Politics & Government - 8 August 2006

My wife works with a company that falls under the requirements of the FMLA. When you are hired, you sign a contract saying you will not sue for anything (kinda standard BS). A co-worker is pregnanat and the company told her that she is only allowed 2-months leave (supposedly per signed employee contract). Should she push for the 12-weeks? Hire a lawyer? BTW - the pregnant co-worker is Vietnamese, as is a substantial part of the workforce, but there is NO FMLA poster or information available in her language...another violation?

Any thoughts?

Consider: if the word "tack" was considered indecent and f*ck was proper (yahoo wont let me type it)... that would seem pretty ridiculous. So isn't it equally ridiculous that f*ck is indecent and "tack" is not? I mean, you can say "poop" all day... but if you say sh*t (censored by yahoo) it gets bleeped out on t.v. How ridiculous is that? And what about all the foolish Christians who believe that such "indecent" words are crimes against God? Thoughts please!

moment? If you read a letter from a soldier telling you how wrong he feels about his orders to protect an oil company executive in Iraq would you believe him? Or would you call that soldier a commie canadian "fa gg ot" for not accepting the reasons for this war to be WMD? Why would you believe he and thousands of his fellow servicemen/women would lie about what they see in the streets of Bagdad? Please back up your reasons for believing or not.

After all, alcohol is a drug too. So if drugs are outlawed, so too should alcohol be outlawed. And i know no one wants to go back to prohibition, so why not just legalize marijuana, etc.?

Mexicans can call TAXPAYING Americans Gringos, Racists, and other degrading names, but Americans cannot call Mexicans W*tbacks, B.eaners, or any other derogatory terms. What makes Mexicans so special? Stay tuned tonight for uncensored trials and tribulations from w*tbacks and other illegal aliens.

Yahoo! police, try to catch me. There are many computers, many handles, and many other ways to circumvent your systems. Anti illegals WILL fight back with a vengeance. YOU WILL NOT SILENCE US!!!!!

If the Republicans tried to I mpeach Bill Clinton for getting his knob polished. Then why isn't G.W Bush being Impeached for Not doing anything about Gas Prices? Is it because he owns stock in oil companies and is making millions as we speak?

How come everytime the pro-illegals don't like what is said, they rush to the conclusion that if the illegals are deported, who is going to pick the fruit?

Its always that or the race card...

I was listening to CNN the other day, and they were talking about picking the fruit, etc.. and how a little less than 2% of the illegals are in the fields picking fruit....

Obviouslly someone LEGAL is out there picking fruit besides illegals... So, all those pro-illegals bringing up the "picking fruit" card from now on, can shove it up their booty...

why do we so willingly accept rules? and why do they keep changing them to suit themselves?

Example: If someone murders a pregnant woman and her unborn child its double homicide, but no doctor is ever charged with homicide for an abortion.

Example: If you believe a woman can decide at any point whether she wants a child or not, what's to stop her from killing her child when he/she is a teenager... or other age?

Please, use LOGIC.
