“Meaning why am I only getting the max of $405 a week but in NJ the max is $650 and in other states the max is way more than NYS which is the most expensive city to live in”
Etson – I think in our nation’s past – most Americans didn’t find themselves without work for more than 9 months hence the norm was 6 months of payments. But now for many Americans they are finding themselves without work for 12 months or more so yes I think unemployment benefits should be paid out until you find a job that pays MORE than your weekly unemployment benefit and we shouldn’t have to wait for those duds in congress to pass extensions!
Why avoid drinking with the Irish?
For me it’s a problem b/c they start singing songs about blowing up English people after a while, but I’m sure that’s not an issue for you..
Etson – Better “Soldiers of the Rear Guard” than “Knees Up, Mother Brown” or “Down at the Old Bull & Bush.”
Judaism is a religion (and a culture / way of life), but I wouldn’t consider it a nationality necessarily.

Fine, dave, but I guess you and I can’t share 5 bottles of wine over brunch again.
How about your favorite nationalities to fly with?
