See and I didnt call anyone names.
Yes, I show a lack of ability to process simple logic because I don't buy YOU making this a racial discussion. You don't have to call names, you are essentially saying that I am not intelligent because I don't agree with what you say. So, if someone has a job or is able to find a job, does that mean they are "self-entitled"? I guess because Kevin has a career, that he worked hard for, he must be "self-entitled" in your eyes, right? I guess because I think that there are other options and people need to exhaust all possibilities before complaining about not being able to find employment, I'm lacking empathy and logic, right?

As far as "pushing" the military like it is a cheesy 1980s commercial, if more people would do things they didn't necessarily "like" in order to pay their bills and they didn't feel so "self-entitled" they might be willing to try something unconventional (in their mind) such as going to the military. You still didn't answer my question Dr.Phil. Are you employed? Have you had trouble finding employment? If not, then why don't you give advice to people who are unemployed?

As far as the people complaining about the state of our economy and how people who are working are "self-absorbed" assholes, maybe you could come up with ways to tell people what they can do to help their situation. Xp2k bringing "race" into the discussion doesn't exactly "help" the situation, either. Maybe instead of posting snarky comments, certain people could discuss what they think would HELP people.

Dreamseeker, I find it "interesting" that the only thing you have contributed to this thread is to make a snarky comment toward someone else saying I lack logic because I don't agree with them bringing "race" into a discussion, that doesn't need it. Maybe instead of being snarky, you could add something of substance. Just a thought.
