Happiness Index Plummets for Hispanics, Blacks & Young in US

Why?

The Demographic time bomb will take care of it.

Fat angry old white men are dying like flies.

 

Oh indeed. The problem with the new demographic is that it is very poorly educated. That means it lacks the human capital necessary to permit America to compete effectively with better educated foreigners in places like the Sinosphere. The inability to compete effectively translates into declining living standards. I think the new demographic is going to get eaten alive by the Sinosphere, BRIC, etc. The failure of the American public school system has real life consequences. See how this all works?

 

I was retired by then .

I had no earned income, just my pension.

And I hadn't started drawing my social security yet.

So I didn't get a dime out of those cuts.

And like any good conservative, I only care about (*)(*)(*)(*) if there is something in it for me.

 

And like a good , you can never say I WAS WRONG! Even when thousands of people KNOW you're wrong?



It's OK, Tom Joad. At least you came back to face your mistake. That's more than your prez woulda done.

 

Gotta wonder why you think the skinny angry young white men taking their place are preferable?

 

Have you been out lately?

Try it sometime.

Take a walk in the park.

See how many white people you pass vs. brown people.

Then compare the ages of the white people to the ages of the brown people you see.

 

LOL, I'd say you should take that advice. I work 40 hrs a week in the real world.

You don't think there's any old brown people? LOL I'm fairly entrenched in interracial studies everyday. Here's the demographics of my zip code:

Let's see yours: http://zipskinny.com/

 

Why?

You just proced my point with you data.

 

BFD.

$600?

$1200?

So what?

If that amount of money is significant to you and you think the Republicans are your friends you are out of your mind.

They don't give a damn about people like you.

Their friends are the kind of people that spend that kind of money on a bottle of wine.

 

My, but you get testy when proven wrong.

Point is... the middle class has gotten NOTHING from Barack Obama. Not the Hispanics.. not the Blacks, not the young, not the old, NOBODY.

Why is that OK with you? Why would you rather argue about the significance of $1200 instead of addressing the fact Obama has failed the middle class?

*Obaaaaaama*

Let me guess, you voted for him and can't bear to admit you were WRONG.

 

Ummm, okay.

 

I know everyone is putting all the blame on the economy, but here's another interesting thought:
Perhaps one of the reasons young adults in the USA are less happy is because it is becoming harder for them to find dating partners. With the rapidly increasing ethnic diversity in the cities, a smaller portion of the people around these young adults are from a similar ethnicity. And we all know that people tend to be much more likely to date with, and especially marry, someone from a similar race/ethnicity.

And if these young adults do find dating partners, they are more desperate and willing to settle for less. I have been warning about this phenomena, but so far it seems everyone has just ignored it, brushed it off as silly, refused to admit that in some situations ethnicity might actually matter. Especially places with very high levels of diversity.

 

you can answer at any time now?

 

That's your problem.

If you had made better life choices perhaps you would have been able to retire by now and work 0 hours per week like me.

 

They say when people retire too early, they get bitter and angry.

Appears to be something to that rumor.

 

If you say so.

I'll go ahead and take an anger management break.

I'm an old white guy. I'm really pretty happy. Why shouldn't I be? After all, I have a host of young black and Hispanic folks who are going to allow themselves to be taxed to death in order to pay for my Social Security and Medicare. Those young folks are just going to have to do their duty. They must learn to accept those things in life which they cannot change.

 

Why are blacks and hispanics not any happier?

Where's that video of that black woman that thought by Obama being elected he was going to pay her mortgage?

/thread

 

Bolstering the spirits of African women. Posted these statistics on another thread recently... it's no wonder Black Americans are unhappy. They should demand the same level of attention from their president... as a reward for their blind loyalty.

 

come on you have had weeks answer already mouth woman

 

Did you notice that every country above us on the happiness scale, has socialized medicine, maybe you're on to something......
