Thanks for taking the time to read this,Im in a sticky situation and need some advice.I work in IL.I have worked for fast food for 5 years.I have been a mgr. for almost 3.A few months ago I was at work and another manager assaulted me, with an open hand to the face "slap".I did nothing to provoke this.I was so shocked I just walked away.This had ever happened to me before.The next 2 days I went on like nothing happened, until finally it bothered me so much I told my store mgr what happened.The next day my store supervisor called me into the back office, in the office were my owner, supervisor, store mgr, and the other mgr who assaulted me. The mgr admitted to them that she slapped me, after denying it.Then they kept asking "Was it playful?" I said no it hurt there was no bruise or anything, and no witnesses and the video footage was to shaky to tell, but she admitted to slapping me.She continues to harass me so i quit1 day notice, now they wont give me my check, or my 2weeks vac pay?

A certain ethnic group to lose power in society & have your ethnic group gain power?There are Hispanic groups LaRaza that want massive illegal immigration from Mexico & Central America so there will be more latinos in the U.S.They want whites to become a minority so they can get more power.Doesn't that sound like a RACIST plan to you?

After all, the high ratings really just indicate that people like what they see and hear on FOX, regardless of the veracity (or lack thereof) of the reporting. In fact, early on during the war in Iraq, the University of Maryland conducted a study whose results showed that people who relied on FOX for their coverage of the war tended to be more misinformed than those who relied on other news sources (CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, etc.).

Tom, a teenager, is mucking around with some friends at the Rocky Municipal Pool. The boys are running around, shouting and throwing tennis balls at each other. The pool's supervisor is busy chatting to some girls at the other end of the pool. Large signs displayed around the pool proclaim “NO RUNNING OR DIVING. Pool edges slippery when wet.” Suddenly, Tom slips on the tiles surrounding the pool, twists his ankle, and falls into the pool, hitting his head on the edge and suffering serious injuries. Tom sues the pool owner (the Council) in negligence. Evidence shows that the tiles used next to the pool are particularly slippery when wet, and that other types of tiles or waterproof carpet (at considerably more expense) would prevent the edge being slippery. Discuss the Council's liability, ignoring any defences it may have.

The council breached its duty of care in that it was negligent through failing to adequately supervise its visitors. Would that sufficiently constitute liability?

I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level
governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart
American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not
entitle you to anything.
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they
want to.
My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry
Springer.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about
it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, and neither have you! So, shut
up already.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you
came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA .
I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson
preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem
and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you're running
from them..
I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the
law, regardless of what color you are.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think
it's good..... and I'm proud that "God" is written on my money.
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you
deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the
next four years.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff
or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause.
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two
parents.
And what is going on with gas prices... again?
I believe "illegal" is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.
We want our country back!

my above neighbor refuses to put down carpets to absorb the noise coming from his apartment. It so bad that my apt. trembles everytime he and his family walk around or play their stereo. I tried to resolve it by talking to them, but they chose to ignore me. Moving in New York City is really pricey and my place was a deal when I moved in six years ago. I can't afford to move right now. I've contacted the management company over and over and they also chose to look the other way. They claim that if I don't live in a condo or co-op building that they can't really do much but sent a nuisance letter to the tenant. The rent lease clearly states if a tenant is constant nuisance they could be asked to leave. But no one at the management co. seems to care about that or my problem.

. Lord Falconer is planning to ease overcrowding by releasing 2,000 prisoners early Yet it was only six weeks ago that the government said they wouldn't have to resort to these measures. Is this the right way to deal with the crisis? Who is to blame for the current overcrowding? Is it cost effective to the taxpayer or endangering the public?

Besides the morons who say Bush is the worst President in history just because they are poor and get taxed more doesn't mean Bush is the worst President ever. Statistically and factually, Jimmy Carter was the worst. His pathetic leadership during the Iran Hostage Crisis led to the rise of Islamofascism and since Carter was too cowardly to finish the Iranians off 28 years ago, we have to deal with those idiots building a nuke now and we have to deal with their buddy bin Laden, who Carter gladly gave weapons and money to. If Carter was not our President, Iran would be a parking lot and Osama would have been defeated 26 years ago and the Middle East would be mostly democracy and it would be wealthy.
