Emphasis is my own.

While we are having to import labour to fill the jobs market there is no reason why anyone should be unemployed.
The govenment of the day is at fault for not putting proper training into place,and for some reason ignoring the young people who don't go to university.

I doubt that we have to import labour to fill jobs. If the Eastern Europeans were not available then government and employees would have to train those available but not skilled. There are in fact 10m unemployed - the remaning 8m + simply qualify as something else under this governments benefits/classification scheme. Not good for the taxpayer! Good for employers.

How nice of you! Hopefully when I finish university. My plan is to do a PhD somewhere in New England, and most of that is easily within driving distance from Southern New Hampshire. I am serious. But you may not be rid of me, the internet is world wide you know.

By the way, just because I have different political opinions from you is no reason for you to be thankful of me leaving the country. I guess some people just aren't ready for liberty...

Just because Brit and I disagree with you doesn't necessarily mean we would be glad to be rid of you.

Thats the way you made it sound like. In the other thread Brit was asking God to protect him from numerous groups of people and I fell into many of those groups. It would seem a libertarian is not welcome here.

In the present day to say young people turn to crime because they don't have a job is a poor excuse. In the late 20s early 30s when there was massive unemployment, ex office workers who had never picked up anything heavier than a pen took jobs as navvies just to earn enough money to live! In the present day welfare system no unemployed person will starve, unless of course they're a drug addict or alcoholic!

Open carry is allowed in most states.
