Well you're demonstrating that very effectively, sir! I see how you got to 28K posts...

This is what I posted earlier "For per capita GDP the US and China are nowhere near the top"

Now pick up your junior high dictionary and look up "per capita"

All clear now?

This Everfresh guy is really going off lately. Every single thread.

C'mon man, take it down a notch!

Also props to the companies that do give maternity leave and recognize the value of family.

Sorry, I just feel a responsibility to post when idiots start posting erroneous things


What do you mean?

You said USA and China are not anywhere close to the top two in GDP and in reality they are #1 and #2. And it's not even close.

You have to be doing this just to get under peoples skin. No way you are that stupid.

For per capita GDP the US and China are nowhere near the top. look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...PP)_per_capita US is between 6th and 10th well behind such countries as Norway and Switzerland. China is between 93rd and 96th. Again, your arguments hold little or no water

Its a good thing I did not say per capita isn't?
Otherwise I would be wrong.

As a matter of fact I said NOT per capita.
LOL

LOL
Even the post you quoted of me I said not per capita.

Why don't you read post #11 dips hit

LOL it amazes me that I even have to explain.
But what I said in the bold was not per capita.

I said total work hours meaning total combined work hours not taking each persons average into account which is another way of saying per capita.
I will just assume you are trolling like you did yesterday in the BC thread and assume you are really not this dumb.

Like I said.
Total work hours. LOL
2 days in a row you say I said something I did not say. LOL

I even said in my post not per capita but you say I said that anyway. LOL.

Once again. I said total work hours.
Not hours per citizen.

LOL
Well per capita GDP is much more important than total GDP. So you're point about working hours means nothing

Thats debatable.
Regardless everything I have said is 100% true.
Regardless or not it means nothing or not means nothing.

Those other issues are subjects for another time but I give a lot of props to companies that treat their employees well. There is actually an interesting issue going on here about a local supermarket where the CEO was ousted and he was known for his generosity with employees. It is all over the news, he is trying to buy the company and hopefully they do let him back.

People are picketing outside the stores because of their admiration for him.

Sucks, but as long as greed is good in this country, it will always be that way. Even unions don't have it as good as they once did.

he following are facts about persons defined as "poor" by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:

  • Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
  • Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
  • Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
  • The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
  • Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
  • Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
  • Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
  • Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.
As a group, America's poor are far from being chronically undernourished. The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually the same for poor and middle-class children and, in most cases, is well above recommended norms. Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100 percent above recommended levels. Most poor children today are, in fact, supernourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II.
While the poor are generally well nourished, some poor families do experience temporary food shortages. But even this condition is relatively rare; 89 percent of the poor report their families have "enough" food to eat, while only 2 percent say they "often" do not have enough to eat.
Overall, the typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family's essential needs. While this individual's life is not opulent, it is equally far from the popular images of dire poverty conveyed by the press, liberal activists, and politicians.
Of course, the living conditions of the average poor American should not be taken as representing all the poor
