Be sarcastic all you like, I am definitely not anywhere close to being able to articulate exactly what I mean when I write and I apologize for that, I do my best. I understand this, we can't have hundreds of people deciding what is right. I would think however, that there are certain...

Early this morning I was searching for info on stocks.. I chose a site to go to, clicked, and immediately after it seemed to load, another site came up in its place, with 'streaming porn'. And let me tell you, it was pretty graphic and not something I personally wanted to be staring at (or...

I understand (I think?) what you're saying, and I agree.. but I don't think it's really answering the OP.

Thank you EnglishLady. And by the way, you are a refreshing addition to this forum :) Perhaps the case of Manning does not apply... but like you said, it is an interesting question.. just looking for points of view on 'what is a soldier to do'.. Perhaps there wasn't time to pick and...

In the other country, I believe they believed their soldiers also had legal means to do what they were doing. Yes, and my question is.. what if one of the US soldiers is ordered to do something, or sees something going on which they truly believe in their heart and mind is not supposed to...

I have an honest question here, so no bashing please, just would be interested in how people see things from different perspectives. In another war in another time in another land, an army of men killed millions of innocent men, women and children because they were told to do so. They...

Somehow I am seeing this as a fairly narrow view from the driver's eyes only. The driver has to understand that there can be numerous parties involved in the completion and coordination of one shipment. If a driver's contractual obligation is with one of those parties, that is who he needs to...

Ah, sorry it is so confusing.. I was going to try to explain it more fully, but it's just too dang long and complicated.. so many parties involved.. I am speaking from the 'other side', which is 'the facility', as opposed to the trucking company. If I were the trucking company, I can't see...

This is from the other side of the fence. When you are dispatched to a pickup, don't you get the information as to who the customer is, where the consignee is, what you're picking up, etc? A truck shows up at a facility which houses numerous businesses, without an appointment; driver doesn't...

Driver was contracted with carrier, not with the shipper nor the customer. Not only doesn't the carrier owe the driver anything, but can't the carrier bill the driver for the possible excess expense in having to contract with a partner carrier after driver abandoned his responsibility?

What does this mean (from the article quoted)?: 'as a compromise'? How did they become dismissed... because they 'told'? Because they were 'found out'? Suspected? It seems pretty obvious that if they have lost that many in 17 years, no wonder they're going to lift it because it seems...

I don't know who LRT is but unless the carrier is going to issue a copy of the paperwork commitment for each load to you along with your settlement statement, you aren't going to know whether you're really getting any given percentage. (I know of at least one carrier that does this, but they are...

First time passing through Virginia we stopped at a little place for breakfast and I asked for a 'toasted Western on brown and tea'.. Do I mean, 'hot tea'? Of course? How on earth ELSE would I mean it?? (If I wanted ICED tea, I would've asked??) And then I find out they're also confused...

Apparently that word is a HUGE bad word just begging to the user to be beat up.. but it's something within those who have been in jail. One of those words that if used in there, all heck breaks lose. Who woulda thought? Someone with a less than stellar past told me that one time when I used the...

You're breaking the rules you (and many others) hold so dear. :confused:

Forgive me if I have missed a post explaining this, but... Are you Doug'???? And if not, why are you using his picture as your avatar? That seems a little over the top eh?

What are you basing your analysis of his chosen hacker names? Unless he has indicated his personal meanings for his choices, I can't see how you can gather this. Everyone's nick has a special meaning for themselves, and it may not always be obvious to others. It's possible for others to come up...

Poll Options What do you prefer? Members self police themselves to reduce chat. Use common sense and common courtesy. Chat whenever and where ever you want. Keep chat the way it is. Delete anything straying from the original topic. Something else. Aren't the 2 preferences in red really...

I find IE torturously slow and full of spyware or SOMETHING that just bogs me down totally. I stopped using it years ago and have been using Firefox instead (although I'm not altogether happy with it either since it seems to be a memory hog, at least on my antique PC). The other day I tried...

Looks like Mr. Emerich is the publisher of Northsidesun and he published an article in there a month ago: northsidesun - With welfare it makes sense to work less I don't see where that chart is referenced anywhere, but if you look up the government initiatives for all those things, I'll bet...
