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...

It's "obvious" to whom? Because jobs aren't created out of the desire to provide work, they're created by demand for a product or service, and nothing else. Demand is created by people with discretionary income. Discretionary income is in short supply among the majority of working class...

Neither would work, sigh. Disabling text in a moving vehicle would include passengers in the back seat, and on the bus. And parents should set an example, [and probably many do], but that doesn't mean teens will follow, and btw: the majority of people I see texting while driving are adults. It...

It's not about what the church requires, it's about "religious beliefs" and practices. Many nuns no longer wear habits, but others do, and consider it important. Would a judge order them to remove it? I don't think so. Even the title says "headscarf" - the hijab doesn't cover the face, or...

I applaud your view - but it's not in agreement with the legislators who said it is about allowing churches to "pick somebody to drive the bus", or with the anti-regulation crowd. None of whom offer specific regulations, I notice. But every regulation has a reason, including the need for a...

It happened because someone made a mistake, and someone else repeated it - not unusual, in journalism. Is the "stepping over each other to do hit pieces" rationale applied to mistakes about liberals, too?

Georgia judge jails Muslim woman for wearing headscarf to court | Law | The Guardian Interesting question: would the judge order a nun to remove her head covering?

I think it does matter, because tv/video doesn't give one time to absorb what they're hearing, to question it, or to check the sources & quotes. Reading allows one to do that, and to see the degree of bias.

Calm down, Barkley, the Daily Beast has retracted the story and apologized to the Gov. In their defense, they did ask one of his staffers for clarification, [Friday], and got a truly muddled answer, which sounds like the staffer didn't know anything. It's human to err - what matters is how you...

Another attack on Christians - or wait, maybe it's Mexicans. :rolleyes: What a moron!

Just wait till they hear from their insurance carrier, lol. BTW: the Ga legislator in the link from Mj's post is seriously deranged. Truly, deeply, madly deranged.
