Politics & Government - 22 February 2007

Recently, at work, we had a very important employee give his two weeks notice. His importance is magnified by the fact that nearly everybody else at the company has quit, with him being the only one with over a year of experience. (He has over a decade here.)

The employer said that because his name was on the proposals when customers signed contracts with us, they could be sued by customers, and in turn would sue him for not staying. As a result, the job he was going to take rescinded their offer, despite the fact that the pay was better, the hours were less (he's often here till midnight), and he'd be treated much, much better.

As you might guess, I'm desperate to get out of here, but this development concerns me, because I'm probably the second most important person here behind him. I've got my name on all sorts of contracts! What do I do?!

Why is the US going to such trouble to place a defensive barrier all around Iran? Why do the Russians continue to supply Iran and take such a hard line against NATO expansion? Also, how much damage could Iran do with an all out first strike and would Syria and Russia support them?

Otherwise Jews couldnt play the victims all the time, and maybe this whole dirty war with Palestine and now Lebanon could be dealt with accordingly.

"Airports scrupulously apply the same laughably ineffective airport harassment to Suzy Chapstick as to Muslim hijackers. It is preposterous to assume every passenger is a potential crazed homicidal maniac. We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."

My grandfather passed away in 1989 and always told me he was leaving me something. My grandmother told me after his death that he did not leave a will. Just a couple of months ago the will was found. No family member is talking to me so they won't tell me what the will says. How do I search for and prove that my name is on the will. My grandfather and I were very, very close and he never told me lies. I do not know where to turn. I have asked those family members not talking to me what the will said and they won't say!

This woman is upset that her black son was shot by cops. What she didn't mention was that her son had a gun, and shot at the officers before being shot back.

So, if a black person is shooting at you, you shouldn't shoot back, because that would be racist?

Republicans are afraid of putting their support for the surge on record. The non-binding resolution forced them to go on record. Will those that support the Bush plan pay a political price in 08?

I've noticed time and again how many people are using Barak Obama's name agianst him. He is a human being, and a person...NOT a name.

So then, how much does the race or ethnicity/background of a politican really matter? As long as they do the job they are supposed to do and treat everyone else with respect, who cares what a name is! Those who keep on commenting are making themselves and the American people look like uneducated rednecks...and that's not an image I want of people I know are better than that!

I'm sure that it says something good about our charactor when we name streets after a leaders. But what does it say when we remove the name of a WWI Medal of Honor hero and replace it with a civil rights leader?

Bush likes Jews/israel and he likes blacks (powell, rice) and hispanics (he has latinos in his family). he also says he wants a better life for muslims living in oppressive nations and wants to win their hearts over


so are most republican voters also like this ...or are there alot of republicans who hate all non-whites/non-Christians and only vote for bush to prevent kerry or gore from taking over the country?

I cant exactly remember the statistics for the national bankrupcy list because people cant afford health care and they dont qualify for Medicaid, but i believe that about 17% of the population dont have enough money to afford health care and they dont qualify for medicaid as well. If anybody has a real opinion on this then please answer.
