If this place doesn't pick up a little, I'm going to have to start an argument.

:argue:

So please pick your favorite:

1. Rebirth!
2. Don't eat meat!
3. Hallucinogens lead directly to enlightenment!
4. Jesus and Buddha are the same!
5. Meditate instead of reading books!
6. Buddhism isn't a religion!

It's tempting and thanks for the thought, but the 'lower back guy' stays for the time being.

Oh, I'm very fond of the 'lower back guy.'

By the way, I haven't forgotten my beautiful Achi Drolma avatar, I just like rotating things around a little.

The comment pertained to an avatar that Drolma was using on another forum. In reality, she's a chaste nun. :biggrin:

P. S. Are you in the market for buying a bridge made out of solid gold? Basketball

Yes, I am a chaste nun. So everybody had better behave themselves in my presence.
Please disregard the BS meter beeping loudly in the background.

We could argue politics. I'll go first. Republicans suck! George W. is the worst president of all time. He's an idiot, and January 20th can't get here soon enough. I'm just afraid he'll do something in that time to make matters worse. Did I mention that unemployment in the US is now at 7.2%. Thank you George for what you did to the economy, and making this country go to war for WMD that never existed...NOT!!! Evil or Very Mad

Nice try davcuts, but that won't work. Sadly, what is there that you've said that anyone here is going to argue with?

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: DECEMBER 2008


Nonfarm payroll employment declined sharply in December, and the unemployment
rate rose from 6.8 to 7.2 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor reported today. Payroll employment fell by 524,000 over the
month and by 1.9 million over the last 4 months of 2008. In December, job losses
were large and widespread across most major industry sectors.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

In December, the number of unemployed persons increased by 632,000 to 11.1 mil-
lion and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent. Since the start of the reces-
sion in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has grown by 3.6 million,
and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.3 percentage points. (See table A-1.)

The unemployment rates for adult men (7.2 percent), adult women (5.9 percent),
and whites (6.6 percent) increased in December. The jobless rates for teenagers
(20.8 percent), blacks (11.9 percent), and Hispanics (9.2 percent) were little
changed over the month. The unemployment rate for Asians was 5.1 percent in Decem-
ber, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed tempo-
rary jobs rose by 315,000 to 6.5 million in December. Over the past 12 months, the
size of this group has increased by 2.7 million. (See table A-8.) The number of
long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) rose to 2.6 million in
December and was up by 1.3 million in 2008....
