Tell them that if they don't stop antagonizing Turkey AND Iran that we will leave them to fight their OWN war....Unless the US is PAYING them to do so...good way to broaden the war in that area and try to get Iran's oil... Then blame IRAN for starting the fighting.

Any ideas other than what I have commented on?

I come from a former Amish/Mennonite family, who still believes in Non-resistance. Is it wrong for me to join the military and (as they believe) dis honor them?

Is it like the food they serve at your schools cafeteria like sloppy joe? Or is it like cereal and milk and white bread.

"After a lengthy critique of Bush administration education policies, Joe Biden attempted to explain why some schools perform better than others -- in Iowa, for instance, compared with the District of Columbia. "There's less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 or 5 percent that are minorities. What is in Washington D.C.? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with."

In Jan 07 I was molested by a client I work with in a group home. He is severely schizophrenic and MR, yet our home cant find proper placement for him so he has continued to live there since. Today (OCT) I was given a paper by the CEO telling me I had to either accept a transfer to another home within the company (which isnt an option bc the next closest home is 1hr + away) or sign a paper saying I resign my position all together even though it was no fault of my own (says so on the paper) It says that they believe his contiued issues and refusal of meals and meds may be stemming from his own guilt from the ordeal and he'd feel better if I were not in the home.
Can I say no to both requests and force them to fire me? (in hopes of getting unemployment) or can they MAKE me choose to resign and then I'm just S.O.L. ? Any help would be wonderful! I am a 21 year old mom with little resources and feel like I am being taken advantage of, bc I dont know my rights. Thanks!

I asked a question earlier today about is talk radio free speech. One responder said that "No because they do not exercise journalistic integrity" and report false information. Is this the same journalistic integrity that:

1) Dan Rather used when he published George W. Bush's fake military records?
2) That Time Magazine reported for the Haditha massacare and our marines are being court marshalled for? If you are unaware, all soldiers have been cleared of charges so far because of poor or one sided reporting. Another soldier was just charged with a bogus charge.

I don't think any journalist has any integrity anymore. They just want the story!

I turned in my two weeks at a job becasue I knew I was getting a job soon and wanted to give a heads up. I wasn't sure of the start date but thought it it would be within 3 weeks. Well its 4 weeks from now. Anyways. When I put in my 2 weeks the manager got mad and told me that tomorrow(That saturday) would be my last day. Not the 2 weeks I put in. Well I worked that day and left in good standings and was a good employee. Now does this constitute as being fired and can I collect unemployement for those 2 weeks I was going to work?
I didnt quit I was fired. The way I see it I was going to quit in 2 weeks but got fired in one day. Whats the law on this.

Also - do not let welfare moms have more than 1 child. Do not let them keep having them without fathers present so they do not have to work. This pretty much describes the city of Milwaukee.
If all the able-bodied people on welfare worked and contributed to society, wouldn't this be a better place?

I also notice the meaning of "The Dream Act" is really a nightmare for Americans ; the "Fairness Doctrine" is anything BUT fair ; "Political Correctness" is usually not so correct..and "free healthcare" for everybody, isn't free ; on & on & on . What is the similarity in much of this ? Could it be..brainwashing of sorts..or what ?
