Total labor force is 153 million. 15 million people in the labor force don't have jobs. 15/150 = .1 = 10% unemployment.

I would count everyone else because they don't pay for themselves. The entire weight of the country is on the backs of nearly a f*cking third of us.

Haven't read the whole thread, but I seriously hope people aren't being asses about this.

I felt pretty bad seeing the video, and I hope he can have a swift recovery and make a strong comeback next season. It's absolutely terrible seeing stuff like this.

Damn one setback after another. Looks like nothing is going to come easy for this guy. I just hope he comes close to playing at the same potential once he returns from the injury.

Oden has been the bright spot for the Blazers this year. This is just depressing.

This is getting ridiculous...

By the way, didn't read the entire thread, but here's a FULL VERSION of what happened (you see it happen entirely, not a small clip).

This is bull*hit. God darn.

My man gone down, yet again!

Hell, if you wanna feel sorry for somebody, how about the " Confirmed " 150 Million Americans right now under the age of 50 who are without a Job in this country!! But feel sorry for Oden ?


B!tches PLEASE!!

Wait. What?

It's confirmed dude. 50% of Americans are without a job. Forget the 10% number they came up with a few weeks ago.


:lol: I'll definitely believe a guy who speaks "gangsta" (at sixerbond). Hehe

atleast those guys gave us a few great years. greg was just starting to come into his own and perhaps starting to shed the injury prone lable, then BOOM out for the rest of the year. he needs to drop the weight though his knees cant support it.

Man, we're a month into another season. He hurt his knee 5 minutes into the season last year.

He's a Bowie. At some point, it's no longer just bad luck.
