Politics & Government - 26 December 2006

Iraq's highest appeals court, on Tuesday upheld the execution order of Saddam Hussein. The country's former leader is set to hang and the court ordered the sentence to be carried out within the next 30 days. U.N. human rights experts have called on Iraq's government not to carry out the death sentence, saying Saddam's trial was seriously flawed.

Does anyone here have thoughts on gun control?

Can someone tell me why my neighbor loves to shoot off a gun? He points it toward the night sky and pulls the trigger multiple times, as though bullets never have to return to earth....and can't hurt someone...I think there needs to be a IQ test for gun ownership....if you rank at village idiot or moron, they give you a squirt gun instead!!! Several neighbors have called the police on the jerk but they can't be everywhere....and he does this once or twice a week...any advice?

Abortion vs Men's Rights What do you think ?

By law a woman can choose to abort or have a child. With no input from the father of said child. By law, the man must pay for said child if delivered (child support). Why can a man NOT be asked if he wants to keep a child subject to abortion, before allowing the abortion to proceed. Where are the mans rights when it comes to parenting??

My employer won't pay me what they owe me!! What can I do?

I am a student but I do freelance translating on the side. I worked on this book for a long time (about 8 months) and when it was over, they paid me but still owe me $300. I could really use this money! Plus they OWE me! I keep asking for it and threatening things but I don't know what I can legally do. Is contacting the publisher of the book a good idea? What would I say? Thanks so much!

Jobs Americans won't do?

Several of us have posted links showing that now that Swift has raised wages they are getting a different mix of workers. Someone just posted saying a job where illegals were taken from work is not yet at full staffing when the employer has raised wages forty cents.

My thought is wages may need to be raised more than 40 cents. Farmworkers under Chavez made non-poverty level wages, which in today's dollars would require a pay increase of 40 PER CENT, not forty cents.

Meat packing, as this article shows, used to make 30 PER CENT more money, and according to this article, people waited in line to get those jobs.

What do you think?

Is it the pay, or disinclination of Americans to take these jobs?
