How about we take the stimulus money and hire a crane to airlift it out into the ocean, drop it and be rid of the state and the people who are dragging us down?
True colors...
Pandora, I know that um... well... I've read your posts so I understand that you have a very interesting understanding of "words" and stuff. Shall I say a "unique understanding" of things.
So... Georgia is not a race. It's a state.
There is no race of "Georgian."
Saying "I don't like black people" or "send the Hispanics back over to Mexico" would be "racist" because "black" and "Hispanic" are races. "From Georgia" is not a race. It's just an address.
Saying something mean about the state of Georgia is just saying something mean about the state of Georgia. It's not "racist." :fp::roll:
Honestly... other than creationism and abstinence-only, what do they teach in schools in Georgia?
I wish you would admit your prejudice you know its so unattractive to be dishonest.
Just keep talking it becomes increasingly clear0 -

Who's with me?

Seriously?
filling our Dome... spilling out, those who come to apply for the very few jobs available.
Funny that someone can make fun of other people's misfortune. That is true colors indeed.0 -

1) if you have so many people spilling out of the dome looking for work... maybe you should look at your own state and see why that is? Other states seem to be doing a lot better than yours. Do you also get angry at that person who peed in your pants?
2) I'm not making fun of anyone's misfortune. I'm making fun of you and your apparent belief that "Georgian" is a race and that making a joke about how we should airlift the state out of America is "racist."
I also think it's hysterical that you think said joke shows "hate and bias," because you clearly don't know what those words mean, either.
You say that the unemployment rate in Georgia was 9.2%. And that's correct. Maybe it's because you're all too busy making laws about vaginas or gay marriage, complaining about how people are mean to you on internet forums when you display your tenuous grasp on English and not spending enough time reading dictionaries.0 -

Yeah, it's GecHo.......either way, Zoso is right.
We've had Republican policies in place for 12 years. where has that gotten us?0 -

keep talking let all that meanness out now, maybe finally you can feel better
and that chip will fall free from your shoulder, it is really weighing you down.
Funny the other thread ...
I was wondering if you thought all the religious folks should be more like you :fp:
really? you do not see do you?
It's a vicious circle for you I am afraid.
I can only hope you can get released from the hate that is eating you up.
It's not your fault you have experienced bias but rise above man,
be better than those who persecute.
Certainly don't persecute too and a whole state:fp:

pandora wrote:PJ_Soul wrote:pandora wrote:It's a great number!
Romney will not be able to create jobs any better than Obama can. In fact, Romney knows more about destroying them, so I'm not sure why anyone would fall for his fantastical 12 million jobs crap. What he's a really saying is that he has basically come up with a way to irradicate unemployment. He just knows that if he says it like that no one will believe him (especially given his track record). So why do people believe him when he spouts a ridiculous number?? It seems very illogical to me that anyone would look at that claim as anything other than pure garbage. I literally laughed out loud when I first heard him say that!With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

in all seriousness, I was just making a comment on how easy it is for a stupid speech or claim to be able to sway the general public. I don't know why anyone believes anything these politicians say without researching it a bit, ON BOTH SIDES.Gimli 1993

Not being from here perhaps you can't relate to still being hopeful.
Yes, hope might be gone for our current President because clearly no change came.
But there are those holding out hope for a different stragedy who are not so swayed
by a color that they can still choose.0 -

I'm glad you can spoof at the 3 young girls all under the age of 16
terrorized in their home ... the home invasion yesterday at 9am.
I'm glad you can make fun of the gang violence that put 8 bullets in a restaurant owner
or the shooting that left a young man dead at the local late night club Saturday evening.
Your compassion and empathy is unsurpassed, wait no, that's not you....
that's me the American ... you're just the one belittling your neighbor
I wonder why?
good show there, that's some great qualities we should all strive for :fp:0 -

the "you aren't from here so you can't possibly understand" idea is getting pretty tired. we're all in this together. America's election affects Canada, Canadian elections affect Americans, Iraqi elections affect Uganda, etc.
every democratic society has been through an economic downturn with high unemployment and promises that haven't been kept by a government at some point. So yes, I do get it.
hoping for a significant change in a partisan system within 4 years is very clearly nearly impossible today. the canadain system is just as broken. for example; we have votes of no confidence in our government, that if the current minority government can't get the official opposition to agree to a fiscal budget, a vote of no confidence goes in, and an election is called automatically. none of this "you get 4 years no matter what" stuff. elections can happen at any time in Canada. so we have YEARS of government where NOTHING gets done because the ones in power actually have NO power to put anything through! it's very frustrating as a citizen!
I personally think you stay the course with Obama. Romney's policies, if indeed he has any, won't do any of us any good.Gimli 1993
