Va. "employment at will" laws are not for the working people, and we need to do something about them. This law is for the Employer, which means they can terminate you at any time with little or NO reason. If you are employeed in any job that is not union, you fall under this law. We need to get this reversed or changed to benefit the employee, not the employer.

How can the Government allow this? Why are their pictures not pasted all over the TV and Newspaper. How can people who helped mastermind and organize and no doubt take part in the murder of 800000 Tutsis and moderate Hutu's be living protected in Britian, no doubt collecting some type of benifit? I am aware that Rwanda carries the death penalty, but couldn't it be a part of extradition that the max sentence they recieve is life. Why are they not waiting in a holding cell. What moronic govt minister is responsible for this disgusting abuse of the immigration system?

Say for example they get some personal details wrong ,you cant get credit and you might not know why .This company then has the audacity to charge a fee for you to find out what they have on you and if its wrong you must provide the proof and so furthering their knowledge of you and charging you a further fee for the changes .You then have to pay a further fee to ensure the changes have been made.

Here me out please, and consider how much better of you would be if this drain on society was elliminated (and before you comment about civilized society, remember pensioners will die by freezing in the UK over the winter!- who should a civilised society spend its money on killers and rapists or pensioners).
It costs an average of £37,000 to imprison someone. If sentanced to 20 years and released after 10, thats £370,000 we pay through taxation
For the offender to repay that back in income tax to society that would take someone earning £50,000 a year about 25 years.
I believe we must get to a point in saying in some circumstances there is no economic sence in trying to reform you, you are worthles to society and kill them.

My current flatmate has announced she is moving out and is going to move back in with her mother. She says the reason for this is that she has to otherwise her mum stands to lose loads of money and that it is all to do with her Dad's will. Some of my friends think that this is rubbish but I don't know what to believe. Is there any legal reason for her having to do this? Or is she just leaving me in the lurch like this because she is selfish?

What measures should take the ""Church"" agains the pedophile priests? I would suggest the obligation to wear in every situation the red collar (not white anymore, but red). I preffer a mark, because this also has the meaning of protection from the executioner, but anyway, a mark which subdues him. The red collar will remember to the people and himself too, the cruel gesture that he has commited. I also propose to the Vatican to expose on the official site, the complete list of the pedophile priests which have already been condemned by the law.
What do you suggest?

Can you believe I just got a volation notice for posting a YouTube link to the closing credits of a kiddies TV show called Stingray? It's a TV show - for children - with puppets - If I'd posted the link to Muffin the Mule it would prolly have gone "whoosh" over the Gestapo's head like a hybrid Scud/Exocet.
New rules:
You may not say anything that can be construed as offensive, unless you have a constitutional right so to do. Ergo, You can say "I am black/gay/HIV pos/whatever, and proud of it", but may not accuse anyone else of these conditions.
Any swearing must be done in english, as opposed to american - therefore a bum is a bum, not an equine-like beast of burden or a tramp.
No reference may be made to George dubya Bush's IQ as there are innocent youngsters on this site who have not yet grasped the concept of irrational numbers - they'll ask questions about why an average German Shepherd Dog is smarter than the alleged leader of the alleged free world.

Need advice but cannot afford a lawyer.

This company's contract of employment goes this way. You join them, u sign a contract and u r bonded to them for 2 years. Why? Because they promised to give u training in the first 10 months.

If u leave within the 10 months, u have to pay back ALL the salary they have paid u so far and some other amount of $$. after then 10 months, but not exceeding 2 years, for every month u don't serve them, u r required to pay them $4000 while your monthly salary is only less than $3000. If they fire u within 2 years, u have to pay too.

In the contract, the employee is specified as an employee, with contribution made by company to the employee social security fund and pension fund. The payment made monthly to the employee is specified SALARY.

It is also specified that the amount owed if one leaves b4 2 years is "expense expended on" the employee.

Is such a contract legal?

I think the US constitution is based upon the secularism. Then, why is it against the law to commit suicide?
From the view point of religion, you can say that God is the owner of your body and soul, and only he can decide upon your life and death.
Now, if you believe that you are the owner of your own body, and are free to end it at your own will (are you??); and if you are sure that ending your life does not harm the other people (both emotionally and financially), are you eligible to commit suicide?

your answers will help a lot :)

Should we fight the online pedophile community?

To what extent should we hunt (online) and inform on self confessed pedophiles?

If some one posts on a blog

"I am a pedophile but I dont abuse children"

should we give them the benefit of the doubt? This guys arguement is that he is a "pedosexual" he is attracted to children (boys in particular) and that there is nothing wrong with that.

Its when you cross the line (he says) that you commit an actual crime your in the wrong.

Im not trying to sound like the thought police here, but I dont feel comfortable knowing people are in my community that profess to being sexually attracted to children and see that as being OK.

I have challeneged this individual to an open debate in a public arena, such as a FOX/CNN/BBC discussion board.

But what else can we do? Should we (as citizens) take pre-emptive steps to protect our children, or let the guy be free to roam and get aroused by our children?
