Now what if the line wasn't properly maintained and you tried to call 911 in an emergency and they couldn't hear anything but static due to line noise and you died.
and then you go into a restaurant and ate all the food in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant.
Do you play Russian roullete and let 1 class get massacred so the others can escape, or do you all move to 1 location and get shot when he realizes you're all going to parking lot B?
Don't be hasty modding this a troll. Judging by the GP's number, he/she may not have been around for the scientology incident.

What kind of industry is there in a major city? A hell of a lot less than you'll find in a mining town, or a paper town, or a brewing town.
This is just what I mentioned in an upthread response. When these companies decide that moving to a cheaper part of the country/world is just the ticket, these mining/paper/brewing company towns dry up and blow away. Rent "Roger and Me" and see the depiction of Flint, MI. This city was built on the automobile. Everyone and his brother either worked on the factory floor, in the office, or had some kind of job that touched on that industry in some fashion. When GM decided to go to Mexico, the town fell apart. Same deal with Detroit with some of the most horrific urban decay that wasn't the result of a nuclear incident.
When I hear about these booming towns with high tech and other industries either moving in or promising to do so, I can't help but think that the Flints and Detroits were that way once too and paid the price for putting their eggs in one basket.
Thanks for your insightful response. Living in one of the aforementioned metro areas, the image of flyover country as trailer living with Uncle Daddy, slaving away at a low paying job "in-sourced" from a more expensive area, or living in a company town that's only a plant closing away from plunging into an uninhabitable hellhole is tough to shake if you haven't seen it first hand.
So, basically, you don't know what you're talking about wrt wages in flyover country
If you live in the major metropolitan areas (NYC, LA, Chicago, etc) where there are jobs that can pay higher wages (leaving out COL), its hard to imagine getting anything approaching that in other areas. What kind of industry is there in Kansas?

Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. It will probably even earn you some respect.
or it could just as easily bounce you back to the unemployment line/dead end job from whence you came. When you can put an ad out on Monster and have hundreds of resumes in a matter of hours, somebody can just as easily take that job, no questions asked.
Unless you have a rockstar skillset or otherwise have the company by the balls, Goliath does not negotiate with David.
Interestly enough, that was the theme around Tales from the Boom Boom Room. When you work in Wall Street firms, you sign a boilerplate agreement that waives your right to court proceedings and will instead settle disputes in NASD arbitration. Not just little scuffles over back commissions, they were taking issues of civil rights and sexual harassment cases before these industry-led kangaroo courts where many of the rules of evidence, testimony,etc are null and void. Not surprisingly, firms got off with a kiss on the wrist much of the time. Worse, when the women at these firms banded together in a class action suit, their attorneys that had gotten overly chummy with the defendants pushed an arbitration-style settlement process that would dole out paltry settlements in exchange for covering up their misdeeds. Some difference.
When companies collude to make sure that all of their employees sign these agreements, it isn't a choice anymore. Choosing between signing over your rights or starving is a farcical definition of choice.
Like the mason ring. You are not allowed to wear one if you are not a mason, but if you aren't a mason their rule doesn't apply to you, so you can wear one.
Doesn't mean that you won't be dealt with harshly if they catch you. Walk around a college campus wearing a shirt from a fraternity you don't belong to and see how long you last. If you have a real death wish, try the same with a Hells Angels jacket patch walking past their hangouts.
I'm guessing that the ipods are being used as portable storage. I think the bigger problem is allowing government employees being able to copy over sensitive material on an mp3 player in the first place.
If you have a resume up on Monster/Hotjobs/Careerbuilder, then its a safe bet that your resume was seen and replied to by these scammers. Hardly a day goes by that I don't get an email offering "payment transfer agent" jobs where you take bogus checks or checks from fraudulent auctions, skim a percent off the top, and wire the remainder to your "bosses". Weeks later after bouncing around from bank to bank, the original check is dishonored and now you're on the hook for the money you wired out like an idiot. That, or the police come knocking on your door asking why you're laundering money from bogus ebay transactions.
Another was a flimsy phishing scam aimed at stockbrokers, luring you into filling out their "application" with your info.
Caveat emptor, indeed. With the desperate people who look to these sites for work, it's no surprise that these scammers clean up.
One of those bullets would have surely killed him if not for the silver cigarette case he had in his pocket at the time, a gift from his brother before he left for the front. Who said smoking kills?
I think the trick to surviving school is to think, as I did, that school is a small part of your life and 1 second after you grad from high school it's all over anyways.
Thats certainly correct but easier said than done. When you're a junior high school/high school kid, you've spent over half of your life in those schools; the world after it is beyond the imagination of the kid who gets picked on every day. When you're mired in it for so long, you can't see to the not-so-distant future when you're in college where you can be yourself and not be subject to the harsh and perverse social structure that makes up many of those schools.
It's not surprising that they lash out when they look back on the majority of their lives spend under the heel of the ruling jocks. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Thats the problem with editing. When he uttered his famous line, Admiral Akbar really said "It's a trapeze!". He then wowed the crowed with his death-defying acrobatics without a net.
It should be important for would-be martyrs comparing themselves to Jesus to note that, by most accounts, Jesus didn't take anybody with him when he went down.

How do you outlaw something that's already illegal?
By declaring war on it, dummy.

Perhaps CmdrTaco has just had a long day.

This problem can be averted entirely if they avoid sending them up during their Pon Farr.

But he did inspire at least one copycat.
