I think it's offensive to those EMPLOYED in those jobs. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 07:53:54 PM

So really, what Jens said might be offensive to Americans, but before everybody jumps down his throat, you might want to consider the different circumstances.


I don't think it's so much offensive to Americans as it is offensive to the unemployed who can't even find ditchdigging jobs right now.
