how do you get a job is you can't read and write very good or at all
most (?) young people didn't finish high school. the stats are out there.
they barely can read and write. I'm not exaggerating. nor do they want to learn how.
there isn't any 'up' for these young people. those of us who can read and write are paying the price.
meth use is rampant and doesn't seem stoppable.
cities and states are crumbling as I type this.
prisons are full to the brim.
the neo cons are fighting for private health care.
down and down our country spirals. its depressing.

17. I hate to pile-on, but if you are going to post about illiteracy, it is best to proof-read. nt

19. The grammar and puncuation
mistakes here are staggering in and of themselves.
how do you get a job is you can't read and write very good or at all
should be:
How do you get a job if you can't read and write very well (if at all)?
And it really just gets worse. Isn't irony great.

So much for the left's compassion for those not as perfect as they are.

I'll bet the primitive was just trying to make a funny, but as usual with the primitives, the funny flopped.
Primitives have no sense of humor.

Dumb is not funny on DU, its a way of life.

There's always restaurant jobs. If you can read "hamburger" and "fries," you've nailed it. :(

Seems to me if ya gots a strong back and any kind of the idea of self preservation, it just ain't that hard. Many of the guys I worked with dropped out of school. Many of them also self educated themselves enough to start their own companies. Hmmm, could it be that the way to success is just self worth?
Oh, damn it, I forgot we're talking DUmp monkey. Can't get by without mental illness. Kinda shoots a hole in the self preservation theory.
If I go a single day without learning something new, I feel like I've wasted a day. Wonder how that works over at the DUmp? Is there a way they can collectively learn? Lord knows they can't do anything else on their own.

I hate to pile-on,......
Primitives have no sense or realization when it comes to just how put off normal people are by their attitudes. They aren't that smart to begin with, yet they speak as though they are and try to treat others as less than themselves, especially if they disagree with them. The last thing someone who disagees with you will do is listen if you act like the primitives do, and the few with which they marginally have things in common know that to join hands with them on single issues is as good as poison. PR and being tactful is definately not their game.

Primitives don't give a rusty about anything but their pet peeves. Remind me a lot of my 2 year old grandaughter.

Yeah, but at least she's cute (Right, Gramps!). You'd think a group who want to convince others to see things their way would at least try some decent PR just to see if something works, but there I go using that "think" word in reference to the DUmmies.

Heh! She's cuter than a bug's ear! Still she knows how to make PaPa melt in his shoes with a little bat of the eye.
Primitives make me belch!
