The population in the projects down here in New Orleans it permanent...same people, generations of families...welfare mothers and families, often with no jobs...
Sorry, I don't buy that they eventually get cut off....you have people there living off the social teet for a lifetime, in a vicious circle that breeds new generations living the same bad dream.
I have to pay for people's bad planning?
Minimum wage jobs are for kids in school to make some extra money...it isn't meant for grown adults trying to raise a family?!?!
If you're too stupid or shortsighted to try to excel and learn something in school, I have to pay for your bad educational and vocational choices? Where in the constitution does it say I have to be my brothers keeper?
Many of us do...talk radio, or at the very least, to get traffic updates and weather while driving in....
Of late, I usually listen to the radio on the way in, I like to listen to Walton and Johnson in the mornings....I plug in my ipod for the drive home.
I do, however, miss the days of getting my new music from the radio, like when I grew up. Most jobs I've worked...for security reasons, won't let you stream music, and I'm usually so busy, I don't really have time to search out the internet and plow through countless music links or whatever...to find new good bands I like. *sigh*
Besides the fact that the economy has turned around since near collapse in 2008
Really? Seriously?
You see the current economy as having been turned around and working for us again in the past 3 years?
Wow...wish I had your magic glasses to look through...I still see high un-employment, high gas prices, higher food prices....and more debt piled up by any US president (even Bush)...with nothing to show for it.....
There is this perception that all welfare recipients are these irresponsible drags on society who do nothing and just pop out kids. There certainly are these cases but I think they are more likely your outlier than you realize.
Tell you what...YOU come down here to New Orleans, and look around at the projects around town...and see how much you think the worthless welfare crowd is the outlier of the spectrum.
I see it all the time....and it is a vicious circle of poverty, and no will whatsoever to get out of it. It has been so instilled here for generations...even Katrina flushing out the city...couldn't get rid of that welfare culture. It came back. It came back along with the drug thug life and violence that accompanies it.
You know...after over 3 years, the "blame Bush" for everything is getting a little old.
After all this time, he has nothing to crow about other than "it is Bush's fault"? Ok...he got Bin Laden. Nice...however, that hunt had been put in place a long time ago.....hey, guess that was started by Bush, so, ok...he's still on that kick.
You'd think after over 3 years, Obama would be trying to run on his amazing record and accomplishments for his presidency....but no....all's quiet on that front.
You are likely the 0.004% outlier on the welfare system recipients.
I stick by my statements...perhaps we set a time limit on benefits...after that, if you don't have a job and can't provide for your children, then sure...take them away.
Why should society pay for your mistake of forgetting to wear a condom?
If the web site is accessible it will work well on mobile. Ditch the piles of eye candy and put information there and it should work fine. PS flash and java script is not allowed anywhere ever.
90 days is a bit long for this kind of thing, but it might be short enough that the job can get done.
90 days? Are you insane???
90 days is barely enough time to gather up some people to form a committee to pick the board to evaluate the letter head logo design contractor bids (ensuring , of course...that these contract bids being considered are ONLY from minority, female owned companies)....
What are you smoking??? Care must be done to do this correctly....the Federal Way!!
Yeah, screw poor children! Why don't they get jobs.
Well, if they can't afford to have kids, they shouldn't have kids.
If they have kids they can't afford to feed, then put child services to good use...and remove the kids from the home. Not feeding your kids is child abuse, no?
Let's quit giving welfare mothers incentive to have kid after kid by different fathers and never marrying....quit giving them money to procreate. If they can't feed their kids....take the kids away. Let those parents work, and when they can earn enough to live without welfare...then maybe they get their kids back.
Telling them that they should try this free software put extra burden on your customers and that isn't good. I am not saying go all out with a Microsoft Solution... But I am stating you should understand the abilities and infrastructure your customers use. As a consideration.
Well, starting out...have maybe ONE MS computer, with legal copies of office..etc...to use when the opensource you use won't work with that odd document that you just can't open or use with an opensource solution. I'm guessing for a small, startup office that would suffice?
In answering my own email, I found this article that gives a number of good sounding choices for open source calendaring systems, that you could pair with a great email server like postfix.
