]]> Comment on chacha guide story by Elijah http://spartan2012.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/chacha-guide-story/#comment-424 Elijah Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:08:52 +0000 http://spartan2012.wordpress.com/?p=79#comment-424 I am also a guide for ChaCha and for a short time after the pay decrease I would have agreed with you. I beg that you don't jump to hasty conclusions about the intentions or integrity of ChaCha's business. It's sort of a joke to compare them to a North Korean prison camp, don't you think? It takes such a serious tragedy so lightly when comparing it to a contracted job that you can sit at home in your pj's and do while you are vegging out watching tv. The few news stories you pulled were not only misinterpreted but you also blew them out of proportion. there are plenty of stories that accurately portray chacha, the fault lies on the news agency for not checking their facts. My thoughts on guides that get deactivated is that it sucks but chacha has every right. If they are complaining about chacha why do they want to work there anyways? They arenot running short of guides obviously, so i say strip the fat. You are basing all of your knowledge on hearsay of a few guides that got ticked for being deactivated. Your assumption of chacha's "plan" makes no logical business sense for anyone, it just sounds like ranting. If you were to find some CURRENT news stories you would see that they are in a good position to challenge google for #1, hardly a sign of a crappy business plan if you ask me. By the end of your rant it sounds like chacha actually did come through and pay the disgruntled guide regardless of the hate mail, even sending the explanation asked for. I guess I don't see the problem with chacha. I'm a guide and your post makes me feel defensive about it because I enjoy being a guide and making extra money. I've never had a problem with chacha. I wish you would get your facts straight. I am also a guide for ChaCha and for a short time after the pay decrease I would have agreed with you.

First, you need to add a period at the end of the About Me page. You also need to capitalize the word "China." You also need to change the "whose" at the top of the page to "who's."

Before the quantum theory was introduced, all physicists thought that the future could be predicted exactly if they knew all the forces and matter and positions of matter in the universe. The quantum theory, however, stated that it was impossible to know all this. Einstein may have denied the quantum theory with his famous quote, "God does not play dice with the universe." However, quantum mechanics is a very well-tested theory, and modern scientists (such as Stephen Hawking) agree with it. I’d have to disagree.
