Allow physically mobbed kids w. video evidence to assault harrassers from behind with light metal stick. Legal immunity is provided as long as it is only one blow. Publicize this widely. This prevents the accumulation of hostility which finally erupts in a shooting, and will act as strong deterrent to mobbing.

I am a senior lecturer at a major US university, and I hold a European Union passport. I have a 3-year (renewable) contract and my department and the Dean's office are willing to sponsor me for permanent residence. However, the university OISS claims that only tenure-eligible faculty members can be sponsored for permanent residence, and that in the last couple of years applications for non tenure-eligible candidates have been consistently turned down. They are saying that this has to do with US immigration regulations, not with university policies. Is this true? If yes, are there any other viable options (apart from looking for a tenure-eligible position somewhere else?) Some universities seem to sponsor non tenure-track senior lecturers (e.g. Penn/Northwestern/Drexel), but my OISS keeps telling me that the information that I have found is outdated. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I recently filled out a job application for a government secretarial position. I checked the box that said that I DO NOT have a driver's license. They called me for an interview, and I was offered the job the next day. Well, today I got a phone call from a personnel worker stating that it came back on my background that I do not have a driver's license. I told him that yes I was aware of it, and it was due to epilepsy. I even filled out a separate form that I mailed with my ap, and I circled that I have a disability. My question is, can they now withdraw the job offer because they found out I do not possess a license? I was honest and I checked the proper box, but maybe they did not notice it prior to the interview. What do you all think? Would that be discrimination if the job offer is withdrawn??? What about reasonable accommodation? Thanks!

By the way, the seizures are controlled and I haven't had one in about a year, I just do not feel comfortable possessing a license right now!

It's pretty well known that the world's oil supply is depleting. Why are we spending time invading Iraq and planning to invade other countries to get oil when we could be spending time finding another solution? (don't tell me we aren't there for the oil at all, I won't have it!)

Sure there is enough for our lifetime, but is the struggle really worth it? There are other options, many vehicles use them everyday. So why aren't we spending our $$, time and resources on making our own solution, instead of expecting the rest of the world to give us what's theirs or destroying the arctic refuge?

i feel that smoking should not be made illegal, because it should be the restaurant owner's decision. If you do not want to go there, don't. If Smokers don't want to go to a non-smoking restaurant, then they have the right to do so. if a non-smoker wants to go to a non-smoking establishment they also have the right to do so. bet they can also go to the smoking establishments. that's really all that some people do is they go out to have a drink and a smoke. Restaurants and other establishment's will lose money due to the loss of smoking. tell me what do you think? If all you can do is spew hate at me please go answer someone else's questions.

America voted (the ultimate poll ) Republicans lost badly

Bush's ratings are very low -

The Republicans ratings are not high - Come election time it is reported that the Democrats have more than a fair chance at winning

So - why is it that there are so many fire brething neo conservative's that deny global warming that support war etc

On this site ?

Does that mean that each individual terrorist/militant in the middle east is a weapon of mass destruction?

That would mean there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
