As you apparently can't comprehend the difference between simple human error and what you call dumb decisions [again, without knowing the first thing about the circumstances of any one of them], that's probably for the best.

It's good to hear that the judge would have allowed the headscarf, but why didn't the security people know that? And the police chief is wrong to say it had nothing to do with her headscarf - it had everything to do with it. She went to jail because some officious security officer didn't know...

Definitely a case of "laugh till it hurts"!

If you're interested in cleaning products that are effective, nontoxic [no fumes to poison you], safe around pets, and inexpensive, look up The Clean Team, Jeff Campbell's pro crew of cleaners. They didn't like what was available commercially for cleaning, so they worked with chemists &...

Funny: pro death penalty and anti choice, both insisting that human error is acceptable in one case, but not the other. [If a woman gets pregnant because she forgot to take a pill, she should have a baby.] That makes sense, right? :rolleyes:

They rarely "harass" us, [most times they are called by someone], but usually, they do tell us we need to move, due to store policy, city law, or resident's complaint. It goes with the territory.

How can you say that "an unborn child's life doesn't matter" when you know nothing at all about why any woman made the decision to terminate a pregnancy? Did it ever occur to you that it might matter a great deal, but she has to make a very tough decision, when a pregnancy wasn't part of her...

The separation of church and state is not a talking point, it is an essential component of the freedoms we all hold dear. Allowing religion to influence government is a good idea - if you happen to practice the same religion as the majority. But times change, demographics change, and one day...

So you're saying a nun should be required to remove her wimple [head covering] also?

If everything else checks out, I don't see why it would. A red flag is a long period of unemployment, especially if one had been working as a driver - that looks suspicious. Short gaps are just part of looking for a job, usually.

Maybe you recall that one year ago, my nephew, age 27, died suddenly, with no apparent explanation: he was extremely healthy [ran the Warrior Dash every year] and no drug/alcohol use at all. He was in Indianapolis [lived in Ohio], judging a Magic, the Gathering tournament, when he died. His...

I most definitely do not want the government to control income - but taking from Peter to give to Paul is what taxes are for [and insurance premiums, too]. My description of what a venture capital company does is based upon the explanation/description provided back when Mitt Romney was a...

What they satisfied was a perceived need for money - and $100,000 aint trivial, in my book. Love of money truly is the root of all evil - or most of it, anyway.

You will need a CDL if the carrier you want to drive for requires it. Yes, the guys [and the women, too] sleep in the vans - make it comfy, it's your home away from home. Drivers sleep in a variety of places: truck stops [front lot], WalMart, other big box stores, state parks in nice weather -...

Many have a form letter requesting all information that can be legally disclosed to fax to each carrier you list on your app. Most will question any gaps in the timeline, if you decide to leave something out.

Until recently, I didn't know the correct name, either, lol. A hijab is just a headscarf, covering the hair. The whole body & face covering is a burka, and I can't find wearing them reasonable in any way at all. But then, I could say the same about men's ties, too - are guys ashamed of their...

Oh no it doesn't. There are some companies [Costco, Trader Joe's] who do not pay the CEO in billions, while treating those at the lower end as disposable, and they make enough profit to satisfy themselves, every single year. When the CEO made 100 times the lowest wage in his company, no one...

Income inequality is not, despite your misconception, about making incomes equal. It's about making the gains equal, ie: when profits rise, everyone benefits. That hasn't been the case for a long time, because profits rise, but the gains accrue solely to those at the top. Discretionary income...

If she had covered her face, I'd totally agree, but the hijab covers less than a nun's wimple. I get the judge's demand that people respect his rules in his courtroom, but I really wonder if he would apply the same rules to a wimple as to a hijab.

Re: Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Own These drivers are independent contractors, meaning no benefits, irregular [extremely] schedule, they pay their own taxes/insurance/retirement, get no paid holidays [except Load 1's generosity to drivers on...
