http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htmHere's the 7.1 million. Still don't see how you equate that to all the jobs created listed in the OP being taken by part time employees. That's what you need to provide a link for.

First of all, your link says nothing about 7,100,000. You need to provide a source to back up that claim.
U3 is used officially for a lot of reasons. Stock market stability, peace of mind for the consumer, investor. Showing a lower number helps improve th economy, because people get their financial confidence back. They don't call them economic depressions for nothing. They aren't trying to hide anything. It's all there for everybody to see, it took the both of us like 3 seconds to Google U6. Nothing is hidden. The world economy has more to gain by having a more relaxed population. It increases spending, buying, selling. It stimulates the economy when people see 5.9% instead of 11%.
Obama has kept promises. He would've kept a lot more if he wasn't getting blocked by Republicans every time he tries to do something. They refuse to pass bills written by fellow Republicans trying to be passed by Obama and Democrats. Had the Tea Party not taken the Republicans over, the country would be a lot better. Obama is a way better president than Bush.

So I'm leaving my building, and I close the lobby door. I always close it quietly at night to not disturb anybody, so I manually close it instead of letting it close by itself and rush out like I do during the day time.
Door closed. I walk forward. I'm outside the lobby door, but there's like an entrance area before the lobby door, about 5 steps. You have bad visual for the sidewalk and I've almost bumped into people by accident several times. Anyways, I hear this scooter engine. I didn't care at first, but I noticed it was really loud and sounded really close. My dog was anxious to go but I pulled him back and kept him in the entrance. All of a sudden ZOOM a pizza delivery boy goes past me at like 40kmh at least. On the god damn sidewalk. On a sidewalk with entrances to buildings where it's nearly impossible to see the sidewalk to the left or right, WITHOUT his lights on.
In one second, my dogs head could've been smashed in or ripped off by this asshole. Had I not closed the door slowly, had I not paused at the entrance for those 3 seconds listening to the engine and wondering why it was so loud, my dog would've been killed, and I'd be in jail right now for avenging him.
Wow. In one second my entire life would've been ruined by some jackass too lazy to drive in the street and park in between some cars. I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight.
For discussion's sake, post any similar stories. And please, take that extra moment to check yourself and your surroundings, and to always be cautious and not underestimate how stupid, reckless, and lazy people are. Had I not, my best friend would be dead.

Blue Dream, K.C.K.C., Presidential OG (By far my favorite) and various others I purchased and forgot the names of.

It takes 8 years to fully go off the grid.
What'd you grow?
Why 8 years? I grew many things actually. Tomatoes, cannabis, bell peppers, green beans and a variety of other things. I can't wait to get an even better yield next year.
Which cannabis strains did you grow, I mean?
Ahh, plenty of both Sativa and Indica, I haven't tried any hybrids. I also had some crops keep the male plants for edible oil I make myself.
Strain names?

And how many of those jobs "created" are people that got a second and third job? Oh, and that unemployment number is only those that are unemployed while trying to find jobs. The actual unemployment rate is far higher
http://rt.com/usa/us-unemployment-rate-percent-808/
This is 2012 but:
The US government’s official unemployment rate, now at 8.3 percent, only takes into consideration those who have no job and are looking for work. This number is called a “U-3” rate. It does not count those who have stopped looking for work or who are working part-time.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics takes these other factors into consideration for data it calls the “U-6” – and these numbers are shockingly higher.
U-6 data includes “discouraged workers,” which the Bureau defines as people not in the labor force, but want and are available for work and had looked for a job in the prior year.
Those who have not looked for work in the prior month are not included in the U-3 unemployment rate. >rt
>2012
You'd think every American would be happy unemployment is down at a percentage that was said would not be reached for years. Unemployment is down, tons of jobs have been created. You can put any twist on that you like, but facts are facts. http://portalseven.com/employment/unemployment_rate.jsp
I agree, facts are facts. Facts here is that the number of jobs "created" includes people who have to get a second and third job because of the inflated and unproductive economy. Other fact is that the unemployment number in your source is the one that's being twisted
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm
Straight from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Measure:
U-6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force
NOTE: Persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently looking for work. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
Sept. 2014:
11.8% unemployment
I seriously love that because something factually contradicts what you said, you try to play it off as incredibly or whatever.
Go on, try to twist the facts once again
I don't understand how you can post factual evidence that is against your argument and act like you're right. Why do you think the government uses U3? A giant conspiracy to trick everybody and take their freedom? Would you like to post actual evidence supporting your argument that every single one of these new jobs created are taken by people as second and third jobs? Do people take second jobs? Absolutely, minimum wage is garbage and if you live in a city like LA you won't live outside the ghetto on it. But to say the majority or even all these jobs are taken by people getting second and third jobs is bullshit unless you provide a valid source. Provide a source that these jobs are taken by people with part time jobs or simply people already employed, and you may have a point. Fact of the matter is you don't want to see the economy get better under Obama because you hate him. U3, U6, doesn't matter. You just don't want to accept it. Unemployment has gone down accounting for U6 and U3. You're arguing a non issue.

Couldn't stick it out for the 8 years huh? So much for going off the grid.
8 years? I am still off the grid, just hanging around my center with sattelite internet now that I'm done growing for the year.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/share/share-news-our-economy-making-incredible-progress?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=email378-text1&utm_campaign=economyEach month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts out a report called the "Employment Situation." It's what tells us how many jobs were created in the past month, and what the unemployment rate is.
This month's report is in, and the numbers are strong:
The economy created 248,000 jobs in September. And the unemployment rate dropped to 5.9 percent, the lowest rate since July 2008.
And while we don't put too much stock in any one report, there's a clear trend here.
This month's report was a clear indication of how far we’ve come since the recession, but we've still got more to do. We know that many Americans aren't feeling enough of the benefits of this recovery. That's something President Obama addressed yesterday, when he laid out his plan for a new foundation for America's 21st century economy.
Thanks to the determination of the American people and the decisions of President Obama's administration, our economy is stronger than it's been in years: Businesses have added 10.3 million jobs over 55 straight months, the longest streak on record.
The unemployment rate has fallen to 5.9 percent. That's a number many economists didn't think we'd see for years.
We've still got more to do, but this is news worth sharing: new jobs, a lower unemployment rate, and historic progress.

You're completely correct, don't listen to these dumbasses. It's exactly what the song is about. If you go to lyrics pages for the song, you can see people incorrectly put "it's my law" instead of bismillah.
So yeah, don't even bother with ignorant people like this. Unlike how many people think, their songs do have a lot of meaning and aren't just mindless words with no meaning. But the average person isn't intelligent enough to notice or even care in the first place, as you can see with the first and third poster in this thread.

I legit don't understand how you could have a problem with mother Theresa.i stopped reading there by the way.
She thought abortion was the biggest threat to peace on Earth.
She supported Indira Gandhi.
She didn't discriminate between people who could be cured or not, thought poverty and suffering brought people closer to religion, encouraged her sisters to rely largely on faith instead of medicine and forcefully baptised the dying.
She also accepted stolen money from Charles Keating and refused to return it.
To name but a few.
And she was ugly.

What city in socal?
Glendale.
What the hell? You're right in LA. I'd kill to live there.
I hate it here. It sucks. Trust me there is nothing fun about it. I want to leave.
Dude you're in LA. One of the best cities on the planet. Move to a different area of you don't like it, but it's pretty damn good.
You closer to the hills or what?
For the record I don't live in LA. Glendale may fall under LA county, but it's still it's own city.
Can't you just move?
