2. Huh?

People are protesting the unnecessary loss of life and you bring up some issue regarding the unemployment rate? Are you saying Germany should have gone to war so that there would be less unemployment? I'm trying to find some logical thought process in your remark.

3. With all that unemployment apparently they have enough time to

protest. Americans, apparently, are too busy slaving away for minimum wage. What's your point? I'd rather be unemployed than working at Walmart.

6. What's wrong with protesting?

Thousands enjoy doing that.

How is your job there?

13. Wal-Mart pays its workers so little

that we the taxpayer end up paying them a supplement in the form of food stamps and by having higher insurance premiums because they can't pay medical bills when they get sick. (Wal-Mart does not offer health insurance to its workers)

14. Touche!

A freeper is always more worried about unemployment and social program costs overseas rather than at home.

16. Anyone who has to ask "what's wrong with walmart?"

has no intention of a 'thought process' to begin with. I agree with your citing the town hall meeting as a good example. There are many in this country who are still fascinated with quantity and have no concept of quality. "Three jobs! Wow, that's great. What a prosperous country we live in when a person cannot only have one job, but three!"

5. Germany is protesting * telling them what to do.

The Germans are very happy with the current situation in Germany. They have universal health care and education, excellent transportation, world class scientists and research institutions and an a diverse culture.

I would suggest that * and the Republicans spend their time doing something about American jobs and social programs other than destroying them.

8. Actually the European community has not tried to 'hide' the depression

from their people by going to war. A lack of jobs will be an American thing in a few years. When Bush's War ends and America actually has to do what the entire Western world will be doing: maturing gracefully. The whole BRIC thing: Brazil, RUSSIA, India & China (and now perhaps Iran because of the wonderful Bush policies) will run jobs away from the traditional Western powers.

Europeans are actually taking their 'medicine' in a timely fashion and thus avoiding an even bigger depression. The USA has 'skipped' over its depression by going to war. And when the bills come due..they will have to be paid 5 times over.

So be a snob and laugh at the EU. They are getting over themselves and will be ready and lean to fight and succeed and be respected in the New World order while.. if freepers have their way ... America will be in a huge recession but happily opiated not by Afghanistan, but by Patriotism. Making sure that America does not 'deal with reality' for another decade... and knowing full well that cost will be paid by the workers & the poor, George Bush goes to Europe and LECTURES THEM on how to keep their house in order.

What a fool!

10. And yet they choose to protest a lying warmonger instead.

Where are their priorities! To be concerned about the well being and lives of someone other than themselves. The shame of it! :eyes:

12. They calculate unemployment differently than we do

apples and oranges

[Sanity Claws]

15. Correct

I understand that if the US measured unemployment the same way Germany did, the US rate would be about 18%

9. Luckily for them, they aren't getting a cowboy

They are getting a East Coast elitist who is afraid of horses.
