At my company they want "College" in your back ground. They don't want or care about "Military" at all. We have two supervisors who went to Canada back in 1968 and 1969 and they were hired and make big money. So military back ground means very little. The few military men we have are misfits who talk about killing people all the time. All of us stay away from them.

it has been assigned to me to research affirmative action so i can debate for its abolishment. i thought i knew what affirmative action was until i read of a personal account of affirmative action in my research:

"I stand before you as the proud product of affirmative action...I specifically do not mean that I have ever had a job or educationional opportunity I was unqualified for. I specifically do not mean that I benefited, ever, from quotas, or that I ever took a job away from a white man."

-- We Won't Go Back. Charles R. Lawrence III

If the woman who wrote this was not less qualified, and did not take a job from a white man, what did affirmative action do for her that she could not have obtained without it?

It seems to me that the most divisive, spiteful, hurtful, supposed questions, receive the most answers. Posters from both sides of every important argument go out of their way to insult their fantasy opponent. Their questions only serve to polarize. Why should we continue to indulge the hate mongers, the polarizers, from both sides?

For woes associated with illegal immigration???..

What illegal immigrnts are doing is no good - came here took the jobs .
But I think it was liberals who emboldened them to demand and get what they are not entitled to.

Would there be no liberals, no whining lefties, Uneducated immigrants would come on some sort Guest worker program. They would have limited abilities to protest/demand, so they would be doing thei work, and then either send their money back or whatever. They would be defended by some laws, so that employer cannot abuse them, and being more legal they would violate less laws, in order not to jeopardize terir opportunity to make some money. Plus kicking out illegal criminals would be easier.

The very idea, that they can get more, can get citizenship, can get freehealthcare/education, implanted by liberals causes all the (Well 95%) of problems.

In 2006 he placed loyalty to himself above the Democratic party and his actions cost their Candidate his chance. Winning as an independent with the help of the Fox hate network (Hannity and Coulter) and financial backing from International corporate lobbyists, the neo-cons and the Republican party.

This is politically consist as the first time he won a seat in congress was with money and backing from William F. Buckley and right-wing Cuban exiles.

One wonders why by his congressial voting record does he call himself a Democrat ... as he fawns and drools all over those insane all ready drank the Kool-aid neo-cons currently in the white house.

A true turncoat joe actively supports bush's regressive energy bill, tax plans, and judicial nominations and all attacks on our Bill of Rights.

His active support of torture, domestic spying, the subversion of Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus reveals that he is not in any way faithful to the Constitution of the United States.

My daughter was arrested at age 17 for a minor theft charge. She completed her probation, the case was dismissed, and expunction was granted. It was my understanding that her arrest and everything related to it would be deleted from her record. However, when she applied to rent an apartment and a background check was run, the arrest appeared. She is now trying to apply for a job and they will be running a background check on her.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get this corrected? I don't know which agency is still reporting the incident. I do not want to back to the original attorney. He charged $5,000 for this small shoplifting incident and I shudder to think what he would charge to get this straightened out.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the order of expunction was signed by the judge in May 2006 and the apartment was applied for in late October 2006. Everything occurred in Texas.

Thanks for your help!

I am currently attending a certain university in Pennsylvania. The university does not have many parking areas. I had a friend come to the university, and park outside my residence hall. I then looked on the university website for the regulations regarding visitor parking, and posted online (as part of a campus map) was a parking permit. So, I printed it out and hung it in the windshield of my friend's van. However, we soon received a phone call from the police saying that they were at the van and because it is a "fake" permit, we were being charged with Theft of Services, a criminal charge. My question is, I did not technically forge any permits, and honestly thought the permit printed out would be enough to let us park there for an hour or two (at which point we were going to move it), so can I be charged with Theft of Services instead of just a simple parking ticket?

Before you dismiss this as a crackpot idea, think of the benefits:
*Our military has problems filling their ranks
*We need the ranks to be filled to fight the terrorists
*There is a lot of homeless people
*They currently don't contribute to society
*They would probably benefit from a military "education"
*If push comes to shove, we can afford to lose them

Think about it. It's a modest proposal.
