And U6 (the true, economic unemployment number) went up to 13.9 percent. And the number of "total job increases" is almost identical to the number of new part-time workers. Translation, we are creating a part-time labor force.

Award88 2 months ago on Police shoot shoplifting suspect after struggle

@pcjohn, if the suspect were to have used the taser on the officer, it would have incapacitated the officer. That would have provided the criminal with the opportunity to grab the officers service weapon and potentially use it against the officer. Thus the officer did what he felt was prudent to protect himself and potentially the lives of others had the criminal decided to use the service weapon after acquisition.

Quit being a damn prude. If you cannot see the comedic humor in these videos, not to mention the comradery that they can help foster by having the groups come together to work on something outside together outside of their normal tasks, than you are too narrow minded. Lighten up and get over it, that or just don't watch. Last I checked nobody was forcing you to.

Haha, can you imagine seeing a bunch of police chasing after a doughnut truck with lights and sirens? "Just free the doughnuts unharmed and we'll let you go."

Clearly Mack has never traversed the diverging diamond at Ashford-Dunwoody, as you and I obviously have. I have found it to be far better than it used to be. Additionally, I think Mack has failed to look at officials across the country where the DD interchange have been installed and have been declared successful.

Award88 3 months, 3 weeks ago on Buford puts security cameras in elementary school

While both you and thurisaz have valid points, that was not the reason given by the school administrator. That is the argument most of us are making is to at least be honest with the reason for installation. Saying you are installing the cameras in the wake of Sandy Hook is absurd because it wouldn't have stopped the tragedy from happening.

Award88 3 months, 3 weeks ago on Buford puts security cameras in elementary school

"In light of the shooting in Newton, Conn"? Oh so now we can have a video taped historical record if a shooting ever happened. I totally understand putting surveillance cameras into the school, but don't use the Newton shooting as your excuse when cameras clearly would not have prevented the tragedy.

Award88 3 months, 3 weeks ago on Lawmakers pitch gun plans; leadership is cautious

This article contains a factual inaccuracy. It continues the false notion of a "gun show loophole." There is no such thing as a gun show loophole. Background checks are required for a firearms purchases at gun shows, when you make your purchase from an FFL dealer. Background checks are not conducted when one private individual sells a firearm to another private individual. The legislation to close the so called loophole, merely seeks to ban private person to person transactions, which means my father would no longer be able to give me one of his guns.
