Uh, you make it look like an accident by NOT shooting them. (don't quit your day job to take up hitting for a living) As far as how this relates to the economy? Who knows, I didn't start the thread. I was just commenting that the Barrett rifle was not the best tool for assassinations...

Using a Barrett http://www.barrett.net/ would be very impractical for all but the most difficult jobs. The things weigh 30lbs unloaded and in all practicality you would rarely need the punch provided by a .50BMG rifle. A good .300 winchester bolt action would do any long range sniping work...

2,000,000 manufacturing jobs gone in the past two years. Over 1/3 of our manufacturing jobs lost in the past ten years. This has little to do with the housing bubble.

I don't think the majority of Americans realize just how screwed this economy is. The 2,000,000+ manufacturing jobs lost in the past two years are gone forever. 2/3rds of the jobs created since the declared "end" of the recession are in the "part time economy" (jobs paying in the 20k range) as...

No, the "99'ers" are not getting an extension. "99'er" as defined by having already collected 99 weeks of unemployment. They are discussing funding the federal unemployment payments for those in weeks 27 through 99 (in some states) which expired on November 30th.As of November 30th, if your...

Yes, the social security/medicare is a DIFFERENT government ponzi scheme totally unrelated to unemployment benefits. :D

I don't get the whole fascination and worship of British royalty here in America. It's pitiful that people even take note of it.

If this site had a "farmville" it would be worth billions!:D

I just don't see the valuation, is there any way to get a look at the financials? I would like to see the income statement and the cash flows just for shits & grins. I really don't think the 25 billion dollar figure would be justified by reality. BTW- I just deleted my facebook account. I...

Uh, but wouldn't 14 dollars an hour then become 7?

You should have engaged him and ask what a musicologist does. Seriously, did he think that would get him a job???????

How long would it take for a 55 year old former factory worker with a GED to retrain & join a Start up dealing with International Freight and Global Trade? LOL- THAT is who is unemployed right now- low skilled older workers who had their job off shored or just eliminated. Some may never work...

A large majority of the people who have been out of work longer than six months are over fifty years of age. Sad fact is that employers will avoid older workers if given an alternative. The large number of manufacturing jobs that have been lost had a lot of unskilled older workers just...

No DrPepper, I am not unemployed. If you look at the original post I made, I agreed that we can't pay people unemployment forever. I only commented because your original post was such an inane and clueless comment. It is as if you don't have a clue as to the current situation in this country. I...

I am amazed that someone who is an active member of a trading/economic forum could be so clueless about the economic reality of our current situation. (yes, another insult) What part of five unemployed for every job opening is so difficult to comprehend? Have you not noticed the 460,000+...

Better yet, if you were a minimum wage EMPLOYER would you hire a 50 year old MBA to flip burgers? The answer is no. I wouldn't, I want someone who will work for peanuts, doesn't know labor law and isn't a threat to my position.

If you only realized how ignorant your statement appears to be. Your analogy that you see Hispanics working and therefore jobs must be plentiful is laughable and at the same time pathetic. I agree that indefinite extensions of unemployment is not a good idea. All the other drivel you posted...

You couldn't pay me enough to deal with those little bastards every day. I hate kids. It isn't that I want to see any harm come to them but I just hate being around them, they give me headaches and they smell bad.

Sorry for not including this in my original reply. Did you realize that America has lost OVER 1/3 of its manufacturing jobs over the past ten years? What jobs have replaced these manufacturing jobs? Service jobs that pay considerably less. There is NO PLAN to replace the jobs lost with...

It didn't seem to have the efeect you claim it will when it was standard operating procedure BEFORE NAfTA.
