I was fired. I wasn't receiving benefits at first. But about a month ago I started receiving unemployment benefits. All because I answered an honest question on the survey asking if I was in school. If I had known that my honest answer would result in no benefits at all then I would have answered no to the telephone survery's that you call in each week. I have a family, of three four including myself. The government does not care if my family and I survive. I enrolled in an CDL training course at the City Colleges in CHicago. It is a 6-10 course, and I will come out with my CDL license plus the actual CDL certificate. A job paying $10 per hour or less would not be beneficial to my family, we won't survive, so I am trying to better myself by enrolling in the training program. IDES is saying that I can't actively look for a job, because my schooling is from 9am- 3pm. Which is untrue, I have gotten interviews for jobs that I have went to. Can they take my unemployment away?

The financial position of the US has declined dramatically.
The US is heavily indebted and plundering the Middle East is it's last grasp. Its on its way out and The US knows it. Do you think England will have new illegal immigrants from the states with their counrty go's down the toilet?

America can get that 15 % in 1 phone call to Russia, Venz, Africa, or lots of other countries. Or simply Alaska. America needs even less, if it didn't sell the Alaska oil to Japan.

There's no nukes that can hit the 50 united states of America. So why not just let the middle east solve their own problems?

I'm mean, no one votes in Saudi Arabia and they treat their women like dirt - and we're not 'spreading democracy there. Castro's a bigger threat to humanity then Saddem ever was.

btw, is 'national interest' a code phrase for Corporations interest?

My school is Pa cyber charter school so if this takes effect, i have to find a new school and that wont be good because the only reason i went to cyber school is because every day id be beat up by people cause im sorta a geek. I know that you might not be in a charter school but please help anyway. This isnt only my school by the way. Heres what my teacher wrote. Now is the time to speak from your heart. Now is the time to speak from your mind. Imagine if PA Cyber just vanished one day. Your lives would be dramatically different and forever impacted in a negative way. It is not only your responsibility but also your duty to keep your school up and running. State Representative Beyers has introduced a bill in Congress (House Bill 446) that would change the way cyber schools receive funding. It jeopardizes the existence of all the cyber charter schools in the state. She is attempting to put 17,000 students out of cyber schools and pl

Okay, number one, does anybody have any real reasons?? I wouldn't like to say I am pro-Bush these days, but it seems like everybody hates him because it is almost fashionable. Would you be able to run a country like this, just think about it?? There is much more than what you can see from the media. And besides, congress makes the true decisions, Bush is basically just a cop. But besides that, how would you want a president to run this country. If so many people are so anti-war (not saying I am pro-war) then what are your ideas on getting terrorists out of our country?? Just sit back and watch muslims bomb our cities and kill millions of people without fighting back? Okay, so Bush really hasn't done much, but what president since like Roosevelt did?! Plus, why was he voted back in? I mean, Americans can be so 2 faced. They will do some serious bush bashing and then what do you know, he is voted back in. What are your ideas? Any true reason why you hate him?

They are planning to ship about 37,000 vehicles here and by building them in Mexico thereby bypassing the 25% duty if they were to come from China. Is this wrong is China going to bury us or is it our lame Government that is letting this happen????

A rumor is going around that he will be moving. Some say to China. It was also rumored that his ranch will either be sold or given to his children.
The reason for the move has not been made clear but some say that he will have more opportunity there then he does here because he does not have much credibility here.

As a UK citizen we are proud of our National Health Service. OK it's not perfect and there has been a certain degree of mismanagement in recent years but at least we know if we fall ill we do not have to worry about insurance policies or cheque books. It is a simple concept: everybody in the country pays 10% of their salary and everybody looks after each others' health. Is it not time America got into the 21st century when it comes to taking care of it's most vulnerable citizens.

The Chinese say these cars will be less costly than cars made in US and about 6 states have them on order already. The corp will receive many tax breaks. Who exactly is working overtime to destroy the productivity and well-being of the US. Does it seem like the quality of life is crumbling here while 'big wigs' make these 'beneficial' BLOWS to the middle class.

Before you answer think about this - Women's liberation was funded by the Rockefellers , Ms. Magizine was funded by the CIA , before women's liberation no women were taxed { workers tax didn't apply } and before women's liberation there were vitually no pre-schools because women stayed home with there children . In short I see women's liberation while on the outside a wonderfull thing , I thing people failed to see the underlining reason for women's liberation and no it wasn't for equal rights .

Question - Anyone agree ?
