Thanks! I'll have to wait until the next time I'm on vacation to check for trolls weekday mornings, though. LOL!

What good is a high stock market if people aren't working?

Oxymoronic statement that. (No insult intended).

People have to be working if there is a high stock market.

Otherwise, there would be no stock market at all.

Welcome to FR. T'is a good place to learn something.

"why does this happen?"

It often happens when someone posts an article that is less than 100% sunshine and roses. At that point some self proclaime "Super Patriot" objects and if the poster is new, blames the poster for the material in the post. It seems that some FReepers can't handle ideas that might possibly conflict with their preconceived notions. It is similar in effect to playground bullies picking on a new boy in school.

In this particular case, however, the newbie who posted this article is a known Frequent Flying Troll, not just some new kid on the block.

If that is what you really think, then why are you still here? What you just said is crap. If you don't think it is, then if you had any self respect at all you would leave. If you do think it is crap, then why are you saying it?

[Mr. Mojo]

It's not about that at all. The vast majority of Zots are posted by (temporarily) reincarnated Freepers, who signed up (again) just minutes before posting their article. If established Freepers posted the exact same articles (in most cases), the thread would stand un-Zotted.

[tubebender]

Shouldn't the question be "What Happened to the 309,000" people that dropped out of the work force. Did they find work but weren't counted in the survey by any chance...

[Preech1]

Die Troll Scum!

[John Beresford Tipton]

The guy posted an article from a reputable source, MSNBC, and belatedly supplied the url addreess. Then a bunch of people jumped all over him. That is what happened and you are right to say it is crap.

[Lead Moderator]

You are right. And everyone who posts reputable articles from MSNBC gets nuked. So does anyone who points it out.

We just keep you around to confuse everyone else.

Thanks, LM

"And why does this happen?"



You see, the trigger impacts the target creating a chain reaction or fusion reacion where the morons and liberals are vaporized into sub atomic DUst. Often the surviving molecules drift back to the tard board wasting bandwidth but giving the freaks in Greenwich Village something to entertain themselves with while they pray for Castro to become President of the United States. Or while the liberal nuts pray for Hillary to get elected. It's the same thing.

[lonevoice]

How sad that you think this. Maybe you'd consider asking the Lead Admin to be added to the zot ping list. That way, you could see why each of the zots take place. Nearly all of them are re-generated DU zombies getting banned over and over and over and...well, you get the idea.

[Beck_isright]

You should upgrade to my industrial strenght ZOT. -:)

Just an anecdotal comment based upon personal observation in the Central Florida area:

Many of the "strip malls" I have observed with declining tenant occupancy are now FULL and the parking lots as well. Since the DOL stats on jobs come from the receipt of data from cooperating firms (read OLD LINE LARGE), the job stats have become increasingly a marginal indicator.

John & Jane "Six-Pack" are becoming small-scale entrepeneurs and are not even in the DOL data universe!

This is why the jobs figures obtained through the Commerce Census Bureau surveys are increasingly at variance with those of DOL's Bureau of Labor Statistics!

A point worth keeping in mind!!!

[NRA2BFree]

ping!

Don't want you to feel left out so here's one for you too. LOL

ZOT!!

[John Beresford Tipton]

I would agree with you totally if the poster, whether from DU or anti-DU, posted something that was itself offensive. However I think it reflects poorly on FR if a post that facially appears to the public as well sourced and sincere gets zotted. It is as though FR, a site ostensibly for discussion, can't allow even if a non controversial posting if like the Green Hornet, people at FR feel they "know what evil lurks in the heart" of the poster.

[BlessedBeGod]

ROFL! Thanks!!! :-)

Think what you want.

If you want this article to be taken seriously, go and post it yourself. It would be.

Thanks, LM
