Yeah, if people are smart about it they can scam the system. Thing is most smart people don't want or need to suck off the government teet.

The law in California must have changed since I left. If you quit you would have had to show some proof of unsafe working conditions to get unemployment. One guy I used to work with in Orange County wanted to move home to San Diego and wanted to get laid off so he could collect. When the Service...

The unemployment office calls to verify the reason for termination. Least they did in California. I had a couple people who I canned claimed they were laid off which mean they had to wait 4 weeks. In both cases the person doing the verification asked me if I thought they intentionally attempted...

So it's cool to push a button and execute even an American citizen from above but a soldier who comes face to face with an armed Taliban on the ground he has to wait to be shot at before doing anything about it. Isn't life grand LOL! My kid was stationed at a base in Afghanistan where they had...

States already have a system of refusing unemployment to people who quit their job without cause. As far as living wages it depends. Someone who's most important job skill is remembering to ask if you'd like to supersize that order isn't worthy of a so-called living wage. Those types of jobs are...

If companies are being forced to pay a fine for not providing health care for their employees employed persons who voluntarily quit their job to qualify for welfare subsidies should be prohibited from collecting them.

The only thing in my wife's plan that's changed that effects us since this disaster passed was the out of pocket cap increased from 3300 to 4100 dollars and he premium went up 4 times more than it had in the previous 3 years prior to the law change. What a great deal.... Single payer sounds...

Tastes Great! I am all for legalizing the weed but not the other stuff, I grew up in the middle of the drug culture as someone who didn't partake. Saw too many people ruin (or end) their lives because of coke and tar.

Difference is with stand your ground there's a hearing that would determine if the charges are proper or not. You don't have to lawyer up for that and even if you do it's way cheaper than going to trial. Some states it only does apply to your home. Colorado it's anywhere you have a legal...

Quote: Originally Posted by crimzy You're misinformed my friend. As far as I know, every state that observes a duty to retreat does not require that in one's own home. That is generally referred to as the Castle law, (ie. your home is your castle). And unfortunately, there are just as many...

Quote: Originally Posted by crimzy That is possible. And even if the dead man did initially commit an assault, his actions constituted nothing more than a misdemeanor. While it is easy to suggest that there is fault to go around, (which I agree with), one man MAY have committed a misdemeanor...

I like stand your ground laws. I seldom have a gun with me unless I am road tripping and then it stays in the truck. No fear, just the realization there are some crazy muthas out there on the lonely open road. If someone kicks in your front door and you ventilate their forehead you shouldn't...

But I agree with Quills, texting should be a capitol offense We are raising a generation of social morons because of it.

Remember the Zimmerman case could have gone either way and there was evidence to show he had been physically assaulted. This guy doesn't appear to have a mark on him and a tub of popcorn isn't going to qualify as a deadly weapon. This guy is going to die in jail

A couple little Douchewads set off a chemical bomb at a school here today, bout 10 miles from Columbine and Arapaho both. I think there's something in the water.

You have an awesome skill set Seth. If you really don't want to start another business I would look for a job in an field you think you'd enjoy and get on a management track. You could get yourself in the door and do school part time changing your major to business management. I think you would...

Unless the texter got up and threatened the guy I don't see where stand your ground would come into play.

Still a few stragglers and once in a while a name from the past pops in.
