Maybe the reason they are struggling in their job is because of the boss? Such as "If you put a person into a job that is beyond them..."? In my experience if there are external forces beyond the manager's control causing pro

A quick search provided an ABC story that showed the rather short and simple pledge and the reasoning behind it. Nothing stated in the article supports the claim made above. I believe that's just someone's interpretation in an eff

So, arguing that one should be smart when fighting stupid rules means I accept the rule? Being stupid in an effort to fight stupid rules guarantees more stupid rules in response. What kind of nonsense are you people preaching here?

Hmm, I fail to see where my statement makes the claim I accept such idiotic rules. My statement makes the claim that it is stupid to act stupid in an effort to fight stupid rules. And then I agreed with the TSA security theater notion and b

Well, if you knew the rule before going in, then from my perspective you were the one wasting everybody's time. Sure, you can view it as a stupid rule but being stupid is not the way to combat a stupid rule. As for TSA security theater

"Your honor, the reason I committed trespass was because I had to meet patients then next day and I should be absolved of these charges." Yep, that should work.

Another way to further your point about police being a third-party moderator; we don't expect the police to shoot one or both people when answering a domestic dispute call.

Just because you have a ticket doesn't mean you can refuse to leave the plane when asked by the owner of said plane. Many people with tickets have been booted from planes for many reasons.

Georgia has had a similar program since 1993. It's not necessarily 100% for everybody, but it is for some since it's merit-based. Otherwise, covers something like 80% to 90%, or so, of the tuition. It's been a while since I&#

Using <i> for icons is a bad idea. Wait, no, it's the wrong thing to do. The <i> element still has meaning and can be used for that purpose, of which has absolutely nothing to do with icons.

>> I would just refuse to give it to them. Are they going to shoot me for money on the side of the road? You may get shot; most likely not. But you will be arrested for interfering in an investigation, or something to that effect.

That's why the original ghosts had some somewhat random behavior centered around a corner of the maze for each ghost. If I remember right, at random times a ghost will head to its own corner in its own specific way. There's an art

I wouldn't say the country was "founded" on such things. Yes, they were interwoven into the fabric of the country at the time; but the country was also created in a way that opened the door to remove those things. As for your
