Oh my lord.
What comes after the part where some people prefer the check to the low-wage job? What's the genius point that you're leading to?
Why are we having this discussion?
You live on the margins of real issues.
Oh my lord.
What comes after the part where some people prefer the check to the low-wage job? What's the genius point that you're leading to?
That you can't respond to with any honesty at all?
I'd say most or almost everybody waits until the last minute to take a shitty job.
So just tell me you think that's a tiny fraction.
Tell me that we need another 99 weeks.
Take a stand.
Why are we having this discussion?
I don't know.
Tell me. You posted the video.
You're angry that I don't commit suicide over the fact that some middle aged people are on the bad side of the tech bubble?
That one of the most expensive areas in the world is having trouble?
Yes Heck it's too bad.
It's the same as it has been for decades.
It was too bad when the rubber shops went down south.
What's your point?
That there's not a huge need for a marketing degree?
You want me to blame somebody? Dop you want to blame somebody? You have a solution or what?
You live on the margins of real issues.
You have no idea what a real issue is beyond your political affiliation.

Steve, there aren't nearly enough of these "shitty" jobs either. Even if the point you were making is relevant, which it isn't. You're not even close to being in this discussion.
Shoot me now.

You still won't answer?
What a shocker.
C'mon Heck go for it.
99 more weeks?
BTW discussion?
What discussion?
Sorry did you have a solution?
Or an explaination?
Or anything but grumbling?

How long will you press me on a question that answers itself, but doesn't matter to the discussion we're having?
Yes, Steve, some people will opt to take the check instead of working at Target, and someone else, probably on unemployment themselves, will take the job instead. What's your point? I can't possibly imagine why you think that was worth typing, never mind 10 times.

Then could you imagine why you've refused to put an end to it with an answer even yet?
(Now for a harrumph and nothing else.)

You were pointing out that people prefer the idea of more money and leisure time to less money and leisure time, and then challenging me to admit it that it's true.
Yes, I stand in awe of you.
What was your point?
I think sour milk smells worse than fresh. Why won't you admit that it's true?

See how easy that was?
Now why do you suppose you can't do it?
WSS

Because it's self-evident and a waste of time and irrelevant.
What was your point?
-
Heck is inept and has no nads.
He can't justify his anti-everything quips.
He can't admit the truth.
He can't bring himself to create his own thread. (they have depends for that affliction, Heck)
He can't and won't criticize Obamao for anything. (see above in quotes)
He can't win with anybody on the board in any argument.
he can't ever stay on topic.
Heck is now the board's would-be George Soros, the "Spooky Dude".

The point is that beyond your constant bragging about how smart you are, you refuse to answer the simplest question or offer the slightest insight on any subject you bray about.
That makes it such a joke when you use the word discussion.
WSS
-
And to your little tear jerker clip.
Yes it's too bad.
That has happened to workers for centuries.
There will always be a younger group with more current skills and more energy who will work for a lot less money no matter what the industry.
It's a pain in the ass for those in their fifties.
Just wait Heck in 20 years Rahm will find a 22 year old to fetch his coffee.
And now that international communication is commonplace a lot of them live overseas.
So, discussion boy, tell me how you stop that.
Or (as I expect) just give me another pointless barrage of bragging and petty insults.
I mean I already asked you (since only a tiny few abuse the benefit) why shouldn't we add more weeks to the unemployment benefits?
Hell even that was too much of a challenge to you.

My God.
Do you even know what discussion we're having? You seem to think I'm claiming I can stop job losses after an economic meltdown.
"So, discussion boy, tell me how you stop that."
Jesus. I'm going to do my work now.
In the meantime, you can try to tell me what your point was again. Why were you pointing out that some people might opt to stay on unemployment instead of taking a job that's worth less than the check, and why does that matter to the larger discussion we've been having about unemployment insurance and what it's for?
-
Here we go again.
Heck goes off the wagon with claiming the discussion must be different
than the discussion he cowardly is avoiding.
It's an elite liberal/progressive thing.
Sad. I believe I saw on Drudge, where liberals are genetically
pre-disposed to change subjects all the time, ignore reality and facts all the time,
and pick their nose all the time instead of discussing things intelligently.

No Heck.
Because we arent having a discussion.
You're railing.
Who knows against what.
You posted a typical 60 minutes and bitched that somebody fell short of what you consider to be Christian values.
You get outraged when asked what might be done in your opinion.
If there's something else maybe we missed it.
Maybe you have an alternate universe definition of discussion.
Help us out Heck.
Just where's the discussion goping?
Pick a side.

Actually I say almost everybody.
You can make an estimate if you grow a ball.
And we aren't having a larger diuscussion about unemployment or what it's for.
Even if we were you shit your pants when I asked if we should extend benefits or not.
You don't know don't care or just being a dipshit about any answer at all?
Now go do your work.
Black, two sugars.

I love that you imagine that what you type makes me shit my pants. Why would you think that asking me about whether I think we should extend unemployment benefits again makes me shit my pants? Yes, I do. I think there should be another temporary extension until the job market picks up, not only to help people who are struggling, but to use it as additional stimulus, which the economy needs. ...Honestly, I don't get you. You think that was hard for me to do, rather than the easier explanation - that it never matters what I type because you don't want to talk about issues. You only want to talk about me.
So again, what larger point are you getting to?

No idea why Heck.
If it wasn't that hard why waste so many posts childishly refusing to answer?
I'm not getting to any larger point.
I was merely trying to get you to say something of substance.
So good.
You took a stand.
The stimulous was too small in your opinion.
And you seem to be of the Krugman mindset that the deficit isn't as big a problem as it's made out to be.

I'm of the opinion that there's a difference between temporary spending and long term spending, and that we should do what we need to do to stay out of another recession.
If you got over your animus, and stopped imagining that you've stumped or stunned me with the points you make, these conversations would take a lot less time.

Had you made your point right off the bat rather than waste my time with playing the mule....
Actually curious, you claim there was a CBO top ten list of ways to stimulate the economy and that an exrtension of the tax cuts wasn't the forst on the list.
Was extending the unemployment benefits on that list? If so where?
WSS
-
Yes, it was on the list.
And I did make my point. It was about the reality of the unemployment situation, and the reality of the inability of the unemployed to find jobs, and why they can't find them. That was my point. It's why 60 Minutes was brought up in the first place, remember? You just didn't get it, and then took us down a rabbit hole, which even you admitted wasn't really related to what we were talking about.
