Agreed. A couple that I know both got laid off from their jobs. The husband was the first to get laid off. She has since found a new job through volunteer work at the local hospital. He won't even look for work until his unemployment compensation about to run out.
It call the the abuse of power by men in the Roman Catholic Church. You do know there was this little thing called the Protestant Reformation. Even the Roman Catholic Church of today would not agree to do some like the Crusades today.
Somehow I don’t think G_d thinks that Eric Rudolf or the man who killed the late term abortion doctor as a “Christian”.
You lack a fundamental understanding here. Stalin didn't kill all those religious people simply because he was Atheist. He fought against them, and whooped their ass, because the Russian Orthodox Church was the only thing that could challenge his power. The Russian Orthodox Church was about as powerful as Stalin, and for Stalin to have complete control he had to remove the one thing that could influence his people and possibly turn them against him.
On the other hand, you have the religious nuts who killed because their imaginary role model in the sky told them to.
I wish Stalin had conquered the world and killed off religion for good.
I'll admit to being a Christian and a conservative leaning libertarian. Where is your proof that I am a racist?
anyone that disagrees with waw is automatically labeled a racist, it was in his orientation when he started working for cnn.
Stalin killed people because they didn't believe in his form of statism (See Trotsky). Stalin killed the best part pf his military officer core in the 30's because he was paranoid about military coup. For Stalin it was all about the power of the state. Which can also be said of Pol Pot, Mao and Hitler.
lol
Fox News is ridiculous. They basically linked themselves to funding the Muslim center that they are so against.
Jon Stewart lays it out nicely.

so you honestly think they're going to tell you 1000 people applied for each of the 12 jobs and you have a snowball's chance in hell of landing one?
To be honest, he could be correct. He does live in a much lesser populated area than we do, so his results could be accurate.
I paid the premium for Careerbuilder's resume service last year, which in turn allowed me to view the approximate of how many people have applied for positions that show up in my searches and in general. The numbers are ALWAYS in the 1,000's for positions that could have been posted even just that morning, or previous day.
Here, I've gotten tired of clicking and applying, so I just did "select all" down the row of results and shot my resume out.
It's fucking retarded. And another problem is as you mentioned, corps are scaling back, which means lay offs. (Hi!) And when they do open positions, it's the Georgetown grads that get in above anyone else, regardless of experience, because they hold that coveted degree from that coveted college in this pompous, prickness of an area. Everything rides on prestige and that effing degree.
Another thing that is fucked up, is the amount of recruiters instead of the actual companies that are contacting you. And agencies...they want you to come in, sure, but they REALLY want you to fill that position. within that big IT corp, that you have no fucking clue how you could pull off even pretending to fulfill the duties of. They modify your res, send it to the company...I most definitely don't feel comfortable doing that. One agency wanted me to modify my resume to "include" heavy editing experience. Could I be an editor?
....I guess. I'm no dummy, I'm sure I could figure it out. BUT, they also wanted me to "include" the platforms involved with editing and I was so not comfy doing that! I walk in to the job and not know what the fuck to do with these..."platforms."
Anyway, they didn't keep in touch.
As I mentioned, I'd shot my resume down that row of results in Careerbuilder, many, many times...and they included positions from receptionists to Directors, not that many calls in return. So, I know that even if I wasn't able to view the number of applicants, I know that they have so many effing applicants for their stupid receptionist because it wouldn't make sense for me not to receive any reply. There were many days that, thanks to Adderall, I applied to 90 or so positions.
Take the number of grads/students at the ol' local G-town, the number of lay offs, and the smaller number of jobs available now...the masses of applicants are astronomical and really make you feel like you're wasting your time.

What's the general population of Detroit? Poor & Black?
How educated are these people?
So, how do you expect these people to have any chance at filling these positions that they aren't even remotely qualified for?
Whoops...anyway, I've given up thinking that I'm going to land anything with longevity. It's mainly contracting now and and anyone farts the wrong way and you're gone. So, I've decided give up with all of this bullshit and do something about it. I'm goign to pursue a broker's license. This will be my "coveted piece of paper" that I will be able to offer to employers. Fuck my awesome references, my well formatted resume, my impressive company profile...it's not working for us. Every single day is like groundhog day with anxiety and I've had many pockets of that "wasting my time" feeling.
Liam is the only one with stability and I'm sick of it. I've worked in appraisal in WI, but here, this is not a field that is easy to get into. So, brokering it is. Money + stability + universal flexibility. If I happen to receive an offer for a position in the meantime, so be it, the extra money would be nice, but I need to think about our future and stability.

Qualification? Not legally written, but come on, don't be naive.
I'm merely referring to the masses that are unemployed in Detroit vs the "1000 + positions" still open that Coqui mentioned.
If they are not remotely qualified, they will not be hired...and those positions will remain open unless a non resident applies and moves there. It's not merely due to the fact that these people may be lazy. Such a broad term in this instance.
