I imagine that the majority of the unemployed were originally laid off through no fault of their own, that is obviously not something within their power. How hard they work at gaining further employment and what opportunities they choose to accept and what sorts of compromises they're willing to make are well within their power, however.

saying that again means that you weren't really paying attention to what ppl are saying.
1) no one wants to go from being a high level manager to working at walmart, but,
2) even when they try, they're being turned away because they're overqualified.
3) even if you get the job, if you're barely making ends meet on unemployment, why would you take a job that gives you even less money? so that you can say you're gainfully employed? gtfohwtbs.
4) so if you want to call that exploiting the system so that you can keep a house over ur head and your kids fed and all your other financial obligations met, then so be it. you can call me the unemployment queen and i wouldn't give a fuck.
and that's my 2 cents. *walks out of thread to collect my unemployment check*

I don't know why you all try to relate to Max.
Max doesn't give a shit. All he/she wants is for us to react.

He/she doesn't care, but honestly, I also don't think he/she cares if we react or not. I think he/she really feels that way about non-whites.

If there ever was a wise time to walk away from this thread...now would be it.
You know in the 2 or 3 years I have been on this board Kevin, you have shown me you don't know what it means to be a minority (Jena thread), poor (inner city student fights teacher thread) or unemployed (this thread).
Just stop responding already.

Well I have stopped thinking about him and I suggest everyone else does too.
Max is the monkey who throws feces just to get everyone to look at him.

Cheerfulgreek isn't talking about the neighborhood "ghetto" and is speaking figuratively, equating "criminality" with a "ghetto" mindset.
I see what she means, although her language would be subject for a huge debate in some professional and nonprofessional settings.

Thanks DrPhil. That's exactly what I meant.

If he really felt that way, he'd probably spend his time posting on a board whose members want him there.
He keeps coming back to get a reaction.

^^^^exactly. What kind of life must you have to get banned and keep coming back only to get banned again?
That's why I really can't understand why some of you keep giving him lip service like he really wants to have an intelligent conversation

If he didn't feel that way, why would he post it? Maybe he is posting the same ignorance or other boards, and not just this one.

That's just it...stop rationalizing it. Don't even give that the energy it requires because again, that is what he wants. Same with Xanthus to a lesser extent.
To get a rise.

I'm sure he feels that way, but to continue returning as much as he does shows that he just wants to get on peoples' nerves.

He's not as bad as max. When he was "Xanthus" he was ignorant, but his recent reincarnations haven't been that bad.

Yeah, but some people on here love Xanthus. I don't know why, but they do, and he knows it, that's why he keeps coming back.
