a company is responsible for two things with it's workers... 1) providing a safe atmosphere and 2) compensating for your time with a paycheck
now - if a company wants to stay competitive with other companies they SHOULD want to offer free training, etc... training is a perk, not a requirement of the company.
as far as work taking up too much of your (not the author of this thread specifically, but people in general) time and you're needing the money to pay for things at home, etc... you're living a lifestyle choice. you can work 1/2 the time, just don't buy all the nice things you may want. if you value time with your family more than time with your 50 inch television then it shouldn't be a huge issue.
we've just created a culture in america that you have to have certain things, that you're owed those nice things, etc... not to mention we're taxed out the %$@# and that's put a strain on families and is a huuuuge reason we don't have moms that stay at home with the kids much anymore. it's just a big hole we've dug ourselves into.
if you claim to base your support for your theory based on a bee flying (evolution or creation) you're a moron. the creationists still have their belief and the evolutionists still can't prove where each animal came from - even the bee. (and no - determining how a bee flies, how a cat walks, or how a minnow swims isn't proof of evolution)
i give this movie a 9.9. great effects, great story, great acting, etc... my only beef is with the blue/green screens at some scenes. they can create an UNREAL looking lion in CG, but they can't properly superimpose 4 kids against a backdrop...
awesome story and even more meaningful if you catch the Christian-based references. i got a bit teary eyed at times. *sniff*
they are taking a stand. some people put their faith in God and some put their faith in the assumption that one kind of animal can give birth to another kind.
i personally believe there is much more scientific evidence supporting creationism - but that's my religion and darwinism is other people's religion.
that's the beauty of a free marketplace and private business. if microsoft, aol, and yahoo wanna have their own networks - let 'em do it! if you don't like it...don't use it. go start your own open instant messaging network.

so you can't make a nice looking, aerodynamic car?
if anything - sue 'em for making an ugly car. honestly, how come these new hybrid cars are so nasty?
