it can be hard to find work Harmony, but there is work. The only people who really have an excuse to be chronically unemployed are the legally disabled AND I don;t mind paying tax to help THEM.

No one is being realistic if they are waiting around for the ideal job. It is also not realistic to expect the chronically unemployed to be officers unless they are trained and have clean back grounds. Someone who can't work because they don't have ID needs to go back to their country and enter legally or get a work permit. Even non drivers can get a state ID for a nominal fee.

We all know what happens. The states are paying some of these folk too much because unemployment is paying more or close to what they'd earn if they worked....so they rent a 2-3 bedroom place, split the rent and live off their checks and maybe some drug money. (I'm not stupid). This would be OK as far as I am concerned EXCEPT that I am paying for it....no it is being EXTORTED from me in the form of taxes that are SO high I can barely afford them myself. And the drugs are illegal ... so the chance of these types of individuals being police? It's not realistic.

I was in that position once where my unemployment was equal to what I earned at a new job (after subtracting out mileage and a clothing allowance). But I took the job.

Certainly there are some who fit your profile of a good community cop. Those folk need go apply....no one is going to "find them a job"....if someone is not working their "job" is to go find one

Either some really do prefer unemployment or they are not keeping their appointments at the local job bank

absolutely goof...HBD

have a good one and make it great

men are not equally choosy?

Could be that men are just naturally hos (kidding)

I am the one clanking with ear buds in I can't hear it anyway

but you might catch me cussing when I turn a corner lol

perhapseth , but that picture gives me headache so I find it hard to look at it and thinketh

not sure I'd invite him to my particular 3-some but help urself Dub lol

I might prescribe him some Ritalin tho

well there might yet be a sloppy waitress in his future...

that would be a threesome

Germany and western europe have huge immigrant issues and recent violence of Islamist terrorists. The police alone may not be enough

Angela Merkel has not been powerful enough to say no to the Euro and open borders

They have every right to keep Russia O-U-T What happened in the Ukraine is certainly one justifiable reason (but IDK if they are keeping them out - just saying it is understandable if they do)

If they discuss China they should be wary of how much money the west owes them


just guesses here. I haven't read any good intell yet on the conference

both I would imagine....your feelings ARE real :)

"instinct" is a neural function

because that is so, I am inclined to attribute the 6th sense as a neural function also....jmho

simply not interested

it is a very odd phenomenon. I come from a small town, went to small schools up thru undergrad school. I never encountered this type of behavior until I moved away from home and was divorced years later. So it is either something accepted in the midwest, or times have changed.

yes this is what I mean

still I want to tell the OP that it is nice to hear something positive about females, and explain that in the USA not all grown women like to be referred to as girls

I agree Sas, but enough of it sells to make it worth their time. They do push an agenda but they also still have to make money.

Saying that one cares nothing about all of this while still tuning in daily is either self deception OR lack of awareness that one has other options. (I'd like to think the latter)

note: I know you do not tune in daily so that was a general reference not meaning you....or anyone in particular

hush up and eat your breakfast

I didn't know that "girls" were permitted on the site
