So companies now, have to employ, a certain number of different pople, eg non whites, disabled people.... you must have had to fill ot the form...... companies love diversity, and have government targets to meet. It has been said, in some cases, black people get a job, to make up the numbers, i think this is terrible, so....... From now on, if your WHITE, just tick bangladeshi, and hindu - the company gets the numbers they want, other white people dont get turned down for jobs because of statistics.... and they wont ever dare turn round, and say your not a hindu, or its straight to court..... Am i being un reasonable..

I mean if your black, surely you dont want this kind of thing to happen, just as much as if your white.. the best person should get the job right?

So im not being racist.. its the government being inclusionist

What are your thoughts.. is this reasonable...

In the old days the Roman Emperors and senate did believe that they have the mandate from Heaven to monopolise truths and justice. Is history repeating itself ?

I went to the UK treasury website and worked out that you have to pay tax rates something as follows in the table below (sorry if I got the numbers wrong....)

My question is, do you think we should cut taxes for people who earn less than £37,295 a year and start a new, higher tax rate of say 50% or 60% for people once they start earning more than say £50,000 or £60,000 or £100,000 per year? I mean how much money do those people actually need?

don't know how the figures would add up, but it does seem a bit unfair at the moment...

CURRENT TAX RATES:
0 to £4,895 = tax free
£4,895 to £6,985 = 10%
£6,985 - £37,295 = 22%
£37,295+ = 40%

Today actual father of nation of India is taken as MK Gandhi .But in reality the great independence provider who fill the heart of Indians with real self pride and lurk for complete independence was THE GREAT BHAGAT SINGH. Books even say that Gandhi was JEALOUS of bhagat singhs fame .Even gandhi is taken as main guity man in bhagat's death inspite of power to save bhagat singh he sighed irvin pact without any help to baghat .You can say its a political idea to save his own fame from Bhagats reputation.NOW Indians will decide who must be a real honour getter of this Pride image i.e -FATHER OF THE NATION.

From what we see on the US media, we are fed almost daily only with the most outrages views on Islam, like that muslims are all opressers of women, or the latest Bush ultimato that try to link islam with facism though that even Italians deny that link!

Why is it that there is not much attention is being given to the bright side of Islam, like that it shares alot of values with Christianity, like the belief in all biblical prophets, or that the acceptance of Jesus,for example?

Is it that people in Charge do not know about Islam?

Or Is it because those people like to push people to live in fear to invoke their vision about putting both sides in a war that would be of their benefit?

Or is it that they view Islam as a threat? A threat for people, or a threth to the Imperialist hegemony desire or what?

Or if you see a better answer, please let us know..

There's this president who cheated last election. The guy who supposed to be the new Prez. died recently of heart attack. Lots of protests and rallies were raised against this dirty cheating politician but she controls the military, the congress and part of the senate (through bribing), thats why she remains at her seat. Now, she wanted to change the constitution so she could stay there forever, and asking for reconciliation so the country will move on according to her. Her family involves in a lot of scandal especially in corruption. Does our country still have hopes?

Do you find it ironic that white americans are complaining about LEGAL immigration when they themselves were the first (uninvited)immigrants to that continent?

Do you find it laughable that all people of colour and immigrants, Christians, Hindus, atheists alike are constantly being targeted and denigrated following the mindless actions of a few MUSLIM fundamentalists?

This is about what happened on August 10th with my sentencing. I got lucky! Instead of my lawyer, who was running for the same vacant seat for Distict Judge as the Judge's husband , they had another lawyer step in. So that helped! Also because I had surgery on my neck about two months before sentencing I had my surgon write a letter stating If I got pushed around in jail I could possibly get paralysed so, the Judge put me on house arrest for 4 months.The Judge waived all fines and cost and I received NO PROBATION!! The super bad thing is the tether cost a lot of MONEY So let me be a lesson for all of you DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. It cost too much when you get caught and you could possibly kill someone.
