I live in Kitchener-Ontario-Canada, and I have been employed at a convinience store. I was accused of stealing money via the lotto machines and when I attempted to ask my boss for proof he threathened me with police. I cant let this go on my record (I might not get a job after if I do) and do not wish to involve police, but still wish to have some of my dignity back. how do I deal with this?
I want to prove to him and my neighbhors I'm not a thief, but I'm eighteen and on my own and if i ruin my record now, i will not be able to get a job and make my payments. However if I do not solve this the other tenants will vote to have me thrown out.

Please help, urgent.

Note: If I have to I will involve the police, I did nothing wrong.
Contact me using my email.

how come you can't see right through her!? she'll say just about anything to get votes, she doesn't give a damn about who she has to step on to get to the oval office, and she's a liar!

recently when the bridge in minneapolis collapsed, hillary seized that unfortunate event as a new way to get votes. she said things like "our roads and bridges are dangerous and are hurting the economy. im going to fix them if you vote for me" its rubbish, she would have never said that if the bridge hadn't collapsed because she only cares about power.

just a few sites..

I know we can't enact laws there, but there must be something that we can do to facilitate a better flow of information to the middle east. Those people are being brainwashed by their government controlled media (please stop trying to do that here Hillary). Can't we do something similar to Radio Free Europe?

"In 1992, The New York Times said NAFTA promised "jobs, wealth and economic activity throughout the continent." Over 15 years later, we clearly live in that shining new era of free trade:
Canadian economist Bruce Campbell details a net loss of 276,000 jobs under free trade, beginning with the U.S.-Canada deal in 1989.

U.S. economist Robert Scott reports NAFTA has eliminated some 766,000 manufacturing jobs.

Mexican peasants have called NAFTA their "death warrant." The 1995 peso crisis devastated Mexico's economy, doubling the number of unemployed, dropping real wages 27 per cent in just two years.

Low-priced imports of U.S. corn and other agricultural products forced some two million Mexican farmers off the land. These are the families who cross the border and worsen the U.S. "immigration problem."

Every single study exposes the liberal media bias, yet libs keep denying it and claim FOX is one that's unbalanced. What percentage says this because they are stupid, what percentage says this because they are dishonest, and what percentage says this because they are parroting what they heard on the Daily Show?

I am hearing political and news comentary similar to the pre-invasion rhetoric which preceded the invasion of Iraq. It appears some of our top officials are intent in establishing a case for the invasion of Iran. It appears our only interest in these countries is their oil resourse. Is the USA justified if our only interest is oil, and oh yea, democracy?

They are so busy blaming Bush but they never mention that their Democratic leaders were just as clueless and foolish in voting for this never-ending war.

When will you make them answer for that, liberals? Real Conservatives are denouncing Bush in droves. Liberals of all spectrums still support their incompetent leaders in Congress.

As a basis for war, the Bush Administration accuses Iraq of trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, nuclear), supporting terrorism, and brutalizing their own people. Since Iraq is not the only country engaged in these actions, under what circumstances should the US go to war with other such nations, in addition to going to war with Iraq?

Our government seems more and more concerned with capitalism and less and less concerned with democracy.

Have we completely betrayed the founding fathers hopes for this country? America was formed when it was a slave-holding country, so hypocrisy regarding democracy is nothing new.

However, by not impeaching Bush and Cheney, we are allowing them to forever change the nature of the presidency; instead of being beholden to congress, the executive branch is in danger of being transformed into a dictatorship beholden to no one.

In America, money rules; the people no longer seem to.

And most disturbingly there is no public outcry, no anti-war marches of any significant number. We are sliding into totalitarianism because...almost no one in America cares.

So what if America now ranks #36 in life expectancy? As long as the rich have access to health care, the fate of the common man is of little concern to anyone, INCLUDING the common man himself/herself.

Yes we did and you DID NOT save us, all you did was give us 7 pilots(one died). If Britain had fallen in the Battle of Britain, Hitler would've then set his sights on America or America would've joined the Nazis. Why? Because do you think that the American armed forces would've been able to hold off the Japanese AND the Nazis in Europe, Not possible. It would've been constant bombings from Japan and then probably a land assault by the Nazis, America would've fallen too. You lot owe us one, big time.

This is especially for Belle, who actually posted this link in a response, but what kind of person could hate their own country so much as to build a web site like this? How could you hate your country so much that you would advertise the worst things that happen in war, and then blame it all on the people that are there to protect you? Isn't propoganda what the bad guys use to demoralize our troops? How do you libs sleep at night?

You know, I've been hearing neo-cons scream for the last decade on what Clinton did in the White House... an act mind you that was a Republican set-up from the very start and an act that was committed privately and then made public by conservative adversaries. But it's perfectly acceptable for President Bush to refer to his Chief of Staff publically as "turd blossom."

Do people not realize how much of a redneck, ill-advised, illiterate moron he looks and sounds like? What kind of face has this put on our nation? Our leader is a good-ol'-boy Texan who speaks in broken and improper English, stutters like a nervous 12 year old, mispronounces and makes up words and refers to top political leaders as "turd blossom." Nice!

I'm so sick of hearing Clinton being bashed. Clinton did nothing illegal and nothing over half of the married men in this nation haven't done. Bush is just a barefoot bo-hunk who someone dressed in a suit... not unlike those monkeys on TV commercials.

Just want your thoughts.

I myself believe to be an important condition, either to speak it or at the very least setting up mandatory English classes for immigrants/Asylum Seekers if they cannot all ready speak the national language.

What do you think?
