Hi,sorry to talk abt a shameful thing I did ,but I really want to share it with someone yet I cant risk the friends around me finding out . So I had no choice but to say it here . I am a guy ; I’m 25 yrs old , I live in Singapore.I started work in the Family Court recommended by a job agency,but it was a very stressful job.I wasnt able to take the work pressure as I do not know the court procedures,often made mistakes,my buddy pushed a lot of his work to me. The colleagues were slipshod in training me and I went to my supervisor for help . She told me I wasn’t trained in the proper way and she would train me under my wing . That never happened . I was transferred from the mentions court to a hearing court for 2 weeks to be under another mentor . However , I still couldn’t take it and had tendered my resignation only 3 weeks into the job . But they required me to serve a one month’s notice and I had to compensate the job agency 1/3 of my monthly salary as stated in the contract .

Incorporated in Delaware, established in Houston, Texas in 1919, Halliburton recently announced that they plan to move their corporate headquarters to Dubai. Under normal circumstances, no one who supports capitalism would object to or question this move. After all, within the limits of the law, a corporation has the right to make decisions that will benefit them and ensure their continued success. Considering the controversy associated with Halliburton’s shoddy performance in Iraq—the no-bid contracts, their ties to Cheney, contaminated drinking water, rancid food, gross over-billing, missing money—doesn’t this seem conspicuously convenient and timely? Just as Congress is building a head of steam to investigate Halliburton’s questionable activities, they jump ship. Isn’t this a little too much of a coincidence?

All of we know the USA is causing the ecological, economical and war problems of ALL of the world.
Why should all of us still believe in the alway false "American Dream", why we don't just ignore USA and put our eyes on other countries?

Hillary has decided to be more "nuanced" when it comes to what she would do with Iraq as President. While her party is attempting to pass legislation to micro-manage the war, Hillary would instead rely on the advice of the military commanders. Huh? And it gets better. The urban war is a "loser." However, she would obviously have plenty of troops in Iraq to protect our “remaining vital national security interests in Iraq”.

Okay, so we would what? Guard oil wells and chase al Qaeda while all of Iraq burned down around us? And isn't the urban warfare she describes as a "loser" the very thing which would come to define Iraq as the failed state she claims we can't have? What a freaking moron this woman is.

Sure, we killed off the evil dictator, but that evil dictator did not have 50-500 people killed on a daily basis by bombs! (People were too frightened of him to do something like that!) Now we have left these people with no real strong-arm to control them and their civil war is taking a toll on OUR troops as well. Way to go, Big Bush----NOT!

N0. 1
A couple of thugs, who beat and kicked a young man into a permanent vegetable state, have had there original sentence of nine years reduced upon appeal. The judge said - their sentences were excessive.

No.2.
A judge has stated that employers not only have to protect their employees from sexual harrasment from other staff, but also from members of the public.
The only way an employer can possibly do that is to close his business, bar none-staff from his premises, and keep external workers in.

I have a pet theory that those silly horse hair wigs the judges wear must prevent air from reaching the brain and so stifles common sense.

Where do they find these idjuts?

I'm pro-choice, in the sense that it should be every individuals choice, I personally am against abortion

I think that abstinance should be PREACHED in schools, as well as alternate forms of birth control, which SHOULD be government funded, because if you don't have insurance, it isn't cheap, although still cheaper then a child

I'm pro-war

I'm against longterm welfare

I think illegal immigration laws should be enforced more and do not think they should increase the number of immigrants allowed into the United States

I don't agree with government funded healthcare (except for what I stated above)

I'm not entirely sold on Global Warming, but don't think we should celebrate the fact it might not be true by purchasing suvs

I entirely agree with capital punishment

I enjoy tax cuts and don't think they should be raised in any way

I'm a firm believer in tradition and although I'm not religious at all, I believe the pledge of alligence should be said in class

The US has used some controversial techniques in the treatment of prisoners of the War on Terror. For example: holding prisoners for years without trials, using secret facilities to hold and interrogate prisoners, and water boarding.

Do you think that these instances blurs the line between the US and the enemy we are fighting? Do you think it makes us a little bit like the terrorists? Let me know your opinions.

This is somewhat a silly question, but I don't have the answer for it. I am over the age of 17 and am capable of getting into R movies. I wanted to go see 300 in theaters. It sounds awesome. Now would I be allowed to bring my little brother who is 10 years old to the movies with me? Would I be considered his guardian? Also, what law allows/denies me to do this?

...what do you now believe about terrorists? There were plans to kill Democrats as well as Republicans, right - and left-wingers, anyone from the USA. Does that even begin to prove to any of you that our policies in the world are causing others to hate us? And that meddling in the ME is NOT a good idea???
