Jesus Christ, seriously?

[Jenne]

Agh.  Don't feed it, Miss Freeky...maybe it'll go away and a really REAL poster with actual points will come back.

[No u]

You know, this gives me an idea.

Make a parental certification exam.  If people pass it, they get better tax cuts on their kids.

We already have that...it's called welfare.

Lowest grade wins.

Sure.  Because all the unemployed people - especially nowdays - are lazy breeders.  Right?

For the answer to that question...visit the Youngstown/Warren area in Ohio.

[Jasper]

Yeah, there I go being idealistic and utopian again.  I should really get that fixed.

I was thinking there would be a DNA scan, a 5-axis psych diagnostic, drug testing, and personality index.

If they showed as 100% normal on all of them, they'd be gassed immediately.

Come to Tucson, sometime.  I think maybe 7 of us have jobs.

I almost had a job today, Roger. I swear to god, I did. It was to be a cook at a retirement community. The lady gave me an interview and everythinig! She even mentioned that they had before hired people to that position with them having no experience.


But she had to turn me down, because they can't afford to teach me right now. They apperntly do not even have enough time to teach me to be a server, cuz she asked if I had experience in that, too.

Please to be blowing a hole where Tucson should be. Thanks in advance.

What happened to the idea of you going back to school?    I think that's really a good option, Miss Freeky.

You can fuck off now. 

Oh...really?

Dude, check the stereotypes at the door, kthxbye.

And the certification, sorry, Felix, is a not so very good idea, because the wielders of the power over the certification would have FW's attitude about who is/isn't a so-called "failure."

This.  Pat Robertson would get to decide who is allowed to have kids, basically.

  A very small, evil part of me thinks this is the ticket.

[Cain]

lol, education and skills.

Yeah, that'll help.  No, really.

Keep on plugging, Freeky.  This is a rough town, but never give up.

[Golden Applesauce]

Har.  That's as great as baby high heels...

On the other foot, if you had to wear high heels at some point in your life, wouldn't the best time be when you couldn't walk anyway?

No.  It was a tongue in cheek remark.  

If she cited the economy, I would have bowed out and stood corrected.  But she cited lack of skills/experience.  I wish to know more.

[Faust]

No skills + no work experience = no job = need to get on welfare.

I see.  Might I ask who we are blaming for the lack of skills/work experience?

A career doesn't define a person.
There is no blame for being unemployed, nor should there be guilt for being unemployed.
I come from a long line of happy people who have changed careers more then a dozen times and have been on welfare to see themselves through the quiet patches.

Oh, look--he's back! 

If you did that thing called "LURK MOAR" you'd know MF's situation.  Which she's been working HARD to get through and done with so she could give her and her kid a better life.

Miss Freeky tries, and applies, and fills out forms...she's the collateral damage that is this economy.

...point...guess it's the whole "sexualizing your daughter" thing that the celebs do so well that freaks people out so.

Well, let's see:

Huge fucking classrooms in a shithole school system, because our state spent all the money on armored police vehicles to give Sheriff Joe a big fucking boner.

Kids marrying young, have a kid, husband runs the fuck off and leaves young mother on her own.  This is a staple in poor towns all over the country.

I can think of a few other scenarios, but why bother?  You've already decided that 3rd generation working class families (for whom there are no working class jobs, because we have all that done in China) are useless mouths.
