Politics & Government - 25 January 2007

i recently posted a question about how other mothers would feel if they were to put there 2 year old in a child care center with ratios like these. There are no centers except 1 that do infants so i will leave out the infant ratio this center is the exception but thereis a year long waiting list and unless you sihn up your child before birth they won't get in not to mention it is over 150.00 a week at this peticular center here are the ratios
1 year olds 10 children to 1 care provider
2 year olds 12 children to 1 care provider
3 year olds 14 children to 1 care provider
4 year olds 16 children to 1 care provider
do you all get the picture most of these centers cost between 98 to 125 a week and many of them have had serious problems at one center a who was 8 months old pulled a crock pot down and recieved serious borns and brain damage one center locked a child on a bus for four hours and tried to cover it up many centers hire with out background checks where do i start to fix this

My boss, at the company I work for, is trying to get rid of me.
It started when he told me to fire someone, but I said "No. We don't have enough evidence!"
Later, we gathered all the evidence, and fire the guy, but I could feel that my boss didn't like the fact that I said no to him.

So he started digging. He dug up some, and made up the rest (about 90% of that), and gave me a warning.

I only have one more warning before I get terminated. I know he is waiting for me to slip up to give me my final warning.

I talked to a lawyer, but he told me to suck it up and move on with my life, but I am wondering maybe some of you know what else I can do? I mean, they can't just treat you like sh*t simply because they are your boss, can they?

Is there anything I can do regarding my current warning? I mean, I can prove that it is a fake, that almost every single statement there is false.

Eventually the oil/gas will run out. The people are very kind and warm hearted, so it is not as though we need fossil fuels immediately.

It seems that everywhere there are polls that show that the support for the Iraq war is way down and everyone believes that we should bring our troops home. Also articles that bash Bush for this mess.
Are all of these really necessary?? I have to wonder why Bush is now in the middle of his SECOND term, if everybody hates him so much... And I also have to wonder, with the expanded media coverage these days, how hearing that a majority of Americans no longer support the war affects our troops that are fighting for us over there..
I can't say that I approve of every choice Bush has made, but he was elected a 2nd time and after 9/11 it seemed that most of America backed his decision to go. Now everyone wants a pull-out?? Anyone ever stop to think that pulling out of there now, may create more problems than it corrects??
I think we need to be showing our support to our troops and correct our Bush mistake by our votes in the next election. Stop making our troops think we don't care.

This was one of the questions asked by one of the many channels showing this filth.

Q: What would you find in a womans handbag

Here are two of the answers

A balaclava
Wall plugs.

Why has it taken the government so long to take action against these filthy, dishonest, baffling, decieving gameshows. Personally I think the presenters need to be shot.

Part of the Bush Administration's solution to the energy crisis is converting more coal to diesel fuel and opening up of some current 'off limits' places to drill for oil.

Now I'm kinda thinking, "Hum... that's really smart... use up ALL the planet's fuel then sure that will work because we won't have any choice but to find new energy means."

Is this really the best solution?
