Praising God banned....Allah......that's OK

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and believing what they say on the news about the economy being on the upswing...I don't believe it is, I believe it's smoke and mirrors, voodoo, etc...guess time will tell.

Not sure how many Americans are drawing the maximum amount of unemployment....but the maximum amount in Kentucky is $400.00 dollars per week...and I know one guy, a good guy, a good solid United States citizen, served his country in Vietnam, etc who's been drawing it for two years now...I realize not everyone is eligible for the maximum amount pyable, but that's a lot of money the U.S. is handing out once you figure in how many people it's being paid to. My gosh man...how deep is the U.S. Pocketbook anyway?

, I don't know the max amount, I think it depends on how much you make while working. I collected unemployment back in 09 and I got 415 per week for the first 6 months. got 3 weeks pay from my 1st extension and was called back to work. and the amount drops each time you get an extension. you have to work to receive any unemployment, you get back from a system you worked for years and payed into. the government isn't handing out anything, it's yours and if you are unemployed you deserve it.

Since when did employees pay unemployment this is paid by the company not the employee and the more unemployment you have the more the company pays. This pay is computed for 13 weeks any thing over this will have to come out of the government tax base.

you don't write a check for it yourself, but it's like the company health insurance you get for working. you don't write a check for that either, but it's part of your pay for the work you do. the company don't pay into unemployment insurance for you because you are a nice guy. they pay it because it's the law, if you work for a company and make 1500.00 or more in any quarter of a calendar year, the company has to pay it in for you. and if you work 25 or 30 years and lose your job, your entitled to 26 weeks of unemployment insurance. and after working that long if you need an extension, there's been more payed into the system than you will get back.........unemployment compensation according to the Internal Revenue, is classified as a welfare benefit. I don't buy that, welfare is something given without working for it. unemployment is something you worked out. like I said it's yours you have earned it.

your entitled to 26 weeks of unemployment insurance. and after working that long if you need an extension, there's been more payed into the system than you will get back.........

First.......entitled is such a BS word to use. YOU have up to 26 weeks where you can collect it. To use the word entitled, you TREAT it like welfare, which it is not.

Second.......you are wrong on paying more into the system then you will ever receive. If that were the case, then we'd not be trying to figure out how to pay for Unemployment Benefits every time the Congress meets. Maybe for a particular individual who collect unemployment benefits for 26 weeks.....ONCE in their lifetime, but even then I doubt it.

From Wiki:

The FUTA tax rate was originally three percent of taxable wages collected from employers who employed at least four employees,[23] and employers could deduct up to 90 percent of the amount due if they paid taxes to a state to support a system of unemployment insurance which met Federal standards,[21] but the rules have changed as follows. The FUTA tax rate is now, effective after June 30, 2011, 6.0 percent of taxable wages of employees who meet both the above and following criteria,[22] and the taxable wage base is the first $7,000 paid in wages to each employee during a calendar year.[22] Employers who pay the state unemployment tax on a timely basis receive an offset credit of up to 5.4 percent regardless of the rate of tax they pay their state. Therefore, the net FUTA tax rate is generally 0.6 percent (6.0 percent - 5.4 percent), for a maximum FUTA tax of $42.00 per employee, per year (.008 X $7,000 = $56.00). State law determines individual state unemployment insurance tax rates.[22] In the United States, unemployment insurance tax rates use experience rating.[24]

It's a shame so many Christians know so little about other faiths, or even their own. News flash: You Christians worship the same deity the Muslims do. "Allah" is nothing but the Arabic name for God. So why would any Christian object to singing "There is no truth except God?"

Whats a shame is people like you dont know who the muslims worship. They worship mohamad and you will find his bones in medina. If you ever need another lesson just let me know. I will agree with your statement that ( There is no truth except Gods ).

Ummm, Mohamad was a prophet, just like Jesus. Muslims, Christians, Jews all worship the same god, but just have different names for god. All three religions were started in the middle east and all derived from Judism.

UMMM, I will beg to differ. I dont worship the same God that the muslims do. Jesus died and was resurected and is alive and well today. Can you say that for mohammad? As I stated, his bones are in medina waiting on the resurection.

Andrew, having a common origin is not being the same. This is one of those things that people have said so often that it rings true, but it's not.

The god of Islam, and the god of Judaism, are incompatible with the God of Christianity. We should all find common ground, and try to get along, but it doesn't do any good to pretend we worship the same god.
