    I could have assumed you had taken the time to do just that, Garth.

    I'm guessing she would have better luck selling drugs. That's just me though.

    They're not clairvoyant either.

    Other than gun-for-hire (military) pretty much any job field requiring a degree has far fewer positions than qualified applicants.

    Back when she started college the picture was much rosier for everybody.

    BTW, illegal aliens hold currently 8 million US jobs, many of them municipal government jobs, while 8 million legal immigrants and natural-born Americans lose their homes and/or die due to lack of income for health insurance, shelter, and food.

    With only 13 million people unemployed in the whole nation it is easy to see both the primary cause of our pain and also the road to economic recovery.

    Simply take back the jobs that were stolen and jail the criminals (creating even more jobs).

    Not true. STEM candidates are being imported because of the lack of qualified domestic candidates.

    If they are being imported, that's just the cover story for hiring them, not the real reason.

    Mainly it's because foreigners from certain countries will work for peanuts and let you abuse them.

    There is no job in America for which there is no available qualified American to fill.

    Not a single one.

    We jail way too many people already. Jails are a really bad vehicle for job creation. We need to set free, or kill, about 3/4ths of the prison population.

    Now that I think about it, there is a great way to raise revenue for the government: convict hunts. You set some convicts loose on a big ranch and collect big money from rich people for the privilege of shooting them and having their corpses taxidermied for the den.

    Some of these guys here have been raised in the church basement. They think drug dealers are some stereotype they see in media propaganda.

    Drug dealers are generally about 18, stoned, and far, far nicer than their conservative equivalent, e.g. the storeowner who sells things just as they do.

    He is confused, and this movement got knocked the F out. I love that the public has turned on these quacks.

    It's clear that 70% of the people aren't with the so-called 99%. Seems those people were busy stampeding each other to buy XBox at Walmart instead of shitting where they sleep in the park like a bum.

    Hmm...

    Physically attacking strangers in order to save $20 on a child's toy built by child slave-labor in China vs helping the poor by "walking a mile in their shoes".

    There's choices to be made everyday, and they define who you are.

    It sure wasn't the 1% who were shopping at Walmart.

    The morons inhabiting it on Black Friday come from many walks of life. There's one born every day, after all.

    They are not, nor do they have a snowball's chance in hell of ever becoming, the 1%.

    But, The WalMart family is the very epitomy of the 1%. Probably the most anti-American business in the history of America.

    In a nutshell.

    By F. Brinley Bruton, msnbc.com

    LONDON -- Veteran activist the Rev. Jesse Jackson compared the global anti-capitalist movement to the U.S. civil rights struggle, the battle against apartheid in South Africa and the fight for Indian independence during a visit to an Occupy camp in London on Thursday.

    "Jesus was an Occupier, born under a death warrant, a Jew by religion, born in poverty under Roman occupation," the two-time candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination told a crowd near Saint Paul’s Cathedral. "Gandhi was an Occupier, Martin Luther King was an Occupier, (Nelson) Mandela was an Occupier."


    Lots of Jesus-haters on this board.
