costello: i want to talk about the unemployment rate in america .. abbott: good subject.
terrible times.
costello: the unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?.
COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .
ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 9%.
COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%
.COSTELLO: You just said 9%.
ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16% unemployed
.ABBOTT: No, that's 9%...
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9% or 16%?
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.
COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.
COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work, can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.
COSTELLO: To who?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work... Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 9%. Otherwise, it would be 16%. You don't want to read about 16% unemployment
do ya?
COSTELLO: That would be frightening.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they're two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like the president.
COSTELLO: I don't even know what the heck I just said!
a light exploded with a loud pop and he flinched, then got tickled.....
Yep, I saw that. Pretty cool.

us marines posed with nazi symbol in afghanistanby julie watson | associated press 12 hrs agoknightarmco.com - this sept. 2010 photo posted recently on the titiusville, fla.- based arms manufacturer knight's armament's internet blog, shows members of charlie company, 1st reconnaissance battalion, out ...more .
related contentenlarge photothis sept. 2010 photo posted recently on the titiusville, fla.- based arms manufacturer .... san diego (ap) the marine corps on thursday once again did damage control after a photograph surfaced of a sniper team in afghanistan posing in front of a flag with a logo resembling that of the notorious nazi ss a special unit that murdered millions of jews, gypsies and others.. the corps said in a statement that using the symbol was not acceptable, but the marines in the photograph taken in september 2010 will not be disciplined because investigators determined it was a naive mistake.. the marines believed the ss symbol was meant to represent sniper scouts and never intended to be associated with a racist organization, said maj. gabrielle chapin, a spokeswoman at camp pendleton, where the marines were based.. "i don't believe that the marines involved would have ever used any type of symbol associated the nazi germany military criminal organization that committed mass atrocities in wwii," chapin said.
the corps has used the incident as a training tool to talk to troops about what symbols are acceptable after it became aware of the photograph last november, chapin said.. the image has since surfaced on an internet blog, sparking widespread outrage and calls for a full investigation and punishment, including bringing those in the photograph and anyone who condoned it to court martial.. "this is a complete and total outrage," said mikey weinstein of the military religious freedom foundation, headquartered in albuquerque, n.m.. his organization sent a letter to the head of the marine corps, gen. james amos, and defense secretary leon panetta on thursday, demanding punishment for those involved.. it was the second time this year the marine corps has had to do damage control for actions of its troops.
I don't see a problem with the Marines using the lightning bolt double S as part of their Scout Sniper unit symbol .
In Portland, OR after years of complaints, they finally got around to painting over a huge swastika symbol that advertised some product on the side of an old downtown building. It is an ancient Indian symbol and had been used long before the Nazis adopted it.

did anyone else have the experiance while in the borg of the uber elderette throwing a dinner party?.
i had one in my congo that humiliated every other woman by her aura of "i'm sooo perfect and your not!
" her dinner parties were legendry and rivaled only by buckingham place.
Maybe off topic, but this made me recall the "progressive dinners" that several of the young couples in the cong. would organize. If I remember correctly the two or three we attended involved going to a starting home for cocktails then driving to a second home for dinner (and more cocktails) and to another home for dessert. This would put several vehicles of sloshed JW's on the road three or times of an evening.
i think that many of them begrudgingly admit that they are going to die.
they are not going to live in a paradise with all the animals, blah, blah, blah.. i think that even if they won't speak out about it, it has to do more than just cross their minds.. nobody likes to be duped..
There is a significant numberof JW's who know very well what they have gotten tangled up in. But it involves too much sacrifice to try and extricate themselves from it. Not to mention basic ego and pride. "Go along to get along" resonates better than "I will sacrifice everything in the name of my personal integrity". Who needs the ass ache?
i had wanted to start this topic before but never had a chance.
i'm sure it's been dealt with before so i apologize in advance for bringing up again.. .
do you know of or ever know of elders who do the very minimum to work so that they can get the maximum child allowance, food stamps, medicaid etc?.
Is it wrong for ELDERS to live off their WIFE, while they are performing the "Lord's Work'?
If you just change the words around it helps to answer the question.
CO and DO and GB wives, wether living in luxurious Brooklyn penthouses with Manhatten views, free meals and housekeeping or a travel trailer parked behind a Kingdom Hall in North Dakota, it all evens out. As far as Gov't. assistance that's a whole different thing.
mrs cofty and i went for a walk yesterday to see some ancient rock art.
we went to two sites both within 20 minutes drive of our house.
the first one is about 60 minutes walk up a hill the other about 2 minutes walk from where you can park the car.
Phallic symbolism is especially strange. Cultures all over the world seem to have decided on the erect penis with two orbs below as a symbol of procreation! Uncanny! There were no telephones or satellite communications back then! WTF?
And the symbols of big breasted women with bulbus buttocks representing fertility have shown up in centuries old figurines and cave drawings that are centuries old and in remote cultures that did not even have black berries.!(or dingleberries)
I tell you, it makes you think!
