A thirty-something Caucasian male (PC term for a "typical white guy") is denied a job opportunity because he may not be the right fit due to "cultural differences", as put to him by the company recruiter in a post-interview hpone call.
When I heard such BS, my jaw dropped, I couldn't speak for a moment.
Why is it that a young white male is the only unprotected class in today's job market? Every job application has that standard verbage about equal rights regardless of... blah, blah, blah (you've seen it), but in reality, how is that enforced? If I wanted to get to the bottom of this, what are my options and avenues? And, in the improbable case that I do prevail (hypothetically), is there a penalty imposed on such company? What kind of penalty? I certainly wouldn't want to work for these jerk-offs, but would like to see them fined, or something like that.
This issue has been bothering me for a while, so I would certainly appreciate qualified answers.

I currently live in Las Vegas and pay $1,300 a month for a 3 bedroom house in an upscale section of town (that's not including utilities, etc.). For about the same price, what type of housing (whether it be house, apartment, condo) can I expect to find? I don't need 3 bedrooms, so I would be more than willing to live in a 1-2 bedroom if it was a nicer area for the same price. Any suggestions or thoughts?

We have looked into every shade of hardwood, and we have decided to put very dark hardwoods in our foyer (the rest of the room is carpeted.) Are there any known downsides to very dark hardwoods (vs. light floors?)

Ok, So i really don't like my boyfriends ex. (J and I have been together over a year and 1/2 and he's never given me any reason not to trust him).
But this girl is overly nice and she has it in with him mom. She's from a totally different culture (she's hawiian and i'm from Chicago). She calls him an leaves him messages for every holiday. Even little ones like memorial day? I mean really is that nessecary? She sends his parents gifts for the holidays even though they haven't been together for over 2 and years. She also happens to be flipping gorgeous and every in his family always talk about how nice she was. I just hate this girl. It is wrong to want to tell J never to talk to her? What should i do??? Its really upsetting me. I don't want her calling him. OR sending him hand written christmas cards (when he recieved he let me read it). I'm sure she's a nice person but i just want her to dissapear.

now if the doctors say im 29 weeks going by the ultrasound does that mean they are also going by my LMP or the conception date?

What Im saying is, are the 2 weeks they usually add on because of your LMP aslo accounted for whan they determine how far along you are by the size of the baby?

I just did a motor saw on a 3000gt VR4(twin turbo) and after installing the battery I am not getting any power what so ever. I checked all my connections, fuses, and made sure i had good connections to the terminals, as well as charging up the battery. I dont have a tester but I do get spark from the battery when I connect the terminals so I do kno it has some juice in it. When I put the key in and turn it, I get nothing at this point, no lights come on, no radio, no sounds, nothing. I am not sure what I could be forgetting? If any one has in intelligent ideas, any help would be great, Thanks...
