I am a 26 year old black female, who for the most part, tries to look at the bright side of things. Well, this past friday, the company I work for awarded fiscal year bonuses. Now, there is a 40 year old white woman who does the exact job I do and gets paid the same wage that I do (she showed me her check stub one day). This person started about 6 months after me and daily she comes to work, does her job, surfs the internet, collects her check at the end of the week, and that's that. I on the other hand, come to work daily, do my job, assist others with their job, have requested to move to one of the other teams (my department has several teams with different functions and I wanted to learn them all), sign up for additional training classes my company offers (ocassionally coming in on my off days), and collect my check. This same co-worker and I were talking today and she said her bonus was $1850 but mine was only $1200. I'm confused and I don't think it's fair. Are they racist?

A true Atheist (I feel) is not interested in proving religions are wrong! I believe that religious people have the duty to make me believe that religion is right! Athesits I know are not interested in disporoving religion but I just wish socities can live in a 100% secular society rather than religious people making the people in power bow to there religious beliefs (E.G. Muslims wanting to ban a picture of a pig in a an office place)

i say yes, all the way. there are NO advantages to smoking. it jeopardizes your health, and can hurt other people by secondhand smoke. but it does bring up this point: it would just make for more illegal drugs, and could possibly make it worse because criminals would make their own cigarettes and smoke/sell them

Just a few days ago I moved into my new place. Before I moved in my landlord told me that she would send her cleaning lady to clean my apartment and that she would have the carpets shampooed. When I moved in I realized the apartment hadn't been cleaned but since I didn't have another place to go I went ahead and moved in. That same day I talked to my landlord and she promised that her cleaning people would come and clean my place, this never happened. The night I moved in I noticed noises coming from the attic (I don't have access to the attic) and then I discovered some mice/rat droppings in one closet. I told my landlor and she promised to take care of this. Two weeks have past since and she hasn't done anything. I decided to clean the place myself and got some mice poison, so far I have found only two dead mice. I know I made a huge mistake when I went ahead and trusted my landlord and moved in, but is there anything someone in my situation can do to make her do what she promised?

I'm typing this and listening to the yobs shouting ,screaming and letting off fireworks in the local park.
In the daytime you can see in the parkland broken glass, needles and condoms. Our wheelis bins are stolen and burned in the park. Fires have been lit and my neighbours who back onto the park have rung the Police only to be told fire isn't their responsiblity that is for the Fire Brigade.
Here is the best bit the Police Station is 200 yards from the park !

Basically, if I slaughtered your entire family, would you want me to spend the rest of my life in a nice cell? I hope not. Wouldn't giving back what I gave be real retribution? Why wouldn't capital punishment work? You have to fight ruthlessness with ruthlessness!

Can anyone point me to any websites where I can read up on the Texas law regarding accessing and reading another person's personal email without their permission? The email was not associated with work, just a personal hotmail or yahoo account. The person who did this did not have permission to access the account at anytime and was never given the login in or password. They also did not access the account for any monetary reasons. It appears they read the emails just to read the emails. This person also does not live in my house so the account was accessed from a different location, possibly their home. What legal rights do I have regarding this matter?

Ok im looking into a future worse case scenario that hopefully wont happen. Someone sued me in small claims for a little under $1300. Considering if I cant pay that back, what can happen? I have a newer car, but I dont own it and im only 6 months into the 5 years finance. Im renting the place where I live and there isnt anything thats in my name. I work but make tips so my checks are really small (about $120 bi-weeky, any servers would know this). Basically my situation has got real bad and im barely making enough to cover myself right now. But in case I can pay them within a reasonable time or they decide they dont want to do a payment arrangement, what they can done to me?

What is the legal basis for this presumption ?

Is this presumption rebuttable ?

Can judges draw general conclusions about human conduct and use it as the basis during trial ? Can a trial be conducted based on such generalizations or assumptions ?

gone too far? A young 13 year old boy playing childhood pranks -- ding dong ditch -- with other friends touched the breasts of a 13 year old girl when she answered the door. Now that young boy must register as a sex offender and will be on the sex abuse registry for the rest of his life because Governor Rod Blagojevich believes children are MINORS of convenience -- meaning that they are minors only when he wants to control them or "protect them" like for driving vehicles, smoking or drinking, but when they behave like children, touching boobs or pinching butts as is routine for most young people (until recently) they are now capable of self- control and should be treated as adults? Why is our government so warped and why is it that the juvenile laws are not uniform so that kids are juveniles until they become 17 and then, they are adults from there on out and can do whatever an adult does? Why should they be able to joing the military and carry guns & kill but not have adult rights
