Yeap, your a college educated white male. Heaven forbid if they can't find jobs. ;)

Technically if a minority with less comparable skills than myself and I both apply for the same job he'll get it.
It's happened before and it'll happen again.

I'm not working in my field I have a degree in, and I didn't even put my degree on the resume. I'll go ahead and let you play the race card, M Dogg, it's your perogative.

That's straight ignorans. That's the the fear white males have of losing there country. Fact, white males are the hightest paid people for doing the EXACT same job as either woman or another ethnicity. FACT, white males have a higher rate of employment than anyone else, and Fact, it is said taht in elections like the presidental one coming up, that witht he popularity that G.Bush enjoys with white males, he doesn't have to focus his attention trying to gather any other group, ethnic or woman, because he can win on just white male alone. Cry me a fucken river about how white males are getting screwed, 'cause honestly, you only feel worry for your self. I am a latino male, graduation rate from high school of 60%, we don't vote, and as proven in California, no matter what are numbers are, politically, we get pushed around, and you know what, fuck all that, I don't cry about that shit. I type down information, I let you guys know the issues, but in my everyday life, all I do is do what I have to to make myself better so I can get ahead and put myself in a situation so when I have a family, they'll be taken care of. Here in California, a place with no Affirmative Action, my dad graduated college, and went looking for a job, and with a college degree, a history of being a union leader, and even ran for mayor of his hometown, when he looked for a job, he only came up with janitor. A white man at his work, with no college degree, with least qualifications as him is his boss. My dad works hard, and is threaten to be laid off because Arnold is cutting the California State university system budget. But you know what, fuck it, through my dad's example, you don't get mad at the way things are, you make yourself better. My dad is going to grad school now, and fuck all that, we are going to prove that we can do it. So you can say, oh, a minority will get the job with less qualifications, but in practice, it's the white man that gets the job. But all that does is make people like me get more qualfications, so we can change things to be fair. I'm against AA too, but I do want things to be fair.

Guess the democrats are fucked, since the only chance they have of winning is if our country fails miserably somewhere and they can blame it on Bush. Of course, mark my words, none of the candidates for president will praise this extraordinary news. Instead, they'll say it doesn't mean anything, and try to cast it in a negative light. M Dogg will do the same. What's good for America is bad for Democrats, because they want us all on welfare.

You are truly a piece of work. I get news from the LA Times, an unbiased news paper that is regonized across the nation. You go to Fox News, known for it's praise of the Republicans. And why would a Democrat want everyone on welfare, when it was Clinton that did welfare reform, when we believ in people paying tax,a nd people on welfare don't pay taxes. Also, like in the Clinton years, whats bad for the nation is good for the Republicans. After all, G.Bush wasn't even a popular president until 9-11, and his ratings where slipping until the Iraq War. Republicans use propoganda in a way I haven't thought before possible. I mean, I was told that being liberal and not blindly follow Bush was un-patrotic. What's good for the nation is good for everyone, after all, Al Gore gained the second highest amount of votes in presidental election history when the nation was doing well in 2000; 1996, Clinton won in a landslide when the nation was doing well. The problem is that right now, many lay offs are planned for after New Years, check the news, and many people are not collecting un-employment because they already surpassed the 6 months and still ain't found a job. Right now I know quiet a few people on un-employment, and it's all good to you, because you don't see it, but honestly, it's a real problem that needs to be adress by the president instead of just ignoring the problem. I don't care what party the president is, United States citizens having jobs is good for everyone.
