I am just curious to know if applicant's nationality is covered in the "Equal Opportunity Employment Act"?. Foreigners in particular who wish to work in the USA are included in this law?

help other countries first? Here in the United States, we also have poverty, which leads to homeless and starvation for citizens right here at home. So why arent we busting a@@ to help them first?

Sure seems that way.

Clinton said that Kyoto would hurt America and Americans. Bush says the same thing. Oh well, if Clinton says it, we ignore it. If Bush says it, we bash him. We Dems are wackos.

I HAVE said that I think Bush Jr. is a moron and more or less that is how I feel. But how about this, just Bush Jr. Bush Sr. (I didn´t like him, imagine your surprise) but he was a brilliant politician, public speaker, and he had what some people might say, a LOT more gumption. Regardless of being from Texas, he was a great Public Speaker. And also, Jeb, (I don´t like him either, what consternation!!!) who I think has more intelligence then two stomped on peanuts and he speaks Spanish perfectly. But Dubya, you probably can imagine how I feel.
Am I against republicans because I think just one of the Bushes should have chose a different proffession?
Maybe a circus worker (carnie), a prison snitch (a stoolie), or just a normal alcoholic idiot that got lucky with the draft, or all of the above.

I think that people should be free of all types of harassment in the workplace. I think that this includes sexual, religious, ethnic and so forth.

The ACLJ and the Liberty Counsel tell us that we are free to share our religion in the workplace with our co-workers. This would include in the breakroom, lunch break... pretty much anywhere that co-workers are allowed to talk about anything they want.

My point is is this not a two way street? Once someone begins telling me about their religion, do I not have the right to say "That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!"

Case in point, this Mormon is going on about his religion. So I ask him about Joseph Smith and the golden tablets. Then I ask him about his holy undergarments. He got spittin mad!

Keep in mind that this guy has been spreading his beliefs for at least two weeks. Now, because I brought up the holy underwear, he has threatened to file a harassment complaint. Where does his rights end and mine begin?

We did a survey at a local community college and I was surprised to see how many students were in favor of a "civilian-enforced" checkpoint. When asked, would you and several people in your community enforce checkpoints if needed in a given situation, 85% responded yes. In other words regular armed civilians would set up a checkpoint at the entrance of town, say there was a serial killer or an escaped convict on the loose...Just until the cops caught him, then everything would return back to normal...Do you think this would help catch more criminals?

Why;
Haven't they overturned Roe v Wade
Haven't they put prayer back in public schools
Haven't they rolled back gun control laws
Haven't American Christians realized that they have been lied to by the right wing?

I have jury duty on Thursday...and today I got an e-mail from my Chemistry teacher telling me that on Thursday we have a test. I can't go to jury duty because if I do i'll miss the exam and I need to pass this class in order to transfer this Fall. I was talking to my sister about it and she said she could go as me to jury duty. She is not in school right now and she is willing to spend the whole day in court for me. Do you think they'll know is not me?

Those of you who have been there know the truth. You put your lives on the line to teach them so many things. And guard them while you are doing it.

Has anybody ever heard of this law and know the meaning

I got tired from what the president Bush drags us into.

It is very well known that president Bush has committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations.

I really need to know whether we can do something to stop wars. Please stand by me to make our government, and the world more peaceful. Tell me what steps we can do in this miserable situations. What are your suggestions?

It was after the first Gulf War that Cheney was asked why US forces had not gone all the way to Baghdad and removed Saddam Hussein. "For us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire," he said. We could not and would not win it was reported Cheney said.

This response has haunted him ever since but the war supportes and Bush supporters refuse to acknowledge that Cheney said that statement.

Cheney who was its main war supporter in Iraq, famously claiming there was an established connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda, ( There wasn't any ) and arguing US forces would be treated as liberators. He labelled those who opposed the war appeasers. Even now, when the US President, George Bush, no longer talks about victory in Iraq, Cheney remains a true believer.

Why? I'm curious to know... Oh and any half assed justifications you give will serve only as entertainment.
There's no way out of it, you made one hell of a mistake! And for those of you who didn't vote and could've, this is your fault too! I guess this isn't much of a question...
