Ok here my problem, I am currently working on second shift, and there are no third shift, but since we are behind, they want to make a third shift, so my supervisor came and ask me If i wanted to work it. I told my supervisor No, supervisor say ok they will ask someone else if they wanted to do it. the next day supervisor come and tell me that I had to do it. so my question is can they make you do a shift you dont want to do.

If someone in your company secretly promoted an individual (including sending them to training) before they even posted the new position whilst not giving others the opportunity to apply for it, is it against the law?
I know it is with federal employment, but what about private companies?

Legalize Marijuana and tax the hell out of it.
This way all you conservatives won't have to shell out any money AND you get free health care.
No thanks necessary.

Here are a few of mine...

John Kerry: American soldiers are “terrorizing Iraqi women and children.”

Jack Murtha: American Marines have “killed innocent civilians in cold blood.”

Dick Durban: Things that American Solders had done things to prisoners in their control was like “ Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings”.

B. Hussein Obama: American Military is "just air raiding villages and killing civilians"

Chuck Schumer: "And let me be clear, the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda said to these tribes we have to fight al Qaeda ourselves. It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here. And that is because there was no one else there protecting."

I'm a legally emancipated 15 year old and I have a few guys that I've been seeing that are in their 20's. Can they get in trouble for having sex with me? My parents can't have them arrested because I'm emancipated and I wouldn't do that to them either. Is there any other way they could get in trouble or are they legally safe?

Do you turn all questions into an attack on Bush, or Hillary, or the "other" party in general?
Do you justify misconduct in YOUR party(or the party you identify with more, even if your not registered as a dem or rep) with examples in the other party?
Do you think WE should expect more from our leaders on BOTH sides, or do we spend too much focusing on differences, and not enough time on common ground?

Thanks.

According to the CBO estimates in order to pay for the Schip program expansion 22 million more people must start smoking within the next 6 years.

They also have said that the arguement that says the program is paid for is flawed because that estimate assumes that in the next 6 years 6 million people will be moved OFF the program. I dont seem to remember ANY social program that has ever been decreased.

Educating children remains a national priority in spite of some failing schools and profiteering by text book publishers and others. The country now embraces the notion that health care for children is also a priority in spite of the fact that SCHIP might allow coverage for some small number of unintended individuals.

The nation's health care system is broken. Improvements promised by information technology, medical advances, education and nutrition have resulted NOT in improved health care but in higher profits for insurance corporations, big pharma, and related sectors.

How in the world can the President justify vetoing SCHIP and how can Republican Congressmen support this position?

In other words...we currently have two governmentally approved warring factions within our political puppet show...Democrats (libs) vs. Republicans (cons). If the government was taken over by the current Republican Party, and they cooked all the Democrats in death camps, would all of the people suddenly become the model citizens that all of the "family values" right wingers want to see...or would the party quickly divide itself into another animal?

My friend and I invented a cardgame that is pretty original, and now it is starting to spread. It is being played in multiple states. I was just wondering how to copyright this game, the rules, etc., or if that is even the correct course of action to take. Even if it is not advisable, I'd like to do something like it anyway, just for fun (if nothing else). As a gift to the co-creator, or just to hang on my wall. Any ideas?

Too many candidates for the Presidential election, at this point, for a Yahoo poll. Can't trust most media polls.

As of right now how are you going to Vote: Republican, Democrat, Other, or Not Vote.