It is HIGHLY capable, manageable....and quite powerful for email. It works great and is a workhourse that won't crap out on you like Exchange can (or could in the past). Simple IMAP or POP...just works. You can set up something like Squirelmail as a web front end for it if needed....
Not sure about calendering....is there something open source you can set up? Maybe it will work in conjunction with postfix?
It is the privacy side of things that are worrisome I think. Social search sounds great until you forget it is broadcasting and search for something embarrassing.
Really...I mean, would you want to seriously be broadcasting all your pr0n searches!?!?
If the blonde chick in the article picture is the one asking the question, I think we can all easily answer no!!.
She's too old, ugly face and pudgy to be 'too hot' for anything...especially lingerie. Unless said lingerie was for heavy set women...and even with that...she's not what anyone would say was "hot" upon first glance at her.....ugh!!
Except it is more than that. Murdering someone based on the color of their skin or perceived membership in some other group you simply don't like takes it beyond murder and into terrorism.Except it is more than that. Murdering someone based on the color of their skin or perceived membership in some other group you simply don't like takes it beyond murder and into terrorism.
Maybe this would hold water back in the old days, or like the KKK when they'd ride on horseback and lynch someone.
That simply isn't a fear in today's society. There is too much uproar and group knowledge these days for intimidation tactics to work...no one is going to move out of town due to this...so, no, it isn't terrorism.
What it does do...is lessen the crime for people not belonging to a minority....it makes these very same crimes on them less important.
What happened to equal justice for all under the law?
No it didn't. There are long standing distinctions between different degrees of murder and manslaughter.
Yes..those have to do with if the death was premeditated, or accidental.
That's plenty sufficient. If you killing someone in a premeditated fashion...whether you did it due to jealousy, sex, color...whatever, that is covered. (Usually a 1st degree or 2nd degree depending on your jurisdiction). There is no need for a 'hate' crime addition. You planned and killed a person, whatever the reason......we already have a punishment for it.
You don't find deliberately inflicting serious pain upon another to be criminal in nature? Agreed, it's not murder, but it's something.
I don't see where he inflicted serious pain to the other kid.
He broke privacy laws (I'm not sure the exact ones in that state) at most.
Sure, it would be embarrassing....but I don't believe there is a law against embarrassing someone, if that was the case, we'd have to lock up most of the population.
Hurt the other kids feelings? Sure...against the law? No.
Embarrassment and hurting someones feelings are not criminal infractions, and nor should they be.
You claim he would have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER that a gay student might face more scorn or ridicule than a heterosexual in that situation?
No, I"m saying he had no idea whatsoever that the kid would kill himself. He should not and thankfully IS not being held liable for the kid taking his own life.
I'd say that likely 30 days (time served) fits the crime...he didn't kill that kid. He should have only been convicted of breaking whatever privacy or non-videotaping laws are in that state...nothing more. The fact that the homosexual boy committed suicide should not have entered into it in the first place.
The number 1 (unwritten) law that the kid broke is the law of Political Correctness
Under the (yet-to-be-written-into-the-lawbooks) Political Correctness Code Of Conduct, you are forbid to do anything against the gay, the minority, the underprivileged, the poor, the handicapped, etc., etc... or we will fire your ass
Hear hear!!
This indeed, does seem to be the way (sadly) society in the US is heading. Nevermind the actual laws he might have broken....possibly some sort of privacy one if that state has that. But oh no!! The victim is gay...that makes it MUCH worse. Kinda like how murder is bad. But hate crime murder...is WORSE. I still don't get that...murder results in depriving someone of their life......the person is still dead.

Is it "my" fault someone has bad luck? Is it my responsibility to make up for someone elses bad luck?
To and from work....5 days a week.

Whoever modded me troll above...has obviously never worked within, or for a federal agency or project.

I don't think most of us hate Obama. Heck, I think most of us would likely enjoy his company for a couple of beers...he seems like a nice guy.
He just makes for a LOUSY president.
While I like him as a guy...I'd vote for a small soap dish over him in the upcoming election. Anybody but Obama.

Just because their automated equipment fails....isn't your fault.
Those laws cover everything we need. Usually premeditated is 1st degree..the worst.
The reason WHY you premeditated it....isn't important. If you planned to kill someone over money, or if they were a different race matters not.
So, we don't need 'hate' crimes....they are already covered under the existing laws.
Maybe this would hold water back in the old days, or like the KKK when they'd ride on horseback and lynch someone.

Actually...yes. You'd likely also be liable for civil action..sue your ass in court.
