The Blue Board

I'm glad I don't base real life strictly by links on the Internet.

I'll take this sentence by sentence.

If you are of able body and mind and don't have a job then IMO its by choice.
So, all able-bodied unemployed people are lazy and are actively choosing not to earn any money? Fantastic analysis.

"Links to prove anything, it's statistics using lazy people with poor work ethics that don't want to get a job."
This is literally nonsense. You messed up at least one word somewhere in there.

"And many "unemployed" work for cash which also helps to fudge the numbers."
What do you mean by "many"? Got any evidence of this?

Roman Numerals = mighty slayer of straw men.

I have a master's degree in political science (although I chose not to pursue that profession, i.e., academia...instead, like you apparently, I chose the law). You constantly asked for "evidence," as though you are sparring in a court room shouting objections. Apparently peer-reviewed and methodologically-sound research and studies are the only thing that you consider "evidence" when it comes to the societal problems discussed in this thread, which backs you into a very intellectually dishonest corner if taken to its logical conclusion: if such studies or research (i.e., "evidence") do(es) not exist in the social science literature as it stands today, then there must be no proof that any given theory or hypothesis as to whether a causal relationship exists is true. Because it can't be proven, then it must not exist at all. All anecdotal comments must be cast aside as non-empirical retard-speak as well as those who utter them.

You do realize how utterly ignorant and ridiculous that position is right? An entire liberal arts major (History) and its various permutations are built almost solely upon anecdotal evidence and hearsay. Yet no one in their right mind would contend that in light of this obvious deficiency that somehow "history" as a subject matter is not important or legitimate. You understand that right?
