I was just doing a little internet reading on senate.gov and clicked on the map of of the chamber (http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/special/Desks/chambermap.cfm). My first reaction was to wonder why Democrats and Republicans are seated on different halves of the chamber? I guess I assumed that the seating would be fairly random. I wonder what effect this physical division of congress has on party divisions, if any.

So, does anyone know why the seating assignment divides the parties?

This is hypothetical and doesn't apply to me or anyone I know.

Given that a couple have sex and the woman gets pregnant accidentally, they have a choice of having an abortion. Now, the man doesn't want a baby for whatever reasons it may be. However, the woman does not want an abortion. Given that she has the baby, the man will be required to pay child support. How is that fair considering he cannot partake in the choice of aborting the pregnancy? I realize it is her body and it's her choice, but she should raise the child without the support payments if she wants to keep it. However, this would only work if the man is against the pregnancy upto 1 month into pregnancy, but should pay child support if he changes his mind too late in the pregnancy.

This way, it is fair to men who get trapped into child support or parent hood by deceptive women, and innocent/victimized women still get child support if their partner leaves them with a child.

SCENARIO: A company needs help for a special project & enters into a contract with Mary to complete it. Just as the project is wrapping up, a new need arises for her services and she is asked to continue with the company. The supervisor begins working more closely with Mary and requires her to use company materials and equipment while adhering to company work schedules. After two years, economic conditions force the company to make budget cuts and Mary is asked to leave.

30 days later, a major contract is acquired by the company, which reinstates the need for Mary’s services. However, the supervisor chooses to hire his equally-qualified cousin and not offer Mary the opportunity to return.

Was her termination legal under employee-at-will? Has there been a breach of implied contract or good faith?

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country"

Here is a clue, this person is, or was, on the extreme right...

this Y!A contributor commented on Palestinian attitude:

"---It's much like "tenants" demanding ownership for the house they're renting from an owner."


There might be a big difference between ownership and illegal occupation. Are you aware of that?

".....and hundreds of Palestinian lives are not worth 1 Israeli fingernail...."

"Those dam*ed Arabs.......they should just go back to where they came from and this whole thing would be solved. "

They are in their homeland. The Zionists come from Europe.

According to studies in 2001 there were 4 million documented homeless in America which only accounts for aproximately 35% of the total homeless population, approximately 39% are CHILDREN, 30% are white, 45% are black, 37% are veterans and 10% are hispanic. For those of you who will try to make it out to be their own fault keep in mind that 37% of homeless have JOBS!This is really disturbing, pro illillegals will support the drain on our economy and resources with sympathetic BS, while the children of the U.S. sleep on the street. Keep in mind I went to public school but even I can figure out that if we are only documenting 35% of the homeless and came up with 4 million the total would be between 11 and 12 million homeless in America. Isnt it a little coincidental that there is aprox. the same number of illegals in this country?
Who comes first illegals or citizens of this country? Where is our loyalty? Who is next?
Will your children sleep on the street to accomodate illegals?
