1) i never said any job. unemployment insurance is to make sure that you have the opportunity to find another job to maintain your standard of living. if you're living fine off unemployment payments and you're taking a bit of a pay cut in a prospective job, you're not taking a standard of living hit, just a pay cut. 2)form of insurance, yes, but it does not pay out forever. there are limits on it. if you get fired, you can't sit on unemployment until you die. hence, if you found a job that helps maintain your standard of living, you're more rational to take the job than not take it and possibly end up with no income, hungry children, a forclosure, reposessions, etc.. 3)ironically, i'm not. i'm quite pro assistance programs and mildly socialist. unemployment, welfare, etc. are all great programs if they are assisting the people who need them. people who don't need them shouldn't be drawing from them, though. 4) you don't think i made an argument? and if thats the way you feel, thats fine, you don't have to answer me. i don't appreciate shifting the focus to me instead of the argument, though. arguing by analogy is limited, but i think my inquiry is specific enough to fit inside the valid range.
