Middle class is an entitlement or is it earned by someone who pulls themselves up from the lower class?

Let's not peddle this bull**** 'entitlement' argument that conservatives think is so clever.

The situation is more gradient than that.

Regardless of what form of action or responsibility you place on the individual, you cannot deny that the unemployment rate among youth is absolutely pathetic. This isn't because they aren't capable, it's because there are no opportunities for them.

Is there one gap or two in a three tiered society?


What class are you when you are 18 and fresh out of high school? Lower, middle, or upper?

The jobs picture for young workers (which Statistics Canada defines as those between the 15 and 24) got slightly worse, as their unemployment rate is now 14.3 per cent. Youth employment is roughly at the same level as in July 2009, when the labour market downturn hit a low.

11,271 jobs posted in Saskatchewan today....


How much is a bus ticket to SK? About the same price as an iPhone.

I see we're back in bickering territory then.

I'll come back when you guys can muster some logic juice.

Your solution for the country is for everyone to move to Saskatchewan?

Over 65,000 union jobs will be 'moving' to Ontario from the AB operations alone. Sask's oilsands are equal in size (if not larger) than AB's... How many jobs do you figure that will support in Canada's mfg hinterland?


Oh, you dropped the Greece WMD. Things must be getting desperate for your argument now.


You're all about entitlement Flossy, and we are seeing first-hand what path it leads down. Ignore it all you like, but lemme tell you that iPhones are probably the last thing on the minds of the entitled groups in Greece right now, I suspect that they are worrying about how they will feed themselves or get ahead in life.

Apparently one and it's getting as wide ass their X-Box asses.

I'm pretty sure that it will be an inalienable right pretty soon if it's up to the usual suspects

What's your fascination with Greece, Captain Hindgrinder? More red herring?

Can't answer the question that's been asked twice I see.

Good deflection though... Actually scratch that, it was a piss-poor attempt, almost of 'Flossy caliber'

Oh? Did you ask me a question worth replying to? Must have lost it in your bullcrap

If it has to do with Graduation, I can understand your confusion

Moving to where there is work is what seperates the haves from the have nots.

If an excellent opportunity that pays enough to raise a family is only a $150 bus ticket away there are no excuses.

Hopefully....if you bailed out of school, then what? Wander around downtown playing Angry Birds on Facebook on your iPhone?

I'm wondering if Lone Wolf bailed from school. He appears to be having difficulty with this math problem.

Yawn..

Still no answer.
