Nope. SockportJambo did it himself. The invisible sky wizard gets zero credit for that... unless you also want to give him credit for killing that family of five yesterday on their way home when a drunk driver hit them head-on? What about that tornado that the sky wizard decided to unleash upon a town in Texas killing a little girl? Is this the God you've been sucking up to?
Obama's plan gives me a $400 per year tax cut.
McCain's plan gives me a $80 per year tax cut.
Would rather be one of the lucky few to have taxes raised by Obama.

If I'm sleeping under a park bench, I have to have faith it's where God wants me to be. OK, that's a bit of an oversimplification - I (personally) do not believe God ever WANTS anyone to suffer in any way whatsoever. But I believe God takes the bad situation you're in and turns it into something wonderful, to His glory, if you let him.
I've had plenty, I've had next-to-nothing. Through it all, He's been there. He always will.

I respect your thoughts Nisamudheen , But all these chaos is created by us (here "us" is Not US  ) itself right.
So like 'US fed' closed their eyes (or shut the doors) infront of LehMAN ('lay' man) brothers , the God will close his eyes to this issue.Don't ask me why? If you insist , well He/She(god) is busy with next 'US' election campaign.
Are you sure GOD want you to be here?

I volunteered for many years in the mental health community for a local crisis line. After doing that for a year or so my church recruited me to do the same thing for church members (with the addition of prayer of course).
During that time I created my own personal “Religious to Secular Terms” dictionary. I did that so that what I learned in each environment could be generalized. (Yes, I know that makes me a geek – that’s why I read codeproject).
Amazingly, most religious terms translate pretty well to the secular world.
In this particular case, telling someone who’s grieving (for a job loss or anything else) that “Its gods will” is equivalent to saying “Sh*t happens” in the secular world.
Both sayings have a grain of truth to them, but all this really does is minimize the experience that another is going through. This is truly heartless and callous.
The difference between the secular and religious world in the particular example, is someone saying “Sh*t happens” in the secular world knows they are being an a**hole while the religious person might actually believe they are providing comfort.
Either way it’s still heartless and callous.

It really depends on the way it is said and the relationship the two parties have with each other.
"Sh*t happens" is typically said among close friends as another way of saying, "Oh well, that sucks, but you know what, it happens. Don't let it bring you down and move on."
"It's God's will" is typically used to make people believe that there's a good reason behind the misfortune, since God's behind it. So since God is behind it, you're not supposed to grieve because grieving would indicate to God that you don't approve of his divine plan. That would make God angry and he would subsequently add you to his sh*t list and put you on the short road to hell, which you may just get to know very soon if you don't stop grieving! "So stop it already, you God hating freak!"
See the difference?

I have chosen a "I'm not too worried about my job" option, but a propability that I fail so many courses that they would kick me off is really low by now. However, a little worry motivates me to learn an apparently useless stuff sometimes. 
BTW, an increasing density of job polls on the CP caused me to adopt such questions to my current life situation. And I'm not certainely sure if it is a good thing.

And never had one either.
So I can't lose it - would that mean that I should vote "I'm not worried at all about my job" .. ?

No, you're untouchable. You laugh in the face of a recession.

... it's the corporate nonsense.
I've got one group I'm required work with that's fairly openly trying to take my group's job away. These guys are incredibly adept at self-promotion.
Our newest project's schedule is unachievable. We all feel like we're being maneuvered into failing so that they can terminate us for cause, thereby avoiding any severance issues.

2009, 2010 and at least 2011... 2012 should start looking up. Back to 2007 levels by 2015. Then 2030 we'll be tanking again having learned nothing from 2008-2012.

I'm a contractor, I am always looking ahead for the next contract. It may not be that easy to get but then that is factored into my lifestyle. A couple of weeks/months hunting around for a good one is the price a contractor pays.
So I can comfortably say I'm not worried!

Well I don't know about not worried. It has been a real PITA to find decent paying contracts since last January. I find them but it takes a lot more effort than it used too.

I'm in the tail end of 4 yrs in the same contract and it was not through an agency so it has been 7 years since I had to look to the market. A little out of touch I must admit. While I'm not looking forward to it I am prepared.
