I am always amazed at the reactions of many conservatives, particularly conservative Republicans, to the issue of global warming.
Not only do they dismiss the idea but some of them get angry. I have seen them get so worked up about it. I have seen them literally yelling as they angrily denounce it.
Why such a strong reaction?

If it wasn't for us you would have no taxis and no take aways.
We have brought our culture to you and you have not accepted it.
We invented the steam engine, the aeroplane and many other things.
What has the western world ever done? When we found you you were backward but we brought you forward and have received no thanks for it.

The democrats are not much better running from the truth about the war on Iraq. Will you vote for Hillary?
I prefer Mitt Romney over her.

So I recieved a job offer via email. This is what they're asking me to do. . .

We have a problem that is setting us back. We have some problem collecting our payments from our USA/Canada clients. The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in USA is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%. There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private individual is 7% . This is why we need you as our agent to receive payment for our Clients (in Money Orders, Checks or Bank Wire Transfers) from our clients in the USA/Canada and to resend the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer. This way we save money.

Is this even legal?

I started work 6 weeks ago on a 6 month fixed term contract with a view to extending at the end of that 6 months.

I received a letter from employer today saying I have now satisfied all their conditions in my contract of employment and my offer of employment is unconditional.

Does this mean they have changed my contract to permanent?

What if I dont want to become permanent or if I want to renegotiate salary before going permanent?

Any advice would be welcome thanks

Sure seems so. Why won't democrats stand against this multi million dollar organization when they disagree with them?

Or do all liberals agree with moveon.org.

When do other countries get to defend their land, when Bush attacks them? When is a simple person, like a farmer or student, who was attacked and occupied in the name of PAX America fights back and then be called an insurgent or a terrorist? I dont know about the Rep/Cons, but if my country was attacked and occupied ,I would fight back with everything I had. IED's, sniper, anything. And I would hope that my other border alies would come to help to destroy the occupiers,PERIOD!

It seems to me that when ever the Europeans needs us the USA is their favorite people but once the danger passes then we are the scum of the earth. Maybe we should have just let Hitler have their way with them. The created the problem maybe we should have let them solve it.

The War on Poverty was introduced by President Lyndon B. Johnson during his State of the Union address on January 8, 1964. After spending countless billions on social programs to help the poor and we are no closer to winning this war than when we started.

The war on drugs was started in its broadest sense, in 1880, when the U.S. and China completed an agreement (see Opium wars) that prohibited the shipment of opium between the two countries. Over the past 126 years, we have spent billions of dollars and have not won this war.

The War on Terrorism was started at the 1972 Olympics by the PLO and the terrorist have been attacking us for over 35 years now. Until 9/11/2001 we did not respond. Why do the dems think that after 6 years of effort, we are going to be able to erraticate a problem that has been going for at least 41 years.
