YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

Che, may I make a polite suggestion. You have experience and obvous skill as an editor. Why don't you try getting a job in this area?

[Capt Dizle]

Funny thing as the pendulum swings right I find myself leaning left. Poly brainwashing?

Of course from where I started it will take a hell of a lot of leaning to get near the center.

No. Your problem Che is that you are well educated and can think. This means you cannot possibly be an extremist.

Always.

I hadn't really thought about it. As a technical writer, I'm not qualified simply because it tends to put me to sleep. Editting for a paper or magazine might be interesting. Hmmmm. I'll look into it.

Why do you think I became an extremist. The truth doesn't set you free, it makes you crazy!

Everyone loves a commie on unemployment found defending himself from charges of soaking up the welfare. Can't help it Che.

Guess I had that coming.

Hey Che, I heard Rush needed an editor for his rag. Why don't you call into his show next week?

That is beauty of free speech. There is a lot of it here. The left has good arguments. So does the right. But after listening to each other, a consensus usually forms somewhere in the middle.

Er...right...

You said you were trying to look good. Care to make a poll on if that was successful?

The reason so many ppl are on unemployment right now, and the reason they are demanding extensions, is because they (the unemployed) all feel (a generalization) that they are too good to take those jobs that we (those who would clean a toilet) have been forced to take in order to support our families, pay our bills, and hopefully have enough money to buy a Swanson's T.V. Dinner for the whole gang at Christmas.

Actually, at least around San Diego, those kind of **** jobs usually have about 20-30 applicants for every available position. I know a lot of people who are taking those **** jobs paying less than a quarter their previous earnings, so sounds to me more like you've got some "I's po, but I shovel **** for a living so I'm better than you lazy rich bastards" hangup.

The harsh reality of it is, there are jobs to be had, and they do not pay enough so that the new Mercades won't get repo'd. Oh well!! Sucks for you, that's my attitude. You lived above your means for way too long, and now you must pay.

Ahhhh, jealous of our betters, are we?

You reap what you sew. I am sorry that all the pseudo-rich yuppies with ties in Washington didn't get what they want. Wha! Sell your damn house for what's worth, trade in your mercades for a Honda, and I guess the day at Spago's with have to be cancled.

I am sure this is a generalization, but I live in the heart of the Silicon Valley, and I see it. Heck, my negihbor is on unemployment, hasn't looked for a job in 6 months, just bought a Harley, and has the nerves to complain that he can't get unemployment until his Compensation Package runs out. What a schmuk.

It is ppl like this that really give the ppl who need a job, and need unemployment to help them, a bad name.

Yep, it's a generalization. If I drew unemployment now, it would pay about 15% of my net income. If my office manager got laid off and went from her current pay to unemployment, she'd lose about $1950.00 a month off her net pay.

BTW, how can your neighbor be on unemployment, but not get unemployment?

The underlining point is that unemployment insurance is just way too easy to exploit, and is therefore a bad system that should be eliminated all together.

Which is an interesting perspective, considering you don't pay a dime for it, employers do. And most employer organizations (US Chamber of Commerce, etc.) have no objections to it.

A little resentment there about your chosen economic situtation?

Maybe when you come back next Friday, you'll be a little bit more hesitant to threadjack for ****s and giggles, but for the next week, you're mine, boy. Time to get your mind right.
