Nevada GOP Senate Candidate: Unemployed are "Spoiled"

Porksandwich says...

Oh and Im not sure what job she is referring to where people make more money on unemployment than working, but long term unemployed were getting roughly 100 dollars every week after taxes unsure what you get paid if you have dependents and such..but if you're single 100 bucks a week. Regular unemployment only lasts so long, and extended benefits are only that 100 bucks a week. So 400 a month on unemployment. If she would have said welfare pays more than a job, I'd agree...specially if you're a single mom with 2-4 kids..can make enough to live in housing that people with steady jobs can't afford. Im going to say she's making shit up so "hardworking americans" will side with her, because if you're only making 400 a month take home you are below the poverty line. And I'd say most people will agree that being below the poverty line is not a good thing.

"Approximately 45% of Whites either strongly or somewhat approve of the movement. Of those, only 35% believe Blacks to be hardworking, only 45 % believe Blacks are intelligent, and only 41% think that Blacks are trustworthy. Perceptions of Latinos aren’t much different. While 54% of White Tea Party supporters believe Latinos to be hardworking, only 44% think them intelligent, and even fewer, 42% of Tea Party supporters believe Latinos to be trustworthy. When it comes to gays and lesbians, White Tea Party supporters also hold negative attitudes.

The Daily Show 12/14/09 - World of Warmcraft

crillep says...

Luckily we have google for people who don't get stuff. Here is a lobbyist. And here is a moneymaking scheme.

You can't deny this any more than you can deny global warming. Taxing oil makes little difference to the companies as the prices will go up, so you and I will be the ones paying for it. Whether or not warming is everything it's made out to be, the economic consequences cannot be ignored.>> ^MaxWilder:
I still don't get that argument that man made global warming is a moneymaking scam. As opposed to what? The trillions that are made annually by those honest, hardworking oil companies? If you follow the money on both sides of the argument, it's pretty damn clear who is trying to protect their assets.

An Anti-Libertarian (& Noam Chomsky) Critique

vairetube says...

Wow for once a british voice actually pissed me off. I think it's his apathetic tone.

I understand why people don't want to pay for services -- The misappropriation of funds due to lack of transparency, and the sheer size of the number of transactions, makes it impossible to really know anything.

It is not an insurmountable problem. I'm pretty sure you could do it with PeopleSoft and some fancy SQL work. If you could follow that 2 cents to where it goes, you could then make the claim it was wasted.

I'll never understand why people don't get the connection between the insane gas prices last year and taxes:

One is willing to pay a random, exorbitant increase...for nothing... but won't... if it specifically goes to local services. Transparency will take care of this problem. "wow i helped to fund that". Pride may well ensue.

The problem now is NO ONE knows anything about anything, at all, when it comes to where the money comes and goes. No one. Not the government, and certainly not citizens who barely have time to stop working long enough to watch the evening news.

It would be a true wonder we got this far on the backs of honest hardworking people... if those same people weren't purposely misinformed to allow perpetual abuse of their funds.

We all know generally where the problem is: Military spending and no bid contracts. But what can we do about it when fear is such a strong .. commodity... for the dishonest among us?

I for one, have conceptualized a "truth machine", which, while not detecting lying humans by their physiological responses... would capture, catalogue, and be able to cross index and recall data and facilitate only logical discourse between all people. It will put a stop to people who can speak with golden tongues, or contradict themselves and pretend they didnt, or who make illogical assertions based on fear, by allowing instant recall of data. It involves digital recording and an element of human indexing of data -- very similar to what we have on videosift, in that there is a wealth of data on many things that can be recalled to some extent to prove and strengthen positions. One must be able to say, NO that is WRONG. And here is irrefutably why.

A lofty goal, but then again I am a computer science major in an age of unprecedented techonological advancement. With Obama's encouragement of education and sciences, along with SSD technology and exponentially better and cheaper tech... the manipulation of data by the dishonest will come to an end. All people must be connected and able to access all data to make the best decision.

It will be done. Of course, a real truth machine would be cool too. Read the book of the same name. Really fucking great.

The girl who silenced the world for 6 minutes

14760 says...

Atleast someone(a kid)has a cause and she goes all out for it. I believe whatever she said reflect the world we live in today.It is the matter of needs, wants and desires. One's desire is achieved at the expense of others.

What the northern countries have is this western idea of equating success with having fame and fortune. This idea influence people from all over the world to be materialistic. People are obsessed with becoming rich -some choose to achieve it with sheer hardwork while others do it illegally. With money come luxury.Luxury like cars etc are not simply created just like that, plenty of resources are needed to create these stuffs. When there is a lack of resources, developers will look for it and exhaust it elsewhere normally in the Third World countries. The Third World countries cannot develop because their resources have been used up and with what money they gotten from it, is simply not enough to feed millions of their own people. Yes, it is true that the government is responsible for the development of it's own country but the cooperation of other governments matters too. Human actions influence other humans and in effect, their environment.

'Give up your luxury'..simply means live with what you have and do not ask for more. For when you desire more, you deprive others of their needs.

The Worlds Smartest Man Works in a Bar (Fascinating)

rottenseed says...

So if he's world's smartest man, why's he still blaming other people for him not reaching his potential?

I'll take the slightly above average, hardworking Darwin over a lazy genius bartender any fucking day.

McCain supporter on Obama: "You can have your Tiger Woods"

They've failed every molecule, chromosome, mouth, tooth and fly in the fucking cosmos. If there were a Hell and christianity was the only correct religion (which it is not) you bet every one of you're idiot, hypocritical idols would burn there forever and ever. vote obama, asshole.

NBC’S Andrea Mitchell Calls Virginians Rednecks

NordlichReiter says...

She needs to shut the hell up, she wouldn't know a redneck if she saw one. There is a difference, between hill billy and red neck.

Red neck is a term for hardworking middle class people (No matter what race). Hillbilly is something else. We rednecks take offense to it.

Olbermann Does What he Does to Clinton

bamdrew says...

Well, she didn't say being black "potentially aided his campaign", she said he would not be the leading democratic candidate if he wasn't black.

In other words, he would not be there if not for special treatment due to the color of his skin. As if America is letting a black man become president because its time to do that, and he just happens to be black and a man.

Its a cruel way to diminish the intelligence, skill, hardwork and dedication of an individual by saying they had it easy because of their skin color, and can be especially hostile coming from someone with ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how hard or easy it was for that person. And its extremely bizarre that Hillary didn't ask her to resign immediately based on how respectfully the Obama camp has been running.

Well, us goldies complained about it, but I guess it's not gonna get changed. Such is life, I'll just have to post another forty videos, I guess.

Sucks doesn't it? I initially didn't comprehend how incredibly lame that is because I didn't lose any powers... but I am starting to see now how that changes a lot of things now that the majority of you hardworking sifters have lost one of the coolest powers available. I regret not pitching a fit over that.
