Why I hate america with a passion. Black Male = never hired - no matter what level of experience of qualifications. Funny also how we always hear about 'female' oppression but clearly who is in a much better position? Like I said, I HATE America with a passion! This racist dump is a prison for so many. War is coming kids. Better get ready.

Hey abortin pro/con

Eastern grey squirrels:

males kill the young so that the females re-enter oestrus. stressed females may kill their young.

Belding's ground squirrels:

When Belding's ground squirrels fail to attend their territories, unrelated females or one-year-old males may arrive and kill pups. Yearling males usually eat the carcasses, so their infanticide may be motivated by hunger.

Lions:

New adult lions take over a pride; they often kill the young and thus eliminate the chance of any rivalry against offspring he later fathers.

Butterflies:

The caterpillars of Monarch and Queen butterflies often eat the eggs of the species

Baboons Langurs and other primates:

The males of several primate species, including the common langur, practice infanticide. Bands of male langurs will attack a mixed troop, driving off the males and killing the offspring before mating with the females. Baboons also kill their young and occasionally even eat them. Dominant male gorillas and chimpanzees may kill the young of their species

. Gulls and other birds:

Many species of gull that nest in large colonies eat eggs and young. This may be a response to crowding, but male gulls, which lack young of their own, are more likely to eat the eggs and young of their own species. Some parent birds may eat the young when populations become dense, or food scarce. Crows may eat eggs and chicks of rivals to improve their own chance of successful breeding.

Kangaroos:

Kangaroos can have three young at different stages of development. One inside the body, one in the pouch and one that lives outside the pouch for much of the time, but still suckles from the mother. In severe conditions, the mother may not have enough energy to feed the older young, so this is left to its own devices. If conditions deteriorate, the mother will remove the pouch young. This means that the embryo in the body develops and soon occupies the vacant pouch. Whether this course of action counts as infanticide is debatable, but if the mother died, so would the young.

Dolphins:

kill harbor porpoise babies. In Scotland, scientists found baby harbor porpoises washed up with horrific internal injuries. They thought the porpoises might have been killed by weapons tests until they found the toothmarks. Later, dolphins were caught on film pulping the baby porpoises—the dolphins even used their ecolocation to aim their blow at the porpoises' vital organs.

Need anymore??

Thank you in advance for your input.

I am researching unemployment statistics for a research project a

Baby Boomer project and read hundreds of pages of information.

I have accessed numerous government sites and no where can

I get a straight answer. ( how unusual huh? : )

The question:

How many people between the ages of 47 and 66 are currently unemployed.

How many have stopped looking?

How many have accepted part time jobs?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't find a job, as has been my dilemma, I volunteer. One reason volunteering works is it gives you something to put on your resume. Second it has made me take a breather from the pain of stress, boredom, resentment and fear of financial ruin. I look at some people who are much worse then myself and I regain some strength and peace of mind to forge ahead. Sitting on my duff doesn't do it for me. My plans for tech have broadened to the point of going back to school while looking for an internship. Living on less and applying for aid is something that even the most experienced have had to do these past two years. So get out, take advantage of the time since you may start bitching about the job where hours are longer than expected. Pick up a book on something is stimulating and write about it. Then you can use writing opinions as another skill. Learning and Volunteering works.

If the unemployment right now was measured with the same standards that it was in the big depression the real unemployment numbers would be double.

BRING OUR JOBS BACK FROM CHINA AND INDIA.

Enough is Enough greedy bastards.

Dear Mad in MI,

Regarding your concerns about speaking English in America, perhaps you should work on your own English before making complaints about others. Your grammar and spelling leave much to be desired. Have you proofed your resume and business plan?

Additionally, you should lose your sense of entitlement. Our country was built upon the sweat equity of millions of immigrants. Many sacrificed and struggled to build businesses and make our country what it is today. There were no free handouts. You did not qualify for a loan at the bank because you haven't the means to repay it and have no credit history. It has nothing to do with your race or gender. I suspect that your business plan either wasn't sound or you did not present it well. Regardless of the sum, in the middle of a credit crisis, no bank in the world will lend you any amount, not even "20k" if they do not stand a reasonable chance of being repaid.

