Is it legal for the cashiers to beg customers to donate to their literacy fund? The cashier said if she didn't get a certain amount each day by the end of her shift,,she would get a warning from the manager...Some people simple can not afford to give their spare change..Is it possible to lose your job just because people can't give a donation?

I think people who disagree with the socialist party r either rich, or already have an education. There r so many seniors who can not afford their drugs each month. Kids would be evaluated and placed in jobs of their aptitude. All people would have the same chance to excell in their career.
NO< I was 16 and married when my Dad died, If not married at the time, yea I could have went and got payed for going. I had a job for 2 bucks an hour and finished high school. My I q is about 140, but I never had a chance to go to college.
Before I got married I slept on the floor--no mattress--my room was rented out. The floor is an excellent place to sleep,.
I know I am smart, just could not afford college---my dream job would be of several-------algebra teacher/professor,geometry teacher/professor or forsenic crime lab research.
What is wrong with sending our best kids to college? republicans making enemies everyday.!
The p00r kids usually r the 1st to join the armed forces!!!! ????

The Universe as we all know is the space and it belongs to no one person or no Country.

Nature or God created the Universe, as many believe. It is for the inhabitants of the whole world to enjoy.

Every nation on Earth has the right to the space, people believe, not so, George Bush in his usual bullying self has proclaimed Space as the sole property of the USA and no other shall have any right to it.

Which Country or its people can argue with him without fear of being bombed.

Does this mean the USA can lay claim to anything at all, are they trying to take over the whole of the Universe including the Earth.

There must be some people who read this, who have some views on it. It will be interesting to see what you write.

Is there any support for a constitutional change to make the American more like the British system?
Where the loss of a "vote of no confidence" can make the government fall - end of term or not.
Or is American politics too volatile?
How about now?

What are the restrictions on the guns that you're allowed to carry? What does the "background check" entail? I'm researching this for my older sister.

P.S. this was the best-fitting category for this question.

Yeah, a Republican candidate, in Orange Co, CA, targeted and sent letters out telling immigrants that if they voted they could be arrested.

Now, since the Republican party is trolling for immigrant votes they have asked this man to disassociate himself from the Republican party.

I am white and recieved a promotion. I was subjected to racist remarks frequently. When I showed another white person in the office a picture of my kids, two weeks later I was demoted to the position I had before showing the pictures. I have already involved the EEOC and they say I have a good case. My job will recieve the papers of descrimination in 10 days. They tell me they wont begin the investigation for 6-8 months. The doctor has put me out of work for severe stress and depression because of this. I know there will be reprocussions for reporting them. Can the NAACP help me with this?

There is a mountain of evidence to support the theory and debunkers such as NIST and Popular Mechanics do not answer the questions. There are literally dozens of proven inconsistencies in those reports. Just listen to a debate w/ pop mech and you will see how ridiculous they sound. Is anyone who has done the reseach denying this? All of your questions can easily be found if you take some time and do the research.

We support a man that most of the country hates. If we really couldn't think for ourselves then we would just start hating him like everyone else. So why do people say that?

people a question?

Because that is what the majority of polls do. They only have to ask over 1000 people for it to be a ligitimate poll. I believe the latest poll asked 1007 people.

1000 people divided by 300 million.

The entire party has become a complete joke. They have our military completely committed to a situation that realistically has no solution. By removing Saddam Hussein, we planted our fat asses in the middle of a civil war, and now as election time grows near, they want to distract us from the ant pile they made us step in.

Their distraction is Immigration issues. Republican politicians are on every talk show lately, they want a fence, and they want to scare YOU. I talk with half a dozen mexicans on yahoo messenger everyday, we are speaking in English (because they are more educated than us) and none of them give a crap about moving to this glorious land we think we have. Grow up fellow US citizens, we aren't the center of the world.

US army concedes failure in Baghdad

By Demetri Sevastopulo in Washington and Steve Negus, Iraq Correspondent London Financial Times

Published: October 19 2006 19:00 | Last updated: October 19 2006 19:00

American and Iraqi efforts to improve security in Baghdad have failed to reduce bloodshed in the increasingly violent Iraqi capital, the senior US military spokesman in Iraq acknowledged on Thursday.

In an uncharacteristically gloomy admission, Major General William Caldwell said the recent surge in violence was “disheartening”. He said US and Iraqi forces would have to “refocus” security measures. The review was demanded by General George Casey, who commands the 140,000 US troops in Iraq.

Okay, How do you refocus?
Maybe its time to bring the troops home and let Iraq Take Care of her own.

Or do youthink that we should pull the troops out of Iraq and concentrate on the security of our country, secure our borders, not because of Mexican people, but for safety in general. I don't think it's fair that we singled out one group of people as our reason for closing the borders. We are spending tons of money and losing our men and woman for a country that is surrounded by other countries that would never let them succeed. Further, there are enemies within the country itself and history has shown that they did not get along then, and they won't get along now. We should work on defense of our own country rather then arming countries that will eventually use our own arms against us. There are many Saddam's out there just waiting until we leave. Admit that it was not a good move to go there and move on.
