Gfted1 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Nah, I think Ill just bide my time for the next fear report. I'm guessing it will be something about human caused global warming wiping out our coffee supply, or something. Don't want to blow my wad over lettuce! Blech.

Gromnir Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) is bad logic, but comforting, to see all "fear reports" as somehow identical in value. a positive and a negative cancel each other out, or some such nonsense. you not like the content o' the report and chances are you can find a report condemning the exact opposite danger. sure, such ain't actual what happened above with your linked article as you misidentified the danger, but even so, you ain't alone in finding illusory comfort in conflicting "fear reports." could be worse, gifted could subscribe to the inevitability o' doom. why worry if we is all doomed anyways, yes?

Gfted1 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Exactly! Where are we on eggs this week, great for the body or silent killer? I don't know where people these days get the time and energy to panic over every single possible topic, and the inevitable counter rebuttal. It like a 24/7 job just pointing it all out.

Gfted1 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Prime age employment highest since 2008, need more immigration to stop this outrage! Oh WoD. Now I need to point to vague reports of faceless masses that have completely stopped looking for work and fallen off the "books". Remember, the most thing to remember by far, is that everything is crap. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Unlike the unemployment report, the employment report takes those masses into account, which is why I posted it. You'll notice that employment is still way down from the 2000 peak. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
Gromnir Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 graph shows we ain't even back to pre-housing bubble burst. use 2008 as your benchmark is kinda wacky. from wod source: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-is-the-real-unemployment-rate/ kinda funny, but were trump who were claiming the real unemployment rate in early 2016 were +40%. can do all kinda fun things with numbers. no doubt will confuse the hell outta gifted.

Gfted1 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Just read an article about people being upset with the court sketch artist for how Taylor Swift was portrayed in her current court case.

You'll notice that employment is still way down from the 2000 peak. Thanks Obama! to be fair, the current employment rate has very little to do with any recent President, save for clinton. clinton's bank deregulation (yes, it were championed by a democrat president) were the major cause o' the recent economic downturn. otherwise, Presidents have had only minor impact on such numbers. blame market forces and Congressional impotence would be more appropriate. obama's stimulus actual likely prolonged the economic crisis, but not by a huge degree. 'course such did have measurable impact on the ever growing deficit, so chances are in 5-10 years you will be cursing President ______ when you should be blaming obama. Presidents get too much blame and too much credit. and usual the wrong President gets the blame and credit. HA!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, there aren't cameras in every single courtroom? I know Ive seen various YouTubes where all hell breaks loose in a courtroom during a trial but maybe all courtrooms aren't equipped with cctv? Id honestly be shocked if every single word and action weren't being recorded. Now that I think of it, whats up with still using a court stenographer in todays day of digital recorders?

I guess it depends on the trial, like how OJ's trial was heavily televised inside there while Cosby's wasn't. Though OJ's trial was just as the 24 hour news phenomenon was starting to take off.

Agiel Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) "Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it? Whether she's naked under that toga. She's French, you know that?" Edited August 10, 2017 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
