  Yup, and the problem is. That huge corporations create jobs elsewhere where they can find the cheapest labour because they want MORE profits for their shareholders. So yeah. They create jobs alright. But where? They get huge tax breaks, and are not contributing to the economy.

  Back at cha!

  productivity is up and jobs are down.

  Productivity is up and wages are down. Wages create consumers create jobs.

  If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

  Wha, only first degree murder includes premeditation, which doesn't have to be for more than a moment.

  I would probably say manslaughter, although after listening to some of the trial, I lean more toward 2nd degree murder than I did.

  Consider this: people demand cars. Poor people don't make them. Who makes the cars that people demand?

  LOL you just summed it up yourself! DEMAND creates jobs!

  My 8 year old daughter tells me she is an atheist...???

  so since we have not been to a meeting in 6 months or so, i decided to ask my daughter (on the way home from cheerleading practice - yeah i can't believe i am letting her engage in such a worldly activity lol) if she misses going to the kingdom hall.

  she says sometimes because she can't see her friend - but she has made new friends so it doesn't bother her too much.

  so i ask her, "well, what about learning about jehovah?

  i have been encouraging my mom to cook with coconut oil, it does help with her dementia symptoms sometimes.

  it is just not safe for people with dementia to use knives for cooking, thats why i need some recipe ideas.

  Actually it is subjective. Take the bottom 19% and break it down further. Someone who makes $250000 a year is probably in the bottom 19%.

  Actually they are in the top 6-7%

  Wow

  As for the OP, absolutely true. Those who disagree need a history/economics lesson.

  The truth does hurt. Those who cling to lies.

  It's a terrible idea that is devastating the world. The fact that billionaires can exist is a disgrace for humanity.

  They are too young to be dealing with such issues at this age. One of my big beefs with the JW's. There was no reason in the world for children to hear the same complicated, scary, (boring), discussions that the adults did.
