My friend and I worked in the same company, but different departments (telemarketing). I was in debt collections and was a high producer. She was in customer service and had a bad rep. They rehired her, but not me. My dad died and I was in a car wreck so I quit, she quit because she didn't like it. She was rehired because she "said" she was living on the streets.

Fair, unfair, illegal or legal?

Brought here by my parents at the age of 8 on a tourist visa. Was told that we are going on a vacation to Florida(Disneyland etc.). once there, I learned the truth that we are staying here. I grew up in this country, and I barely remember my country(Poland). I know perfect english, have a 4.0 GPA and stay out of trouble. I would not leave this country for any money in the world, as I love it and apreciate it. My parents are to blame I know, but they told me that we would have no opportunities in Poland because there are no jobs left and the economy is horrible. We would either come here like this or be homeless. This was the last option and they took it. Of course once here, they started paying taxes in the first month, bought health insurance etc. It is only getting worse in my country, despite what the media tells you, despite what you may have heard. My parents had no other choice. I understand that you may think that they are criminals, but am I as well?

Why is it that conservatives think that the market should drive the availability of media when we are taking about talk radio and the fairness doctrine, but think that the market is inadequate when it comes to the content if entertainment and want greater regulation?

I was recently arrested and posted bail to get out, then went to arraignment and was assigned a pre-trial hearing date. I wanted to know what restrictions on travel there are and if I would be permitted to make a day trip to Canada. Any sources would be helpful too.

They are currently refusing to release documents that have been subpoenaed in connection with the US Attorneys scandal (the one where they fired them for political reasons but said they fired them for performance reasons). When the Patriot Act was passed, and people expressed concerns about the government lsitening to their calls and reading their mail and e-mails; weren't Republicans the ones saying "If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be worried?"

she claims that because she brings someone with her and completes her work in less time, she should still be paid for the 8 hours as two people did it. If she works more than 20 hours a week she claims overtime using the two person excuse. She is the only hired employee

I found out that my friend (a minor) got molested, and want to know a way I can contact a legal law firm through e-mail, in Maryland, who does not charge...(the victim does not want anyone to know his/her name, but wants to seek legal advice from the state of Maryland, through e-mail or online contact).
All help will be very much appreciated!

Are cops trained to draw their weapon at a certain speed? I know I could outdraw a cop and win. I was wondering what type of training they go through in regards to using firearms and how to be the most effective.

Isnt this important for them to be good at? Seeing as most cops are out of shape and only rely on numbers of officers instead of skill, it seems to be easier and easier to outgun a cop.

1. Hell-bound heathens—for trying to ban God and for provoking his wrath
2. The liberal media—for outsourcing their foreign news coverage to Al Jazeera
3. Tax-and-spend socialists—for requiring every taxpayer to personally adopt a welfare queen
4. Activist judges—for redefining marriage as being between any person, place, or thing
5. Big government liberals—for trying to regulate everyone to death

This report is a load of ****. I was in Iraq last year (June) for 6 months and the base I was at (there are over 100 American bases in Iraq) had a death toll of 2-3 soldiers a week! That equates over 90 deaths in one year at *one* base. This report is so full of it. I used to see the news crews led around by the officers and they got treated real nice at the chow halls. LOL!!! whatever, what a joke. **** Bush, and anyone for this war (esp. Christians).

As I see it, there are two major problems with using torture to attain information from suspected terrorists.

First, it is unreliable. I assure you, if you torture ME long enough, I will admit to flying a plane into the Pentagon or any other heinous act you want me to confess to...even if it was physically impossible for me to have commited the act.

Second, and more importantly, the main thing that makes America and it's people great is our high moral and ethical values....and when our goverment tortures people....even people out to kill us, we are no better than the terrorists we fight.
But still, I would like your opinion.