These are difficult times for all of us. And, before you ask, I am in the middle of trying to establish my own business and do not have a steady paycheck coming in either. It takes hard work and dedication mixed with some risk and hopefully some reward at the end. I suggest you start looking internally and stop blaming the immigrants, those who can't or choose not to speak English, anyone who hasn't hired you, the banks that will not loan you any money. etc. for all of your own shortcomings.

I am 28, and I cant even afford to get gas, to go job hunting. At current; I have just over 1,500 in my savings, and 120 in checking. Thank GOD I live with my parents!

I went to school; got a degree in computers, and American English. I had a good job working at a local computer repair service, getting good money for hard work. Computers Repair (and relaited sales), are all i've done for the last 10 years. Two years ago before hell broke loose, I was laid off. Well, two years later, I am with out a real-job. I am so desprate for real work, I went to local fast food places. Point Blankly, the Manager of one; who could barely speek English. Asked me; if I could speek Spanish, I said no. He laughed and said something in spanish and said no work for you, as he walked away laughing. Its a very quickly growing trend, do you speek Spanish?! Well, I dont and I REFUSE TO! The offical Language of America; is American English. Not Spanish, Not Arabic, NOT NOTHIN' But AMERICAN. Washingtion forgets the rules, or just does what it sees fit, when elections, special groups who have election votes and money. Thats all that matters, I dont care who the person is. They are all dirty. Working in Washingtion; your dirty!

I have nothing agnist anyone, but learn our language or go home! We are the only place on the planet like this! Second, its impossible to get money to start your own company. Two reasons, 1. Taxes in my state or only going higher. 2. The only people getting the brakes are the companies and persons from over seas! I went to the bank, with my hands out with a biz plan, and my bank told me, because I am a White American Male between the age of 18 and 30, with no credit history, and dont own my own home; I am not a safe risk for a loan. I was only asking for 20K. When I see places in my area poping up, with signs in many other languages; who only wait or deal with their own kind! Is that a type of discrimation? America has become so damned, PC. They are bending over and taking it; and its way beyond logical, way beyond, common sence. Hey, I am all for helping anyone who comes to America, but when it is too much, its time we start taking care of our own. Lastly, When King Charls. The First Of England, sould out England to France, Oliver Cromwell and his Round Heads. took action. Lets not forget what happend in Russia in 1905 and in 1918. And lastly, Hittler was elected in a Free Democratic Election. People today forget history, and thats why we are doomed to repeate it. A Nation Not United, FALLS! Our one common uniting factor is being torn out from under us... our Language... LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, and command it well! English is the Language every educated person, in a place of power on this planet speeks English! We need to deport the freeloaders! WITH OUT QUESTION! If they come back... shoot em'! five, six times, I think the message will get out! Come to AMERICA THE RIGHT WAY!

Mad in Michigan of MI 10:32PM September 08, 2009

Unemployed, and my solution is to breathe air that is still not taxed, and to find potable water that is not owned by a water works, and shelter where no rent is due, and clothes that have been abandoned, and food that comes from nature, or has been cultivated on land that nobody cares about.

City life demands money, but living requires no money at all, just faith in that nature of which humans are a part of. Some day, I will be wanted by the municipal system again, but I dont know if I will be interested in what it has to offer.

Rather than classifying them as Catholics, most immigrants today should be classified as just plain stupid. Ignorant. We don't need more stupid people -- the world is already at moronicism's capacity!

Accordingly, a law should be (must be!) passed making it illegal to have a child unless one of the parents can prove he and/or she has at least $10K in the bank. The pundits tell us it takes $180K to raise a child in today's dollars through the age of 18 (BEFORE college). If you're too benighted to save $10K, you're too stupid to have a child too...and don't, then, condemn it to a life of poverty, mirroring the parent's feckless life from one generation to the next...
