"Islam was hijacked by leaders in the Middle East to keep people ignorant and obedient. " - Baker This is not a new concept. It has been repeated in history more than a few times. A more famous and recent incedent would be Nazi Germany. I don't know enough about Islam, and it is my f
all I want to know is how do i get my music that is on tape and turn it into a mp3. I have stuff from the 80's and 90's and I have like no way of listening to them. wait... I can't do that, because the RIAA just said so. Oh well... I guess i should THROE ALL THE MUSIC I paid for out and then buy some more.
The picture whould have been enough evidence to remove the child from her home??? Not in NYC. Not with ACS (Administration for Children Services)
Bakerstreet said: (Post #65 Responce to Post 63 and 64) That's bunk, frankly. The civil rights movement was big machine, and King was one of the shinier cogs that people noticed. It's criminal that he has a national holiday in light of the thousands of people of all races that worked to make change, and also gave their lives. It should immediately be changed to "civil rights day" or some such in honor of the other people who fough
Where do you live again? Is it the A train to Rockaway? And why didn't they just take you guys to the part of the subway that is underground? Take a look at this: http://www.onnyturf.com/subwaymap.php It shows you a map of NYC subway lines. By the way, trains don't physically turn around. The train driver (motorman) just switches from one end car to the other end and runs the train from there.
Seriously... what is so bad about Wal-Mart? Why do people think that a job should always pay, no matter what it is, a 'living wage'? Granted that many 'entry level' jobs are really just dead end jobs with no chance of advancement or pay increase, but they are low paying jobs for a reason. As far as employee treatment, I am not sure if Wal-Mart is different than any other major chain of service/product businesses. Is McDonalds a ba
"I don't know if it's "outlived their usefulness" as much as "over played their hand." I agree with that. Where I used to work, I think having a union was a great idea. A union is there to help, not just to be a burden. I have a major bet though: How many of you hear actually know the employment rights of your state? I think you will be surprised that you can be fired at any time for any reason in most states and you ba
this is just funny.
I also want to add this: Without King or his supportive wife, the many people who made this country great but had to prove they (and their ideas) were worthy now get a real chance to be apart of the economy as a whole. Remember WWI and WWI? If the American Goverment decided that they just were NOT going to use women to replace men in factories and other mostly male jobs, they would have HAD TO keep men from the war and put them to wor
Well... I have to say many don't quite get it. I was on the bus and a few kids were talking about it and they were saying, "what exactly did she do?" First, just because Jackie O didn't get it doesn't mean someone else can Second, she did allot more than eing a wife to a husband that did allot for others and did allot to her in times of marritail hardship Finally, while I don't agree to all of the hoopla, I can see why she go
No. I don't believe the Bible is literal in the slightest. I believe there is a deeper truth there that a lot of people don't see. Reminds me in a way of the old Zen saying that if you see the Buddha on the road then kill him. Or the one about the Wise Sage that points to the moon but the idiot only sees his finger. The Bible (to me) is that finger. I try to use it to see the reality of the Moon. by shovelheat That is basically my ans
Come on, who really wants to be black anyway? I prefer brown.
Great... I can't edit. Super.
I am not exactly all for the strik, quite frankly.l The 33,000 to 35,000 people who work for Transit get paid pretty well actually. There is nothing wrong with a base pay of 30,000. When I took the test for Conducter, i was amonst almost 1000 people trying to get in. Trust me, those people aren't trying to get those jobs because they don't pay well. Then there is over time. The MTA wants them to pay 1% of their medical
Oh and another thing... Some people, but seemingly more poor people, get frustruated at the learning proccess and getting things right. In other words, if it takes too long to learn, self doubt comes into play (as well as laziness). Knowing that it might take you longer than someone else shouldn't be a sour note in learning it. Once you learn it, be the best at it. Hear in America, being called dumb seems to be a problem so l
See, I have a lot to learn, but I have learned that in order to improve your status, you need to speak the LANGUAGE of the businesspeople you serve. To them, the bottom line is vitally important, as it should be; they are paid to run a business. If you can show them how a decision can affect their bottom line positively or negatively, they can often be enticed to change their outlook. EXACTLY!!! I knew of this indirect
Reply By: bigrickstallion The problem is run off. It kills streams, rivers and wildlife either directly or by feeding the growth of insideous weeds that strangle the water ways. Stream stangled by weeds doesn;t have the oxygen to allow algea to grow so fish have nothing to eat so birds have nothing to eat.... etc etc etc. Basic food chain cause and effect science. LMAO You only proved Draginol's point. A liberal will poke h
This is so funny!!!! Its ture too. The left is slowly disapearing. maybe its time for a thrid party? I think that is what is going to happen, just like in years past.
It's relatively easy to behave oneself whilst on death row.... LMAO You got to be kidding me. As I said in the other article simular to this one, I think this is about wherether prision is about reform or just a holding cell. Is prision a place to 'learn your lesson' or just a place to exist until you get out. And further more, death row for 20 years? where is the justice in that? You get convicted and now you wait 2
I heard about this. I don't know too much about it either. I am sure there are some strong opinions about this one and reform. Is prision for reform? Is it just a holding patern? I think that is the argument for many people: why have prisions and hilding cells when people change just for them to be put to death anyway (or worst, set free and have to live with the record of being in jail and not finding work). Its one of
Real earnings for full-time workers between the ages of 25 and 34 who have only a bachelor's degree have, in fact, dropped by almost 10% since 2000, by 5% in 2004 alone. This exaggerates the burden of their debt. For many 30-year-olds, establishing themselves takes longer and is more complicated than they thought it would be. "It's so much more difficult to achieve the adult milestones today than it was 30 years ago," says Draut of the think tank Demos
Many moons ago I wrote about how "Is It Really As Simple As 'Work hard and you will make it'? and it would seem now that I have found out why I feel that way. In a MSN Money article about college debt and over spending I read how basically most people my age (between 25-35) who went to school and *gasp* finished did not get the jobs, the money
The Welfare system benefits other people across the board, it’s not just a one color thing anymore, and everyone who needs the help is on it. Funny you say that since Black people didn't dominate the welfare roles until around the late 80's. Personally, I don't think reperations will work or are needed (if they were, it should have happend years ago, not now). Our reperations was being intergrated in schools and being able to buy home
oh lawd... here we go with the fair use and fan art debate.

Oh and by the way... there is an eonomic term for goods that are a nessicity... I forget what its called. Oil for many people is one, so I would disagree with the idea that 'just don't use it then' works. This does not take away the fact that I see no problem with them making money, I do however, have a problem with oligopilies in services or products that are nessiciary for the economy to run. I think looking into what oil companies are d
