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.

Are you employed? Don't talk to me like I'm a moron. Just because I don't buy it that people who are truly looking and willing to take whatever comes their way, still can't find a job, does not mean I lack logic or empathy. It means that I am realistic about the options out there-that some people are taking advantage of.
There is a difference, between people on Welfare (who may have never worked a day in their life) and people on Unemployment (who may have paid into that pot of money). Let me say that I don't see anything wrong with collecting unemployment. What I do have an issue with is people who live off Welfare OR Unemployment for a substantially long time and then complain that they haven't found a job. I have worked for everything I have. My parents didn't pay for my college. My parents aren't college educated, and yet they (like me) didn't have a hard time finding a job. Don't pretend that everyone on Unemployment is out there looking for a job or that they may not be just turning their noses up in the air to things that don't "suit" their needs.
