If she was working at any restaurant, gave away a meal, and then offered to pay for it after she was caught, she would still be fired. Probably not, most restaurant managers are human beings and are okay with giving hungry kids meals. Especially if it only loving cost $1.70.

The below hypothetical actually happened to me.SnakePlissken posted:It would be kinda like searching your office server - that everybody has permissions for - for a graphic file you need to write a manual for in-house software, and you get all these nudie pics, and you realize you've inadvertently discovered your co-worker's porn stash on the company server, of all places. Are you now guilty of using the company computer for viewing porn? The idiot didn't just have it on a shared server, he had it on a web server. In the web root. Of a national park service site ( government tie in!) I found it when I was looking for content not linked to in order to find stuff to delete cause we were running out of space ... Due to his porn. I was not charged for viewing porn on a government computer because the moment I realized what I was seeing I closed the browser, took that server down for emergency maintenance, then called my boss. In the follow up investigation created time stamps revealed he'd been doing this for over a year at least. He was charged with misusing government property, lost his job, etc. his laptop was similarly contaminated ... And also full of Indian trust data so we were in a really awkward place where deleting stuff off it could lead to accusations of hiding data related to that lawsuit but not deleting stuff on it meant it would be full of porn when the lawyers started poking at it. Yay being an intern and not having to make those decisions.

Illegal immigrants should play by the same rules you and I do, and not be given a special priviledge due to their criminality.

Qin didn't enact laws through a structured process which allowed for bloodless succession and changeover of power and positions. America has a process, which illegal immigrants do not wish to participate in. If you wish to change American law, organize a well-funded structure, get elected, and change the law.

Just because they broke the law doesn't mean that they are going to hang their head, say sorry and go back from where they came from. They still have to be charged and officially deported. We haven't become so lawless yet that we are going to round them up, brand them and put them in camps. Of course, if you want them out so badly, then increase funding and revenue to get the job done. Or severely punish businesses who break the law. Neither of which will happen.

Gregg Abbot of Texas has an awful, nasty idea: http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/johnwright/texas_gov_greg_abbott_banishes_bill_of_rights_display_from_state_capitol quote:The display (above), a sort of secular nativity scene sponsored by the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, showed the founding fathers and the Statue of Liberty looking down at the Bill of Rights in a manger. The group's “Bill of Rights Nativity and Winter Solstice Display" sat in the basement of the Capitol — also home to several Christmas trees as well as a traditional nativity scene — and until Tuesday went largely unnoticed by the general public. So, Drawing Mohammed and mocking other religious icons: Okay Christianity? Now hold on there...

Because Texas posted:The state's Republican agriculture commissioner recently threatened to slap anyone who told him "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." I feel like this could be comedy gold if he chooses to assault the wrong person. A headline about "Republican Politician has poo poo pushed in by angry retail worker" would bring a smile to my black hearted face.

quote:"The Biblical scene of the newly born Jesus Christ lying in a manger in Bethlehem lies at the very heart of the Christian faith. Subjecting an image held sacred by millions of Texans to the Foundation’s tasteless sarcasm does nothing to promote morals and the general welfare." Man PC really has gone mad. Christians need their safe spaces and blankets otherwise they have their feeling hurt.

The supervisor was an idiot. In these cases you pull them aside privately and chastise them for not going through the established route to ensure this kid isn't going hungry, and explain to them that I they did right in an inefficient manner, that you agree with their sentiment but here is how we make sure kids are taken care of What you do not do, and I stress DO NOT DO, to people who are feeding hungry children at Christmas time, is impersonally poo poo can them by mail Sad that a lot of people will agree with this, because in America property worth even less than 2bux is far more revered and valued than any human life
