Wrong place for that.

The constitution protects the individual from the tyranny of the majority.

See, you said all that stuff without saying the F-word. I'm telling you, you ought to write up the boogie when it's over. You've got talent. (for writing, that is) Ken

You're right, Kallend. However, how many civilians were saved by the death of him and three civilians? US Troops were apparently 5 minutes away. And the house was under US surveillance. Why not at least attempt to take him alive? Callous indifference to civilians never used to be the American way. You question is valid, but I don't know enough to answer that.

Then again, maybe there's nothing we can do about WWII without a time machine, and maybe one of the lessons of the 20th Century is we've learned better than to butcher civilians to further our political ends. You're right, Kallend. However, how many civilians were saved by the death of him and three civilians?

Civilians were killed by the millions in WW2. I don't here anyone bitching about that. Maybe it's because GWB wsn't involved.

What's the worst? Mine's an air raid siren.

I love reggae, but am confused about it's derivatives: Ska Reggaeton Dance Hall Can anyone tell me what characterizes these three styles of music?

It looks like it will be too windy to jump tomorrow, but.... "You won't know, if you don't go."

There was a guy I worked with years ago that made a mistake that cost me dearly. I came very close to verbally giving him what he deserved. I figured it didn't matter because I was leaving the company anyway. I knew I would never have any contact with him again Two months ago he called and told me about an incredible job opportunity that would allow me to get away from the stress factory I was working at and work from home. Between the loss of the commute time and the constant overtime, I have gained back 800-1000 hours of free time per year. I now have time to skydive and I can honestly say that the job change has been one of the most life altering events I have ever experienced. If I had told him off, it would never have happened. ALWAYS take the high road.

Hi Folks, Got some excellent advice from my instructor. As luck would have it, I will be 30 minutes from Perris & their tunnel in early june. Cool!!

He did. Looked pretty bad.

It's spelled "Dixie." I do remember it. Or is that the lyrics to a song?

Hi Folks, Did 3 AFF jumps Saturday and by the 3rd one my legs were all over the place. Anyone have any tricks for fixing this? Ken

Whose jump?

Thasnk you for your insight. That's the problem: If you think Wal-Mart is corrupt wait until you have an individual or a group of people deciding what everyone deserves.

Helloooooo.... I'm still waiting to hear how much the "living wage" is for that teenage boy floor mopper on his first job. Come on folks, I need specifics. Once again, I remind you that there are a few specific issues I have with Wal-Mart from having worked at their corporate office, I don't love them. However, everything I've heard here is just pure sanctimony.

"...evil is evil, it is not necessary, any company that pays their people a low wage so they qualify for "public" assistance needs to be done away with" OK: I want you to tell me how much per hour Wal-Mart, or for that matter, any company in America should pay a 16 year old boy to mop their floors. Now's your chance to set the lawful wage for inexperienced 16 year old floor moppers. Come on, now, how many dollars and cents per hour should your law require that 16 year old floor moppers with absolutely no other experience make?? When you are done with that, tell me in dollars and cents what a "living wage" is. And once you have established what that wage is can you honestly say that every person in America that is able to punch a time clock entitled to it? Is a living wage a God-given right? Is a "living wage" a God-given right to EVERYONE? I'm not saying that Wal-Mart is without flaw. Reminder: I quit working for them. However, most of what I'm reading in this thread is more of the blithering hysteria I was talking about.

I worked at the Wal-Mart Home office in Bentonville, Arkansas for three years. I left them about three weeks ago for another job. What a ride it was. I can tell you that unless you have worked for them, you won't fully understand the phenomenon that is Wal-Mart. One of the best parts was watching the blithering hysteria of the rest of the world over what looked like to us, just us doing a really good job. I'm glad I worked there, but I'm glad it's over.

There have been misfires, right? Zipp0 I assume there have. Don't know for sure. I think in terms of probabilities: I'm a lot more likely to be rendered incapable to pull than to have an AAD misfire.

I doubt it. If anything, regular Coke is going the way of New Coke. Dasani flavored water, Blak and the new version of Tab are attempts by Coke to stay in the soft drink market, which is rapidly moving away from traditional sodas. -Blind You're right. For the first time ever, non-carbonated drinks are outselling carbonated. I've tried it, It's pretty good.

Back on topic: I think the video is totaly fake.

Now: '06 Lotus Elise Wish I had: '99 Mazda Protoge Wait, I got that backwards.

That helps a lot. Thanks. My only worry is if I get too hurt to start the new job and it's insuranc.

Just got a new job that will allow me to leave my current job at the Wal-Mart home office and WORK FROM HOME. I estimate that the reduced hours and no commute will result in at least an additional 800 hours of free time per year. I'm pretty excited. This will allow me to jump start my totally stalled skydiving pregression. I have a question about health insurance: My current job ends on the 19th. My new job starts on the 24th, but I won't be covered by the new job's health insurance until May 1st. I am concerned about jumping prior to being covered by the new health insurance. I know I can COBRA my old health insurance in the event that I get hurt during the time between jobs. My concern is that if I get banged up real bad and am not able to start my new job, I'll be stuck with paying to COBRA my old insurance while being busted up and un-employed. Am I looking at it right? Any opinions from Knowledgeable HR professionals or attorneys??
