  • Legal form question? need advice..?

    I was wanting to pitch a charity proposal to a huge company. The thing I'm afraid of, is I present the idea, they say no at that moment..and then just take it as their own. Is there a form that anyone knows of that can be signed before discussions take place? Some kind of confidentiality/protection from "Idea theft" basically that could be used? Any help would be appreciated..thx

    P.S. I would not be presenting the proposal,or making up the drafts..so don't bother with critique of grammar, that's not what I'm worried about.

  • Why is everyone so worried about nukes?

    I mean let's be honest with ourselves americans. The only people to have ever used them on another country was ..us. Maybe, you'd like to keep that american flag wrapped around your eyes and remain blind. But that won't change the facts, and if you think we did it because of pearl harbor then you're ignorant of history. Japan was going to surrender within two weeks, regardless of whether we bombed them or not. We did it too show our might (on civilians nonetheless).

    As far as all this "bomb,bomb,bomb Iran crap".. maybe you should look into the coup of 1953,educate yourself a bit. We (the CIA) personally destroyed their democracy.

    Blowback is a serious thing. We keep on getting in everyone affairs, making up WMD lies,gulf of tonkin lies,It just goes on and on..the bay of pigs, to the contras.

    We need as a nation to get out of this patriotic bubble. We could be a great respected nation,but as of now, can you blame the world? We have a bigger military then the next 13 countries combined..and those are allies,or at least not enemies.

    So, should we be scared of Iran and it's "nuke"? let me hear your thoughts..

    My opinion? they should be scared of the next chicken hawk that comes into office.

    Scared because they were unfortunate enough to be living to close to the straight of hormuz, And we want it.

  • How's everyone feelng about this great capitalist country of ours?

    in 1980..the average compensation of a CEO was 40 times that of an average worker, today the average is 500 times that of an average worker.

    In 1979 the American worker's average hourly wage was equal to $15.91 (adjusted for inflation). By 1989 it had reached only $16.63/hour. That's a gain of only 7 cents a year for the entire Reagan decade.

    But wait. Things get worse! By 1995 it had risen to only $16.71, or virtually no gain whatsoever over the 6 years between 1989 and 1995. During the great 'boom years' between 1995 and 2000 it rose briefly to $18.33 per hour. In other words, from 1979 to 2000, even before the most recent Bush recession, after more than two decades the American worker's average wages increased on average only 11.5 cents per hour per year! With nearly all of that coming in the five so-called 'boom' years of 1995-2000, and most of that lost once again in the last three years. And that includes for all workers, even those with college degrees.

    The picture is worse for workers who had no college degree. That's more than 100 million workers, or 72.1% of the workforce. For them there was no 'boom of 1995-2000' whatsoever. Their average real hourly wages were less at the end of 2000 than they were in 1979! And since 2000 their wages have continued to slide further.

    Maybe we should work harder america!

    With 1992 as base year, productivity was at 82.2 in 1979. It grew to 94.2 by 1989 and 116.6 by the year 2000. In the past year, moreover, it has exploded, putting it over 120. That's a nearly 40% increase since Ronald Reagan took office.

    The American worker not only works more hours in a year than his counterpart in other industrialized nations, but is the only worker in the 13 major industrialized countries whose hours worked per year actually increased since 1979.

    *these figures were only up until the year 2000..since then, the CEO pay has doubled and the average worker pay has decreased.

    How much farther down will we go folks? Don't cry anything of socialism,communism etc..they are just as horrible.

    We need to address this do we not? or do we just shut up and work harder?

  • real eatate/ renting legal issue..need some advice.?

    My nephew recently rented an apartment in southern illinois. After he moved in, the rain came, and the floors are literally soaked. He then met the neighbors who had moved to the next apartment for this same reason.(they used to occupy that same apartment) They said it happens every time there is significant rain. there is black mold that you can see and smell...is there any renter protection laws anyone knows of? It's unbelievable that they just continually let people move in until they complain,then switch them to a new one. any help would be appreciated.

  • Should we bring the draft back?

    I bet it would really put into perspective how important a decision to go to war is. When do you even hear of afghanistan anymore? It's truly sad. And Iraq? Are you serious? I bet there wouldn't have been a war, if we had a random draft. People would pay attention, that's for sure, and really determine if it was a necessary war.

    BQ- If you are a congressman who decides to go to war, then for your vote to count..You must have a son or daughter in the military and heading to the front lines of said war...seems fair no?

  • everyone understands america is a nation of immigrants right?

    not some white holy place,where whites came from. we get here(as immigrants) and steal the land from indians,who were already fighting with the mexicans. so..indians and mexicans first. then we bring black people as slaves to build this country on their backs,until they are freed and treated like dirt.where is this retarded notion that we need to "take our country back" coming from? it was never ours. we ARE immigrants too. even had criminals and white slaves(indentured servants) sent over as well..no papers or green cards. the diversity is what makes us great. you know,like that jew einstein who helped us get the bomb first,hence solidifying us as a strong nation. you want to be with all whites?go back home..find a little town in europe. anyone not think were immigrants?

  • shouldn't trump take up colbert's offer of 1million?

    we all know trumps 5 million dollar deal,but colbert offered a million to charity,if trump would let him dip his balls in his mouth.lol..i think he should do it.what say you?

    *translation for lsta- In a riposte to Donald Trump's opprobrious and publicity-seeking offer to bequeath $5 million to charity if President Obama releases his college annals, a moved Stephen Colbert has a propoundment for a grandiose amount to the mogul's preferred charity if he can immerse his testes into the aperture from whence he perorates.

  • why do cons hate abortion?

    they care sooooooo much for the unborn baby..but once the baby is born,say to a teenage girl who can't really afford it. let's say a black teen mom,shall we cons? then all of a sudden they're welfare queens and stealing your tax money and derfty derf der. why don't the just not get pregnant?that'd be great wally,but not realistic.. so why care so much for the unborn,but once they listen to your advice and have the baby..they both become trash? does the special wear off? what gives pro-lifers?

  • you didn't build that?

    is this really an insult? or are you just being fox sheep?

    "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."
