    You are a Racist, a Bigot and a Sexist.

    I will hold the door, offer my seat, etc for another person if they appear in my opinion it would be courteous. If that person wants to misinterpret my actions as something other then my intent, that is their issue for them to handle. If they feel a civil suit is called for, then I will still...

    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.

    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.

    Gun laws do they work

    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...

    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...

    Bigger Obligation

    Dont let something like this weigh down your consience with guilt - the person (relative, friend or stranger does not matter) is committing fraud, the attitude of "the government can afford it" is all bunk because the government coffers are topped up by tax payers. I would turn in anyone I knew...

    An experienced Access developer for $4.50 an hour

    Global market - global wages. No harm in the person looking for someone to do work for $4.50 an hour, they might get what they pay for, never the less I am more then sure that everyone domestically is not getting the federal $7.25 an hour (or $2.13 if they are getting tips).
