does not amaze me that they have garbage working for them.

lol

The wash would cost you more than that Ford POS you're driving...

Shit, dont that cracka' know he's white?

drew, will you ask brad if he has any email lists forsale? I will split the revenue from the list with you if you can get me a deal.. :)

:helpme

If I am an employee, please tell me - who is my employer? And don't say I am. Yes, you could make the argument that if I am my own employer, then I am also my own employee, but that's pretty weak. If that's true, then *every* working person in the world is an employee, and I suspect that is not what you meant when you said most of the people on this board are employees. If that is what you mean, then your "you're just an employee" comment (way back in the beginning) was pretty weak - since you apparently think everyone is just an employee.

I agree that YOU are an employee, but I stand by my statement that I am NOT. I work. I decide what work I do. I set my hours. I answer to no one.

word

Why is it all of you guys that work from home have some sort of ego over this?

Does ANY company send you a check for work completed? Whether that work is referring someone to their company, its still work..

That $35 p/s, what exactly is that? It's paying you for the time, energy, and traffic you sent to that company. You are a SALES REP for them, get over yourselves... You guys are using employment as some sort of offense against me.

Let me ask you this, do you get multiple 1099's every year?

Do you have get taxes taken out of your checks? How about health insurance paid from them? No?

Neither do I. So if it makes you feel better about being able to tell your friends you are self employed, then go for it.

The definition speaks for itself.

I guess its time to break out the dicks and rulers.

you're still here?

:winkwink:

So, I guess since I promote AdultPlatinum, that means I work for Adult.com? Cool. Now where the hell is my golf shirt and my Cheshire???

The act of making money does not make someone an employee. You said yourself: An employee is "a worker who is hired to perform a job."

No one that sends my COMPANY (not me, anyway) checks, has HIRED me to perform a job.

So there you have it. Case closed.

I need to know exactly when and where you two will be first meeting each other in Vegas. I REALLY don't want to miss it. You guys should go ahead and set up a time and location.... a "date," if you will.

drew knows who his daddy is...

Better you chose to make cash off referrals on GFY for a living, than schoolteaching... =)

hehe, classic thread

and "A person who works for another in return for financial or other compensation"

Where's your defense there? You can't defend your case half assed, use both definitions.

you ever thought that I am paying sextracker in traffic, to send me money? So maybe they work for me? lol

Im going to beat your fucking ass you fucking idiot.

by looking at this thread it seems that Vegas will be fun!!!

Can't wait

Sorry, I missed that definition.

My defense: I DON'T WORK FOR ANOTHER! Yes, I receive compensation from others, but not for my work. If the work I do for myself happens to make them money too, that doesn't mean I am working for them.

I suppose when you walk into a McDonalds, you are looking at a bunch of YOUR employees, right? I mean, those people are working for you, by preparing and serving you fast food, right?

Don't raise your voice with me...

If you looked up earlier, I agreed with amp... I said definition says this, common sense says this...

Id go with common sense over definition, to each their own tho... You can't dismiss the point, you can definitely take the more logical stance on it though

Is this a good place to take a piss?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Merriam-Webster

Employee

2 : to devote to or direct toward a particular activity or person <employed all her energies to help the poor>

Hahah. Don't you understand there's a difference between "working for someone" (as in that Webster definition) and selling a product, be it a Bigmac or an adult design for a paysite?

There's nothing wrong with the webster definition, but you don't even understand what is meant by "working for someone". That knowledge would be required in order to understand the definition in the first place..

LOL

Websters is great :winkwink:

You just wasted 10 seconds of my time, and a fraction of a cent of Len's money...

You owe both of us an apology, next time, please respond with something that makes sense, because your retort is the most idiotic thing I've ever read.

I understand the definition just fine, you're wrong, I'm not the stubborn one, because I understand the definition just fine, you can try and riverdance around it all you want, but thats just it... people who make have a higher IQ than you created that definition...

Call yourself the queen of england... still doesn't do anything for your defense of the definition.

you are a homo

:winkwink:

I must say Drew....GREAT PUBLICITY....Brad would be proud! :thumbsup

See how long you can keep this thread going with these idiots...and make sure your sig line has our new Bum Circus and Gay Glory Hole feeds!!

I better get back to work now before Brad cracks the whip on me :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

You should apologize to whoever is your employer because he wasted his money on you...

Let's assume you sell traffic to a sponsor. Are you his employee? No way. This is common sense- we agree. But you also say that by the definition from dictionary.com we all actually "work for another" and are, thus, employees. I disagree.

If I sell traffic to a sponsor, i don't work FOR him. I work FOR myself and I'm selling the product of my work to ANOTHER. Notice the difference between working for ANOTHER and working for YOURSELF.


How the hell is the education in USA anyways? Did someone say you're a college graduate? LOL

Erm, just keep telling yourself that Mika...

You work on a commission basis, which implies employment by definition. Rather than selling traffic at a set price per "traffic" you are receiving comission for once someone signs up.

By that argument you could say that you are selling traffic it the price is set, and doesn't require any further action by the person you sent...

So I guess someone that does per click proggies solely could argue that, but you unless you do, you can't.

You can keep responding here, with what everyone else has already said, or you could attempt to come up with some intelligent thought, because I'm just repeating myself to yet another idiot here.

Like I said, by common sense, you aren't an employee, by definition you are...

How about you bother to read all the posts, before commenting? my guess is you got through the first page, lost direction, saw a fluffy bunny run across the screen, and then attempted to retort with something that made sense, not realizing 10 other people said the same thing, and were responded to.

My guess is you have a small penis... It may be easier and more beneficial for you to go to http://www.penispills.com or buy a porsche, than try and impress people here with what you think is intelligent banter.

And yes, I have a college degree.

Hey Drew,
Thought you were doing pretty good on your own.. (being announced as a major sponsor's best converting reseller and all) so why now working for someone instead? Gives you a peace of mind or what? When did you join Shaw Internet neways?

Seems to me like this thread was also started cos someone was too darn bored :(

Damn, I was annouced as a sponsors best converting reseller and missed it? Care to fill me in? Hehe...

Actually, it's more of a respect thing... I'm really not in this business because I'm fiending for cash or I "want to make it big", I do well enough at my day job... I just have ADD and hate to be bored and sit at home doing nothing... =)

I like Brad, and the gang at Shaw, and Kimmy and I have been friends for a long while... I jumped at the chance to work for em. =)

Hope my life story helps a bit, LOL. =) Good seein ya seven.

I have two alternatives

1. If people like you get a college degree in USA, it is highly possible that people who are almost as stupid as you also get to create the definitions

2. By defining a word you define it WITH use of other words. Dude, you should check the definitions for words such as "for" and "another" and maybe you will understand

Erm, again you made absolutely no sense...

The definition stands, and I am technically right, why don't you stop trying to fight it? You already lost.

Now go sit in a corner, with your superior european education, and your small finnish dick.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Hey...You Guys...I can vouch for DrewKole...hes a great guy.

Why just the other night he was looking at something about animals....not sure what that word is called...I didnt go to college :1orglaugh

But I swear its not true...

Hey DrewKole....where is this months child support???

Lost what? I don't think we were playing a game here which could be won or lost

If you wanna play , I will gladly measure my IQ against yours and dick size, too (because you seem to think it's relevant to this discussion). I know for a fact I couldn't lose in both, it could be tie, though, if you have a goddamn monster cock
