How is that different from you searching for another job, biding your time, and quitting when you have a suitable replacement candidate?

The cyclists make sense, but where I live you can picture the bus with one guy on it.

That would have to be true, wouldn't it? How could your employer hold you to a contract you didn't sign?

How far would he get if he argued the same about women or minorities?

Police brutality is in the headlines a lot recently because there are factions that benefit from it politically. When that's no longer true it'll drop out of the headlines regardless of what gets done. I hope people who are sympa

That's a good observation. For me it's an either/or thing: Either I'm going to live in an area with good public transit, or I'm going to live in an area where I can drive a car to work in less than half an hour wi

Except if you go back twenty years you'll see their predictions haven't even come close to panning out on "the averages". The data set is crap, and there's no way to validate the models. Normally in science when y

Your read of the timelines is incorrect. It's more like (a) keep sanction and see Iran get the bomb within 5-10 years, (b) do the deal and see Iran get the bomb within a year or two, or (c) let sanctions lapse with no deal and see Ira

It's not a stretch at all when it comes to nuclear weapons. The Iranians are doing exactly what the North Koreans did. The "people, culture, government, and history" are relevant only to the extent to which they played in

I'm not sure why you think the GOP is in disarray. The Republicans don't trust Iran not to build a bomb. To think the Iranians won't is naive to a childish degree. We went down this road with the North Koreans. Are memo

Or neither. You probably shouldn't make allegations like that without having some kind of evidence.

The founders of the country recognized one of the common abuses of European systems at the time (we're talking 18th century, here) was that people would be arrested by the crown and charged with a crime, but then had to wait long perio

Probable cause is something you need to conduct a search. They went far beyond a search in this instance. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea they actually charged him with a crime when they had no evidence a crime was c

There's are a lot of things to cringe about in this story, but bail isn't one of them. The article says so-and-so was held in jail because he couldn't pay bail, but that's not really accurate. The guy is held because h

What would actually happen is the cops would turn off their radios and just have a bull session at the donut shop. Someone rapes your daughter? File a report at the station. Nobody is going to get arrested if cops face that kind of perso

Yeah. Between nutritionists and economists it's hard to know who not to trust the most. Nearly everything we were told as children about what constitutes healthy eating turned out to be wrong - it's no surprise obesity is such a

I sure for government and industrialist types an endless supply of cheap labor to depress wages is a good thing. I question whether it's good for the average German, though.

I agree. The societies who haven't adopted the "guilt ridden opposite of nationalism" will be fine.

I disagree. In post 19th century war is there are no civilians. All excess labor capacity goes to the war effort. And wars are started by civilians, for the most part. Why should young men be the ones to feel all the pain?
