    It's really a shame that Canada hasn't taken more of an interest in their unemployed and aren't putting some of those programs into place.

    Msg 23,
    It depends on what you mean by "owe". If one is unemployed and living well off investments then, sure, they owe. If one is unemployed and in poverty they certainly don't owe money. They do "owe" equal time should the community face a disaster and require the assistance of everyone.
    Any questions?

    Yep.
    What is equal time and how is it measured?

    Not really. Canada has a lower unemployment rate. Discounting the US extension Canada has a longer benefit period and let's not forget medical care. Loss of a job doesn't make much impact on medical care. Maybe no private room but who wants a private room? I insisted on a 4-bed room when I was there. It sort of pissed them off as my employer would have paid for a private room but I didn't want one. The reason being the nurses stop by more often when there's more people in the room and one can get their attention. When one snarky nurse questioned why I didn't take the private room I told her I liked to see others suffer.

    It's measured by comparison to others. What amount of time are others putting in?

    Which has nothng to do with the programs that you were complaining about.
    Do you have the ability to remain focused on the matter at hand, or has this condition of yours always been present?

    So your qualification of "equal time" is that everyone must put in the same amount; because if this is what you meant, I fail to see why you weren't able to clarify your position earlier.

    Talking about programs are you saying unemployment offices offer budget classes?

    Oh, sorry. I assumed you knew the definitions.

    Equal:
    1. as great as; the same as
    2. like or alike in quantity, degree, value, etc
    3. evenly proportioned or balanced:

    Time:
    1. the system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future;
    2. a system or method of measuring or reckoning the passage of time:
    3. a particular period considered as distinct from other periods:

    Equal time: As great as or the same as a particular period considered distinct.

    They have contacts to such, if the person is so inclined.

    Evidently you were unaware of even what you meant, seeing as how you were asked about 4 times and were confused as to how you intended it be used.

    It appears you're the one confused if you found it necessary to make 4 inquiries.

    And yet you appear to be glossing over the fact that you were unable to explain your own usage of the term, for 4 inquiries; but you go ahead and continue your spin, in an attempt to move the focus from your own lack of abilities.

    It's just one of the MANY tricks USF uses to avoid actually debating.

    He likes it when he can bog the discussion down in grammatical minutiae.

    Or it could be that he really is so stupid he doesn't know the definition of "equal"...I wouldn't be surprised.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?
