    Allowed to die?

    If you truly love and respect the person you would be assisting, then it should be worth the risk of incarceration or what ever a government will offer up as the deterrent.

    Now you have it, Now you don't

    When agreements are not honoured in the long run it is a blessing, you really do not want to do business with someone who will no honour their word, oral or otherwise. Would be nice if Hallmark made a card to say "Thanks for being dishonest - it lead to a better deal"

    Indeed - we hire based on performance so we optimize on profits - after all isnt that what everyone works for - to make money?

    Company wont hire programmers with tatoo (policy)

    Being part of a honour guard, everyone knows up front NO VISIBLE TATS OR PIERCINGS, but then if you have signed up to serve your country in that capacity your country basically owns you for the period of enlistment. For other places if you are front line employee then tats and piercings could...

    Gun laws do they work

    Tasers are excellent tools, however, you need to be in close proximity to deploy accurately. Good feature of taser is that the operator has the control of being able to not 'tase' innocent bystanders. Training curve is rather steep if the users have been taught to use live ammunition from...

    Snow in Holland

    Snow just makes everything pretty and fun - seriously look at childrens reactions to a "snow day" - then just apply the same attitude to yourself, take the day off and go build a fort, throw snow balls at the neighbours, make 'angels' in the snow, build a snowman and cap off the day with a big...

    Gun laws do they work

    It will be interesting to see what happens in New York state with their proposed gun control laws. I am happy to hear about the inclusion of the Webster provision.

    A request to Americans posting on threads.

    Indeed, English is a horrible language to learn and now is further complicated with so many people feeling that SMS in acceptable in mainstream communication.

    Gun laws do they work

    Switzerland has a requirement of every able bodied male to enlist for military duty when they reach the age of majority (militardienst). Female citizens of Switzerland may apply for optional military service. In 2007 they ceased issuing weapons and ammunition to every recruit or volunteer...

    Interesting miniature

    I know a couple of his books are on Amazon in Kindle format. The book titled Ghost Rider is very inspirational. I am sure that road trip with the young man has made a huge change in his life, it is great when people do good for others in the community, especially youth and elders.

    Interesting miniature

    The best trips are ones where the journey is the highlight. We used to take 12 days between assignments and explore more based on compass heading then actually having someplace to go. Rarely taking the major highways and always meeting good people. If you like reading, Neil Peart (drummer...

    Interesting miniature

    We had similar to that, actually there are some places which still exist which are off the beaten path that you can still have the old school diner experience. Legitimate diners not someone revamping or remodelling to just be touristy or trendy. Actually a good documentary they reran on PBS...

    US visa

    If someone is tabling a serious offer of employment they would have their staff checking into making arrangements for work permits. Depending how "upper" you mean by "upper management", I would make it part of the discussion.

    Do not feed them: just throw them a bone once in a while so they feel like they actually have a purpose.

    So excellent! On the third picture: the light yellow Dodge Pioneer looks just like the one our neighbour had... but theirs was much bigger of course...

    Nelson Mandela

    I would beg to differ about the US being a success story, the view is vastly different for different races and demographic groups in your country, same as in mine.

    Nelson Mandela

    Mr.Mandela denied being an active member of the communict party, it did not mean he did not belong to the party. Lats paragraph in that article quotes from Mr.Mandela's biography

    Gun laws do they work

    I have firearms to protect myself and my family, not my possessions. Material possessions are insured and can be replaced, however, if there is someone on my property who is a threat to the welfare of myself or my family, then they can expect to be met with resonable force. It would not be a...
