I thought you had to create peace in order to receive that. Why isn't Joseph Kabilia leader of War Torn Congo getting it because he actually ended a brutal civil war. The president of Ivory Coast for doing the same. Not some guy who basically made a movie.

Why is Al Gore lying on those good Exxon people?

Um, as someone kindly pointed out, Al Gore didn't invent this, he just publicized the findings of scientists all over the world. Some of these scientists weren't even studying things like global climate change, but animal habitats and other research assignments, and they saw that SOMETHING DRAMATIC is happening. So how the heck did this turn into Al Gore's "lie"? I mean, this has nothing to do with Al Gore. If Al Gore believed the sky is blue, I bet people who hate him would argue it's purple against all good sense! Would you rather believe independant scientists who are funded by universities, the government, private parties, people who have nothing to do with each other, or an OIL COMPANY who makes a profit off of what is probably causing this? I mean, never mind an educated person, anyone with STREET SMARTS can see that the oil companies don't want their profits messed with. Well, now of course, science has ENDED the debate and even the oil companies are on board to get green...

For the UK, France, Poland, China, Russia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and the countries I forgot?

As an American Veteran, I would like to say that we are approaching the 11th Hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th Month. We refer to that day as Veteran's Day. I would like to offer my appreciation for what all your nations did to end World War ll. Here in America, 1000+ World War ll Veterans are dying daily. There are only three World War l Veterans alive.

No one nation can claim the victory over Japan and Germany. It was those brave young men and women who risked everything for the freedoms of their countries. I am proud of my father and three uncles who served America and the World during World War ll. Just like I am proud of all of your Veterans. Let us not forget. Maybe someday we will learn that there are better ways to solve disputes without killing and maiming our young. Thank you and

Is it legal for a employer to hire a intern to replace another intern?

Hello:

I have been working as an intern for almost a year.

Last week my employer informed me that I would need
to leave by the month because maximum duration of an internship can be 1-year without turning into a regular employee position. Otherwise, he has given me good performance review.

I also found out that he is planning to hire another intern to replace me.

Is it legal to do that. If the job description is the same, is he required to make me a regular employee instead.

Meps Unusual Question?

Heres the deal, Had a DUI when I was 17 got it expunged, told the recruiter, im meeting with the comander tomorrow to approve my waiver. Were (recrutier, me, flight chief) are all pretty certain it will get approved. Also As a result of the DUI I willingly entered a 4 month treatment, so that I could get it Expunged. Were waiting on a waiver from the Surgeon General of the Military on that. MEPS told my recruiter their was a 70% chance I will get that approved since I entered the facility on legal reasons, not abuse reasons. My question is once I get all this stuff taken care of, what are the odds I will go down to meps and be sent back. I mean If I was honest about everything, then what else. My vision is 2020 and Ive never broken a bone, Had hernia surgery and believe it or not already got the waiver for that. What other **** could come up. Im joining the Air Force. What do you all think. Will everything be sufficient or will i have to come back then go back to meps agian.

Hire with pending charges?

ive worked at a retail company for about 6 months, and i got offered a job in loss prevention. But before they let me change positions they have to do another background check, i have felony drug charges that are pending until i complete a probation program. if they see the pending charges will this keep me from moving within the company? and will it be better for me to just say what i have and be honest and try to explain or just wait and see if they even show up?
