     Of course I take this literally, this is what I was taught and what I believe. Of course, my grandpa thinks that in Genesis when Eve eats the fruit and shares it with Adam that it means they are having sex, and their weren't married. I disagree with this because at that time there wasn't like a marriage ceremony, and in the Lord's eyes they were man and wife, but thats a whole other discussion. I believe every part of Genesis and the Bible and I have no doubtful thoughts about my faith in God. I know that I'm still very young and haven't had many struggles with my faith yet, but I believe with my whole self and with all my heart and soul in the Lord Jesus Christ and I'm willing to defend my faith against anyone.

The topic right now is A Deep Sigh.  It is posted under the threads.

I'll have to give that a try.  Thank you.

I agree.  The welfare and hand outs are out of control!

Perhaps part of the problem lies in the American society's paradigm of consumerism. We invest so much value in things that we base our lifestyle and emotions around what we can purchase, instead of pursuing that which would truly make us happy (which gives rise to a completely different discussion,) and because of that we are literally buying ourselves into the ground. Thoughts?

make sure yu are clear, ferm,yet gentle to her feeling just like yu feel dstant frm her she might be feeling dstant from you

I agree, we need to cut out the chronically unemployed and that if someone can work they should, even if it means lowering their standards. But you also have to understand, a person with masters in Architecture is less likely to be hired by Mcdonald's than a teenager. First off, a restaurateur often view the overqualified with suspicion. If this person is so qualified, why is looking for a job? Of all the people to be laid off from his previous employer why was not kept? How long will he be around? Will they waste time training him and lose him in the same week when a teenager will stay forever? Will this person expect hire pay, quicker promote, more benefits? Now I'm not making excuses, just playing devils advocate.

It's a little 2 dimensional to say that if teenagers are able to get minimum wage jobs, people should go out and have no problems finding jobs. Business are just not hiring. The job market is on the rise but it is slow and some states are doing better than others. Reports last week indicated that unemployment dropped from 9.8 to 9.4 and it is projected that it'll still be years before we get back to pre-recession numbers.  The trend right now is for business to hire temporary workers for project rather than full timers, even though their financial say they can afford more works. They are just too afraid to take a chance until the numbers get better. But the numbers won't get better until they take a chance.

Let's say a factory laid of 40 people and are able to hire 3 temporary people back now. Now there are 100 people applying for those position. Did the 97 who did not get the job not try hard enough?

Now people not reporting unemployment are usually not receiving unemployment benefits and people who've used up benefits no longer receive them, so we can count them out of the money pool. Now unless they meet certain qualifications, they probably are not getting other benefits as well.

As far as welfare goes:
Changes does need to occur. People riding the system should be taken out. I still remember the late rapper Old Dirty B*****d pulling up to the Welfare office in a limo, MTV camera's in tow, to claim his benefits check. Something needs to be done to increase enforcement and to shift the money to people who really need, people who can prove that they can't work because of disability or other uncontrollable factors. Temporary assistance needs to be temporary. And have octotuplets kids by choice is good enough to be on permanent welfare.

Since I'm not one to say something needs to be done with coming up with some ideas...
My solution (some of them anyways and very general since i've already written an novel here):

- improve education, decrease the cost of going to college and change the mindset that school is not necessary. Check the numbers on this but a dropout has a 24% chance of unemployment, high school grads 14% and college grads 4%. Parents and teachers need to be more accountable.
- cut food stamp items to healthier choice. New York I believe wants to try this. Narrowing the choice to healthier option will prevent waste on unhealthy food thus reducing cost to the program. Also with people eating healthier, cost for medical will be reduced. 8 year old will not be 200 lbs and will have energy to go to school and possibly like school enough to graduate. promoting healthy living will reduce medicare/medicaid cost. Also healthy people are less likely to be on welfare for medical (no injury/accident related) reason. This will free up money for people who got cancer or lost both legs and now can't work.
-make smart legislation (tax and otherwise) that promote business growth without letting abuses that cause this recession. This includes more tech friendly ordinance. And more funding for innovations.

yes BEING OBBSSESED IS FINE!!!!!!

A large piece of kinky story, a cup of fanfiction, just brewed horror story, well spiced novel and fresh from the farm love poems.
What's your pick?

NPR is a very liberal "news" source, so they are not balanced.
