Tom Delay: People Are Unemployed Because They Want To Be

[33girl]

I don't do well with people yelling in my face, for any reason. I smack them.

Not only that, at this point, my butt is too old for the military. I'm sure there are people out there who would like to do it who don't meet the age or health requirements.

Both of my parents were military, so I had to deal with it my entire life. Since I've left home, my personality has shifted and won't allow me to sit back and "take it."

For the same reason people respond to other discussions.

If I was to say that, unequivocally, rape victims precipitate their own victimization and are to blame for their circumstances, I'm positive many people wouldn't be thrilled regardless of whether or not they have ever been raped. That doesn't mean these people don't believe that some circumstances are preventable.

It's more a slap in the face than not having a job in my career field in 18 months of looking.

If I were him I would do it, too.

Must post more WNY/WPA colloquialisms.

I doubt it's much of an option for someone who got laid off in his late 40s.

We all know, and have said, that some people may not be trying very hard. I think people ripped Kevin a new one because he basically said you wouldn't be unemployed unless you weren't trying hard, and went so far as to tell people here that they weren't trying hard enough. It wasn't just his opinions that got people riled up, it was the "Let them eat cake" packaging those opinions were wrapped in.
