OFFSHORING IS GENOCIDE. And don't forget it.
We can let our hearts bleed all they want. But when it's our turn, who'll be left driving the bloodmobile?

2. Why do you say that? Let me remind you of a few facts:
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 05:44 PM by HypnoToad
First of all, keep this in mind:

No job = no money.

No money = no gas.

No money = no housing payment.

No money = no food.

No money = no water.

No money = no electricity.

No money = no garbage removal.

No money = no insurance payments.

No money = no new clothing.

No money = no ability to clean clothing.

No money = no ABILITY TO LIVE.

In short, no money = NO LIFE.

How's that for hyperbole, huh?! (and I bet that you could even think of a few things if you tried too! :bounce: )

Just you try joblessness for a few months and tell me otherwise. :eyes:


Oh, if you're Grizzly Adams or a caveman who time travelled to 2000, you might know how to survive via nature's intent. However, most of us have nary a clue... it's the ultimate prison we made for ourselves.

3. genocide is the ultimate evil
and using it casually, as you did, is indeed hyperbole. Do you think the relatives of those who did suffer genocide would place unemployment in the same category? Yes, I have been unemployed. I cannot say it's anything like being murdered.
