HEY! I didnt say you were stupid or a dumbass (though you do tend to agree with and have the same morals as someone that could be considered stupid or a dumbass, but I'm not calling you that), I'm just saying you can only read the lines, not whats between them...

A far as race, I'll admit, maybe I did read more into what Kevin was saying than there really was...I'll take the slap for that.

Please go back and read what I wrote, and then you tell me.

Bingo! See...I knew you could be taught!

Ok, what I think would "help" the situation is if people understood that having a job isnt as simple as wanting one (as studies show, since there are more people out of work than there are jobs) and that removing unemployment will do more harm than good.
