We got a new guy in our room, who has a hygiene problem. He wreaks of BO all the time and the entire room stinks because of it. At first, we let it slide due to some irrelevant issues, but when those went away, the smell lingered. One of our roommates talked to him and told him to straighten up, and we even got his supervisor involved. It helped slightly for a few days, but it's back to stinking really bad again.

My question is, would I be a jerk if I sprayed a bottle or two of febreeze all over his corner of the room? I'd feel bad about it if someone did that to me. But then again, my stuff doesn't stink. I need some more justifcation for this :-p

Why does everyone say they are stealing jobs, when it is the owner of the business who is giving the jobs away?

If the business owners were investigated and prosecuted for giving away those jobs, wouldn't that give them an incentive to hire citizens or legal immigrants?

This is an idea I've always had in the back of my head, and a lot of the people I've mentioned it to always bring up free will and choice. I disagree with the concept of free will, it is just an illusion. I propose that all of our actions are set in stone and we cannot change them. Sure, we could have multiple choices for something, but once we make that one single choice, there is no undo button. That choice becomes apart of the past, which I'm pretty sure everyone can agree is set in stone.

So, any thoughts?

It's been about six years since I've done math regularly, and I'm trying to get back in the groove, but this problem is tripping me up. I assume the first thing you do, is bring everything to one side, which would give you x^3-4x^2-5x>0, then factor an X, giving you x(x^2-4x-5)>0, then factor the quadratic, giving you x(x-5)(x+1)>0. I'm stumped as to what to do next
