He is the situation: last friday my boss called me in to let me know that they were going to have to let me go. I have been with the company (a small 15 person firm) for 1 year now. The reason he gave me was that the company had lost a lot of clients and they could not afford to keep me on. Last year I did make a a few mistakes that cost the company a good chunck of cash, however they did not fire me for that then. Since that incident I have not done anything egregious. Could those mistakes be grounds to deny me unemployment?

There is little doubt that there are too many cars on our roads and the situation must be addressed. Just allowing the number of cars on the road to increase unchecked is not a viable option. One suggestion that the government wishes to examine is to use a road pricing scheme to reduce the number of car journeys we make, or to encourage us to travel at quieter times. 1.7 million people have signed a petition objecting to even consideration of this matter (assuming they actually understood what they were signing for / against).

So, you 1.7 million - what do you think we can do to solve road congestion problems in UK?

I know some one that is being requested by the DMV to appear for a full medical......there seems to be some doubt about the honesty when he filled in the forms and applied for his CDL [b], basically he HAS epilipsey and was driving school buses etc etc, so it does not come as a shock to ANYONE but him, that he got reported.

What I would like to know is JUST what the DMV etc can do to him once they DO find out he has epilepsy? Would it be jail time, felony counts, what?

Thank you.

What can you do if refused an American passport because of lack of documentation (like an amended birth certificate) and cannot obtain substitute information (as shown in the passport requirements?) My age of 65 is the problem. My parents are deceased as well as others who may vouch for me -- no baptismal certificate as an infant -- no Family Bible (burned up), no elementary school records available, etc. The ONLY thing I have is an amended birth certificate with my name change.

I think they should be required to write tickets anytime they pull over another cop.

Our trailer park manager hasn't deposited our check into the park's account, yet. We gave her the check on 1/27/07, and almost a month later, she hasn't cashed it. I contacted the owner of the park and he said he would talk with the manager about it. How long can I wait until I can claim this month free? What do I even do in a situation like this?

By a 53 percent - 46 percent margin, respondents surveyed said that Democrats are going too far, too fast in pressing the President to withdraw troops from Iraq.
By identical 57 percent - 41 percent margins, voters agreed with these statements: I support finishing the job in Iraq, that is, keeping the troops there until the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security and the Iraqi war is a key part of the global war on terrorism.
Also, by a 56 percent - 43 percent margin, voters agreed that even if they have concerns about his war policies, Americans should stand behind the President in Iraq because we are at war.
While the survey shows voters believe (60 percent- 34 percent) that Iraq will never become a stable democracy, they still disagree that victory in Iraq (creating a young, but stable democracy and reducing the threat of terrorism at home) is no longer possible. Fifty-three percent say it's still possible, while 43 percent disagree.

I'm 16 and go to high school in England. I witnessed an assault on a friend a while ago and im due to appear in court soon. The guy who did it has found out the names of the witnesses and he's been asking questions round school trying to find out about me. If we got in a fight I'd stand a good chance of winning one on one but he's always got a gang of cronies with him. He's also the type who finds it fun to carry knifes and he has connections to 18-20 year olds through his brother, who have been known to hunt down anyone that wrongs him. I'm going to do the witness thing anyway but i want to know the best course of action regarding the guy.
If he personally comes up to me and threatens me should i just hit him right then and there and just accept the consequences or should i try and talk my way out of it. I can't afford to waste the time it takes to press charges if anything happens with GCSE's coming up and i don't want to jeopardise my value as a witness.

Whats the way?

Yes it may be a serious thing to have someone's freedom taken away but when your ex-husband physically abused you and still stalks you. Its just something you gotta do. So usually there is a circumstance of why someone wants to know how to get one

And worked together to slove the problems we are facing? Dont you think we waste too much time blasting the Clinton's or the Bush's on a personal level and not enough time actually having a political conversation. When did American politics become so immature?
