Second can't deal with the fact that I've been shutting him down left and right. At least most of the time he just doesn't reply anymore, rather than quoting one sentence of what I've said and then posting a completely unrelated article.

Second doesn't debate. Second just talks to himself. He's said so several times himself.



All you and Wishy do T is throw baseless insults all of the time. Your ability to debate leaves a lot to be desired as well.



And by the way Wishy, we've been talking about jobs in here for quite a while. Unless you have anything worthwhile to add, please go back under your bridge.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Oh. Okay.

Nothing to reply but insults again, I see.

This is how it's going to be from now on then, huh T?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Here's an insight Jack. Recently you said you had posted really intelligent things. Recently Jack, you said recently. That is an admission that what you had been posting was not. So Jack, go back and reread the crap of the past and you will see it's as dumb as the shit you are posting currently.

Recently as in for the last nearly full year since I've been sober... Yanno, how nobody can forget that I used to be a drunk since you bring it up every 4 posts or so.

I back up any post I've written in 2017.

Care to try posting again to me without an insult, T?


I'm beginning to think that it's impossible for you to do.

"Even as most out-of-work Indiana residents are finding job opportunities, though, wage growth has remained sluggish in Indiana." ... but having a job is what counts- G

BECAUSE, as I posted before, you can work for one hour that month and still be counted as "employed". - SIGNY

Who The F*ck works for an hour a month???

Someone who can't find any other job. People in the "gig" economy: Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit. Yanno, people who don't have any other options. People YOU apparently wouldn't know anything about, in your very comfortable life.

Talk about manipulating data/facts to prove a slanted agenda.
Bullshit. I'm simply repeating WHAT THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATS says about its own metrics.
You?
You're just a liar.

Quote:

You're such a habitual "fudger" of reality that you don't even know you're doing it - it's become a reflex for you.- G
Yes, indeed: You are.

Here's some more slant:

Quote:

"Having a job" is NOT "all that counts", if that job only pays you $100/ week and comes without benefits.- SIGNY


$100 a week?????? What job would that be? A 40 hour job? a 1 hour job? Who would work a 40 hour job that only paid $100??

Damnit G, are you being stupid ON PURPOSE??? I KNOW people who're making only $100 a week. NO, it's not a 40-hour job! That's the point! Barristas. Walmart greeters. Part-timers. "Independent contractors" and "freelancers". People who work in nursing homes. Lawn-mowers. People on Social Security who need to make a money under the table. There are hundreds and hundreds of kinds of jobs that are part time, where the pay is very low and/or unreliable.

I PERSONALLY know a person who worked in security who only got "overflow" work. Someone who worked as a freelance technical editor who got about four or five papers a month. Another person who was a part-timer at a florist shop. Yet another person who worked at an adult daycare center. A motorcycle mechanic who was regularly unemployed in winter. A homeless man who does gardening for $100. An under-the-table oddjobber/ handyman.

Please explain that pile of STINKY BS.
Yes indeed, please explain YOUR pile of stinky BS.

I lived thru that, I have a very close relative who's struggling with that (and to whom I regularly send "care packages"), and a lot of other people on the board are dealing with that situation right now. And you would know about it too, if you ever had to face the reality of being underemployed, Mr. 0.01%.- SIGNY

Serious question: How would you know what I've lived through? I expect an answer. Not answering will show you lie like Trump. Answering will show you make negative ass-umptions (lies) because that's the only way you can hope to make your lame ass points.- GSTRING

Because IF YOU HAD LIVED THRU HAVING TO EKE OUT A LIVING ON MINIMAL PART TIME JOBS, you wouldn't question their existence. Since I know people PERSONALLY who're living thru that situation right now, I know for a fact that they do exist.

Quote:

But, by all means, YOU focus on Russia.- SIGNY

Ummmm, hon, did you not notice that YOUR comrade Kiki started this thread - did you see the title? "Let's focus on Russia!" Can you make yourself look any more idiotic? I don't think so!- GSTRING

Can YOU make yourself look more idiotic? Please don't pretend that this was a non-ironic title, because you'll either look very very stupid, or you'll look like a liar. (I vote for "liar" because I know for a fact that you are.)

All you've shown yourself to be is someone who is vastly removed from the travails and insecurities of ordinary life. So removed, you don't know anybody like that. So removed, you can't even accept that it happens. Really, I have no idea what kind of world you live in, but it's very,

Sure, I'll just post something from another thread addressing the issue of insulting posts towards others.

Really???

Jack:

"You'll have to answer that question for us, G. Which birthday did you just celebrate between the OP and this last post? Your 16th, or your 18th?"

"Were all the men in your family pieces of shit?"

"Do YOU think for yourself, or do you just let the MSM do all of your thinking for you now?"

"I figured this thread would get the troll to crawl out from whatever bridge she's been hiding under in those deep south Indiana bogs she shares with the other inbred hill people from Wrong Turn."

"G is free to feel as much guilt and shame as he wants to feel for being a male..."

"…She can't even give her husband a break. Even though he gives her bung sex which she craves..."

"Flame on, ultra-bitch."

"This thread title and the OP that followed it were childish."

Maybe you should take your own advice: "Check yourself before you wreck yourself, princess."

==============================



All this from the guy who's posted to many times to count that others insult him but he insults no one. To funny G, to funny.

What a moron and liar this guy is. What do you suppose he'll say in response to these facts G. I'm thinking he'll deal with them much the same way as he deals with facts about Trump.

Your link leads to some very insightful thoughts.

Every sentence you type is STINKY make believe fantasy land. I used to be a waiter, 5 years, remember? Or do you only keep track of what you say? And because I know people too - some people don't want to work more. They're ok with working less and making less. JUST ASK JACK. You think he's working a 40 hour week for that $250 a week? No? So he has time for another job if he wants to - and there are jobs to be had. It's not easy, it's not fun, applying for work is even a little scary for some people, but they are there.
You've argued yourself into a corner again. = GSTRING

Not at all.

First of all, you can only EXIST ON YOUR OWN on $100/week if you either live an incredibly impoverished existence - eg homeless or living like a hermit in a paid-for home - because there is no way that anyone could afford normal rent or a mortgage payment on that amount of money. People who HAPPILY accept those wages are being supported by someone else: Living in student housing on a loan, or for which mom and dad are paying; living with mom and dad ... sometimes off mom/dad's Social Security; being supported by a husband or wife; working while collecting Social Security; or bumming room and board from friends

... because there's no way in hell that $100 is a "living wage".

Secondly, my point is that people who work only one hour a month ARE COUNTED AS EMPLOYED. That's the fact, son.

Now, I happen to know real people who are eking out a living on incredibly skimpy wages, and SURELY you've passed a Walmart greeter or gotten a burger from fast-food place or bought a latte from somewhere, so arguing that those people or those jobs "don't exist" is either a complete denial of reality or a deliberate lie.
