We refuse entry to legitamate refugees. We lock up people without charges or the chance of a fair trial.
We deport people without care of what will happen when they land.
We torture rape and pillage from those who cant defend themselves. so i ask can we still take the moral high ground and accuse others of crimes against humanity when we are just as bad or worse.
Because this is a democracy, the actions of our government and trrops are done in our name and we are responsible for their actions.

About 2 weeks ago, my laptop and my cell phone were stolen from our back room at work. I was on the clock at the time. The suspect rifled through my bag as well as a fellow employee's, a portable hard-drive was stolen from his. I filed a police report and pretty much got a "That sucks" from the owner, and that was it. I feel like I should get some sort of compensation from him because:
a. There is no proper place to store our bags, they either sit in the break room or behind one of the counters (all which are easily accessible to non-employees).
b. There is no door to the back room, merely a movable screen with a sign that says "STAFF ONLY".
c. We aren't supposed to allow non-employees into the back room, but the manager does anyway, in fact he allowed a friend of his and a father and his boy back there to use the bathroom during the time period when our stuff was taken.

Thank you. Any help at all would be appreciated.

I have been summoned for jury duty. My state is a "one day, one trial" state. This means that I'm only required to participate at a courhouse for one day if I'm not part of a trial selection process or for the length of one trial.

Viva Zapitista's?

The Zapatista's are trying to fight to keep their people in Mexico and have gainful employment THERE. The Mexican government often uses force against them by use of their military.

Now we the USA are planning on sending money to Mexico to make their military stronger. Gee...I wonder who will be one of the targets of this new and improved military? Do you think we should be supporting this type of government?

I'm a 20 year old female. About three years ago I suffered a severe lower back injury and had to have surgery to correct it. My back is now fully functional and I can do strenuous activities but I do have mild to moderate daily pain. There is a visible three-inch scar. I went to see a recruiter today about joining the Army and he said I could get a tattoo over the scar so the injury wouldn't be discovered during my medical evaluation. Is this ethical? Should I lie about my injury/surgery? If I did admit to my injury, would I be disqualified from joinging the Army or limited in any way in what they would allow me to do?

IF the Bush administration cooked the books to start this war and IF it can be proven, would you be at least reluctantly in favor of the impeachment of George Bush and criminal trials for any co-conspirators?
