I work with three men and one other woman, who works part time.. Her and I are more 'practically' busy on a daily basis..In that, I answer all mail, up to 100 letters a day, emails, telephone, scan documents, type letters, etc etc the men's job is to obtain quotes and meet clients...

Whenever anything remotely domestic requires doing, it is me that has to do it...or the other lady, when she's in. Eg.. the men all like to drink 4 cups of tea/coffee a day.... (i drink 0) I am expected to make it, I am expected to hoover the floor, polish everyones computer screens... the men do it never...

If I dont do it..I get a talking to..About hirachy, my job.. and what's expected...although this is not written anywhere in my contract.. This morning, one of them actually said to me, whilst I was making his tea, 'well, its more a womens thing' im more a business man.. I was speechless.. I have a 1st class degree, he has near!!
Do lots of men actually think this???

why don't they leave if they don't like the USA? and why do they hate this great country?

for example, many of them come here to study, but they deny that the USA has the best universities in the world and is very generous with scholarships...

I was assaulted in an empty parking lot. The came out of no where and shoved me into the back seat of my own car. He had a knife, which he used to make me stop fighting him...and he groped me. Broke my bra straps to get to me and also penetrated me with his fingers/hand. It was really painful and I have tearing down there from it. I finally found the courage to set off my car alarm with the beeper on my keychain, and he got scared off before he could actually insert his penis. Was this still rape? I tried to research this kind of scenerio online but I couldn't find much other than "rape is unwilling penetration". Please help - was I raped??

Current U.S. Senator states "The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush's watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"
Current Republican Congressman states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"
Current Democratic Congressman hints that we aren't being told the truth about 9/11
Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee, has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job
Former Democratic Senator states that he supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don't know the truth about 9/11
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt" (if you suspect he is a closet liberal, take a look at his bio)
Former director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions, and who is a Catholic Archbishop stated that 9/11 was an inside job (he also said "If our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the twin towers would still be standing, and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. [T]hat is treason")
Former U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director, decorated with the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal stated that "there is no way that an aircraft . . . would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control ... Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a 'conspiracy Theory' does not change the truth. It seems, 'Something is rotten in the State.'"
Former 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer stated that "9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war", and it was probably an inside job (see Customer Review dated October 7, 2006).
Former high-ranking Reagan official and very influential conservative doubts the official story about 9/11
Former Two-Star general questions the attack on the Pentagon
Former Air Force Colonel and key Pentagon official finds various aspects of 9/11 suspicious
Former President of the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board, who also served as Pentagon Weapons Requirement Officer and as a member of the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review, and who was awarded Distinguish Flying Crosses for Heroism, four Air Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial Achievement Medals, is a member of a group which doubts the government's version of 9/11
Current U.S. Congresswoman, former senior CIA analyst, former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter, former US Ambassador and Chief of Mission to Iraq, former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism, and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer (as well as a who's who of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there's enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath

Former FBI translator, who the Department of Justice's Inspector General and several senators have called extremely credible (free subscription required), said "If they were to do real investigations we would see several significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover this up". She also is leaning towards the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job
A 28-year career CIA official says 9/11 was an inside job
A retired 27-year CIA analyst who prepared and presented Presidential Daily Briefs and served as a high-level analyst for several presidents stated that there are indications that Cheney ordered a stand down of the military on 9/11
Former FBI agent says "The FBI, rather than trying to prevent a terrorist attack, was merely gathering intelligence so they would know who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred."
Former air traffic controller, who knows the flight corridor which the two planes which hit the Twin Towers flew "like the back of my hand" and who handled two actual hijackings says that 9/11 could not have occurred as the government says, and that planes can be tracked on radar even when their transponders are turned off (also, listen to this interview)
Former 6-year Inspector General, U.S. Department of Transportation and former Professor of Aviation, Dept. of Aerospace Engineering and Aviation says "the [9/11] commission is clearly not talking to everybody or not telling us everything .... Huge discrepancies persist in basic facts .... when we heard the carriers and governments alike saying, “Oh, no one could have foreseen this. No one knew that this was coming. No one knew that there was any risk like this in the world,” is absolutely false....
The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting responsibility
Former ambassador to Iraq is not satisfied with the official story
Numerous high-level legal scholars question the official version of 9/11. As do numerous military leaders.
And many officials from allied governments have also questioned 9/11:
Statement by former President of Italy
Statements by former German Defense Minister and current member of British Parliament
Statement by former Canadian Minister of Defense

Statements of two former MI5 (British intelligence) agents (19 minutes into video)

Statement of a high-ranking general and the former chief of NATO regarding bombs in the Twin Towers (in Danish)

Statement by the commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force; and see also statement of former chief of staff of the Russian armed forces

Is it really wrong to slap women back if they slap you ? Of course using exact same ammount of force as she used (not using all my strength to smack her head off...that's just not cool at all in my book). I say what goes around comes around....you do something for me, the least I can do is do the same to you...
Is that wrong ? So far no woman has ever slapped or even ofended me...I love them, and they love me...is all good, but if it happens, what you think ?
