I have been unemployed before, when I moved from Miami to Puerto Rico about 6 or 7 years ago. My brother fired me (personal problems back then) but gave me unemployment. Used it for about 6 months as jobs in Puerto Rico in my small town was hard to come by, but thanks to my sister I eventually found a decent part time.
If I gonna bust my balls to earn a check so that someone else can get paid while staying home for 4 or 5 years with the excuse that there are no jobs (BTW, 8 people have been hired where I work it the last few months and at my wifes job they hire almost on a weekly bases, just an example), then I want to stay home too. After all, I got a 3rd child on the way, and I don't even qualify for welfare, foodstamps of medicaid even though I only make about $11 an hour and my wife makes about $10.
I love how it's called extensions when it's obvious they had this planned all along as another "here's a 20% discount with every purchase" sales pitch to get people to like Obama and ignore the failures. This is no longer unemployment, it's welfare. I should know, my parents were on welfare when i was young. Hell, I was the family interpreter for the welfare office. I have had unemployment and let me tell you while it's great to have a back up plan such as this even I know this can not
I had a 93 Toyota Corolla about 6 years ago. One time we were driving on the I-75 heading from Miami to Naples, most of the road is only 4 lanes with a fence about 15 feet from the road on each side and swamp for miles. Basically no where for cops to hide. I thought I would give the car a test run to see how fast I could get it. The car only marked about 100 mph, I was able to get it to about 93 or 94 for a couple of minutes. It was very exhilarating but also scary. Ironically I zoomed by a P
Very nice KFC, much better than my article (shameles plug) on my blog. This is a day to remember that it's more than a BBQ, a day of sales and a day off from work (in this case the following day). It's to remember what it stands for and who made it happen. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote]You're the one with race issues , not me. You seem to be the one blinded by racial loyalties to demand a judge who speaks and interprets correct English.

Not sure where you get racial loyalties, I like people for who they are not what country they come from or the color of their s

If I'm not mistaken, Steele is on the same catapult that Pelosi and Reed are on. You know, the one the Conservative movement has it's hands on the release lever.
OK, so I have finally decided to make the leap to my own blog on Blogger.com after spending so many years on Joeuser. While I like using Joeuser for blogging, I’ve been wanting something new, with more features and more personal. Blogger gives me the ability to make my blog site look the way I want it to look and is also more plug-in and widget friendly than many other sites. I won’t be leaving Joeuser immediately as my new blog will not be as out there as my Joeuser blog is right now
I lived in Jersey as a teen close to Edison. The Indian (or Hindu as we knew them) population was not enormous from what i saw at the time but there were a lot of them. This kind of situation can be seen sort of a "clash of cultures" where people of both cultures (American and Indian) are accustom to to their own cultures but when faced with a different culture they may find it offensive sometimes. I, personally, admit that when I lived in Jersey I avoided stores owned by Indians

Shame on those people. Regardless of like or dislike, such comments are unnecessary, childish, disrespectful and down right disgusting. I may dislike someone but I would never wish them death nor be happy they dead, except maybe a child or woman rapist or a mass murderer. Just in case, this is not me being a smart-ass or anything, this is my true sentiment. But BTW, 2 wrongs don't make a right even if 2 negatives do make a positive so your attempt at "fighting fire with fire" is actual
[quote]so much for providing a date/time to establish a reference point in a ongoing conversation.[/quote] To establish what? You nit picked a section of comments to make it seem like it was not a cesspool? I looked at the same comments you did from the same date and pretty much the same time. i was actually smart enough to read from the fist comments as oppose to the last ones. So it seems to me your lame replies are but dust spewing out of that old, dusty, outdated brain of yours.</p
Not sure what story king (lol) bee was reading but reading from the first of 40 comments before I stopped reading, 29 didnt think he was dying fast enough and thought he deserved worse, 5 felt bad and thought the crazy left were in full force and 6 had comments that went either both ways are did not exactly point to one side or the other more. Seems to be this was more of a leftwing cesspool than the old bee cares to admit. Not that i would expect him to admit the truth, it wouldn't be
I've never understood why people feel the need to insult religious people and categorize them as nutjobs. I believe in God but I am not one of those who goes around as if I did not have a job and try to convince the world that without Jesus or God you have no future after death or what ever. I would consider them annoying but if that is what they want to believe that's fine, I can't take that away from them. But I won't call them crazy. I have no right to treat them this way and I would not w
I am in favor of Arizona enforcing current immigration laws if the federal Gov't refuses to do it's job. But I can not accept the idea of children being born in the US having their citizenship removed just because they parents are illegal immigrants. If the law states they are citizens then they are citizens. To change this to make exceptions not only opens the door to lawsuits but it will make the whole purpose of the amendment useless as will bring about a resurgence of racist arguments and

What bugs me the most is that not only are they stating they will do one then and the do the opposite (like in this case) but that they are doing so openly in the publics eyes and it's as if they are not doing anything wrong to them. Hire a guy who's against illegal immigration enforcement to head ICE, promote fair wages assistance for illegals while stating that employers are not to hire illegals on their own site, hire a guy who doesn't pay his own taxes to head the IRS? What else can this

“ The Obama administration has tapped an outspoken critic of immigration enforcement on the local level to oversee and promote partnerships between federal and local officials. Harold Hurtt, a former police chief in Houston and Phoenix, has been hired as the director for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Office of State and Local Coordination. Starting July 6, Hurtt will supervise outreach and communication between ICE, local law enforcement agencies, tr

[quote]You missed my second point. By working for the low wages, they are depriving legal Americans from work. Legal Americans CANNOT work for less than minimum wage even if they want to! I do not blame the illegals for that, after all, $5/hr still beats 10 cents an hour any day. But it is the employers fault and crime, and they should be prosecuted to the max![/quote] Oh no, I agree with punishing the employers, but I blame the illegals for coming here illegally even if they did i
I agree that if you worked you should get paid a fair wage. I can't agree with them working an honest day because they are working illegally and that to me is not honest, still they should get what is fair. But again, they are working illegally and were willing to work for the amount so in a sense what exactly is fair at this point when we are talking about illegal workers? How does one reward a criminal? They should not have been working in the first place and they should not have accepted s
Illegal Immigrants; you would think that meant something bad since it has the word “illegal” in it. But according to Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, illegal immigrants should also be protected under the Labor Laws that protect legal citizens rights to fair wages even though by law they should not even be employed in the first place. But you don’t have to take my word for it, hear it from the mouth of the moron herself: <param name="m
