There is a law that the governor wants to pass in my state (Missouri) that says anyone who knowingly helps an illegal immigrant to get a driver's license should be prosecuted and punished. In Missouri it is already a crime for illegal immigrants to get a driver's license but this also implicates people that help them to get one:

What do you think of this idea, are you for or against and why?

Given their beliefs that America was founded by racists and slaveholders, that it is an imperialist nation, that 35 million Americans go hungry, that it invades countries for corporate profits, and that it is largely racist and xenophobic, it is a fair question.

If the Bush truly believes in freedom and democracy for all, isn't this really the first step?

Those wanting to help improve society should volunteer to mentor a migrant, it was suggested yesterday.

Mentors could teach newly-arrived immigrants to speak English and to apply for jobs, according to the report of a review ordered by Gordon Brown.

They could help individuals and familes adjust to the subtleties of life in Britain and show them around their new neighbourhoods.

Those mentors looking for a "more socially focused" relationship could offer migrants a warm welcome in the form of "a great big smile and a great big hug".

The plan for volunteers to spend an hour or more each week helping immigrants get used to their new country was published by former Attorney General Lord Goldsmith, who is running the Prime Minister's Citizenship Review.

I recently left a job due to a move. My job involved sales, and I made a 5% commission on any print material I sold each month. I worked through Ocotber 17, 2007, and made $13,709.42 in print sales, which should be around $700.00 in commission. I had no contract with my employer-- nothing saying that I would or would not receive commission upon exit from the company. My former employer has now told me I won't be getting that commission. No reason why-- just an email from him, over a month later, saying that I'll get no further compensation from him, and good luck.

My question is this-- am I entitled to the money that I was told initially I'd get? I realize this is a long shot, and in the grand scheme of things, it's not a lot of money. But it seems that if you tell an employee 'This is what you'll earn', shouldn't it be paid?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Excerpt from yahoo:

Iceland has overtaken Norway as the world's most desirable country to live in, according to an annual U.N. table published on Tuesday that again puts AIDS-afflicted sub-Saharan African states at the bottom.
Rich free-market countries dominate the top places, with Iceland, Norway, Australia, Canada and Ireland the first five but the United States slipping to 12th place from eighth last year in the U.N. Human Development Index.

But the index, blending 2005 figures for life expectancy, educational levels and real per capita income, finds that all 22 countries falling into its "low human development" category are in sub-Saharan Africa, with Sierra Leone last.

The man shot 2 burglers that broke into his neighbors home. This man deserves a medal, but i can already hear the liberals whining about excessive force, and gun control. Why would ANYONE not think this man is a hero?

Ok, so I would say I am moderate in my political views, with slight leanings to the left and I work with a bunch of ultra-conservatives. My boss constantly sends all of the employees these articles about how Al Gore is wrong and how Global Warming is bullcrap. Before Thanksgiving, another co-worker sends the whole company this article from a conservative journal talking about how Thanksgiving is really about God. The only other liberal that works here sends an email saying that it is wrong to subject all employees to these emails. Argument ensues, somehow gets on the topic of Iraq, then the liberal and the conservatives are going back and forth about weapons of mass destruction, all the while copying EVERY employee in the company on the emails. Is this wrong? Is this legal? What is the best way to go about dealing with this issue? Should I say something to someone? It is making me feel uncomfortable.

sorry if this is confusing.

on the 12th of the month i gave my boss notice that i have to leave by the 1st (of next month). i wanted to leave right away, but gave my boss time to find a replacement.

now what i make from the 15th to the 30th of the month, i get paid on the 10th of the next month.

if im leaving on the 1st.... am i still supposed to get paid still? cuz i hear when u quit, your not supposed to get your last check.

i cant see why i wouldnt get it.. or else i'm working the last half of the month for free... which is ridiculous.

".... nuclear energy may just be the energy source that can save our planet from another possible disaster: catastrophic climate change."

Are the Dems trying to destroy America and our planet by NOT allowing the US to build nuclear plants?
