    You should read your citations better. It says people with staff-inmate relations (which are a federal felony Deterring Staff Sexual Abuse of Federal Inmates) don't consider them wrong. Much like teenagers, I'm sure that inmates aren't in a position of authority and cannot legally consent to assigned guardians.

    I hear you, but this makes no sense. Why would anyone feel threatened a women could do a job? Statistically, I'm more worried about the H1B worker that magically sits at the office for 16 hours a day, violating every semblance of security protocols.

    Then when you went to HR you should have documented the incident, asked if there was any professional advice they would like to document on the subject, and asked for a resolution on the spot from the HR lead. Then demand an entry be made into the employee's folder noting that she has refused to complete a rudimentary part of expected job performance and tried to cover the issue up by exploiting a performance demand with harassment. Amazingly, all of this can be accomplished with good demeanor.

    I disagree. Even before Tailhook and all that other definitive stuff, if someone threatened a women in my work group they were looking for trouble. It's irrational to think that all men or women are reasonable. Drama queens excel on both sides of the fence but attacking/threatening/stalking a women is the line for my culture. We watched a sexual harassment video a few months back where some weirdo figured it was okay to sexually assault a woman. In the Navy, we have a Chief (1983ish) do that and damn near die from the beating he got from her co-workers response. This world in which it is okay to hurt women is not mine.

    I'm always fascinated when I see comments like this. Threatening rape against one of my relatives (female or male) would be a fairly dangerous activity as the greater family take those threats to heart.

    Because they obviously do not work! People still steal because they believe the laws will not be enforced. Statistically, they are correct. I can count on one hand's fingers the number of employers in California this year that have been arrested for illegal labor. I offer you the same test I mentioned before. Please come to San Diego and I'd gladly display hundreds of employers blatantly breaking the labor laws for decades. After that, we'll go down to the SSA office where non-citizens are signing up for some apparent benefits daily by the thousands.

    We don't enforce employer penalties now. What makes you think that any new rules/penalties would change the system now? It's almost like saying that new guns laws will change the hearts and minds of criminals.

    I have the Cox business plan in Chula Vista for 80 down/20 up with no cap but you'll also find out that Cox blatantly lies on their contractual guarantees and does not fulfill the speeds that they claim. When called on it, they say tough and invite you to use someone else. Oh BTW there is no other high-speed competition because they have bribed the government to grant exclusivity on vendor territories.

    There's no implicit license to kill eagles I'm aware of now in America. I was specifically discussing eagles but you keep pulling all birds into the discussion. As for the other comment I think once China and India get a few LFTRs working opinions will change.

    Aren't they (windmill owners) immune now? Feds grant wind farm operators 30-year license to kill endangered species.

    If you wanted to prevent more eagle deaths we'd be shutting down coal and wind plants and installing LFTRs throughout the country. America certainly doesn't have the grid to handle anything else in the near term.
