Are there any laws against companies harassing union officials?
Question by : Are there any laws against companies harassing union officials?
What can be done if a company is “head hunting” union officials because they do not like them. They are nit-picking the rules… for example, taking a seat away from a particular job because a disliked union official does it… or pulling them in the office about clothing – when that clothing is the same as their co-workers who are not asked to do the same. Either way, the company is not strict on everyone, just the officials…
Is there any kind of law or standard union rule which can be brought to the company’s attention in order to make it stop?

Answer by laughter_every_day
If it can be proved, any sort of discipline or adverse treament BECAUSE of union activities is an unfair labor practice. There are all sorts of things one can do because of an unfair labor practice.

Now is war like a game or not ?? Is it really that horrific or actually very exciting?
Question by : Now is war like a game or not ?? Is it really that horrific or actually very exciting?
IT DOESNT TAKE THAT LONG TO READ. JUST 2 MINUTES OR SO.
I always grew up thinking war was terrible for the people involved, and tragic and not like in videogames or something. I thought it was like 90% boring tactics and then sometimes killing which is horrific. You always hear people say war is terrible any person thats been to war cannot bring themselves to talk about it for decades and is tormented by it. People say “war isnt a game”
But now recently Ive been doing some more research and the image of the reality Im getting now is leaning far more towards that war IS a game than towards it being tragic and horrific. Im watching al these REAL combat videos from Iraq. And its all heavy combat, theres all people getting blown up and pulverised by buildings and stuff. But the soldiers are having a blast. Theyre screaming like its a football game when they blow something up. The whole atmosphere seems to be like playing with fireworks or hunting in the woods, just fun. Every now someone gets hurt or dies, but hey so do people with extreme sports like motorcross, formula 1 or destruction derby. I try to get some feedback from iraq veterans, and allot of em seem to love war. Things like “I loved every minute of it” “being in the militairy was the best thing that ever happened to me” “Its like a rollercoaster, its scary but once its over you want to go again” They all seem to love videogames too surprisingly, and spend lots of time on their playstation playing shooters when theyre off duty. For reason I thought that if you’d spend time in real war, you wouldnt really feel like playing warvideogames with some cheetos because you’d be tormented of memories of the people you’ve killed or the friends youve lost and what you coulve done to prevent. Most soldiers really do not seem to have a problem with this and love shooting away on their playstation.
When you ask a veteran something about what war is like though you often get people being offended, being like “thats disrecpectful, its too painful for that person, my grandfather never once spoke about it for 20 years” And no offence, but I wonder sometimes, is the reason veterans do not want to talk about war is because it really is that painful or because theyre ashamed of how much they actually love it ???
No offence meant. Im not really pro or against war. Just genuinely curious and confused. Is war really that horrific now, or do they only say that because they are ashamed of how twisted and perverted it is to enjoy killing so much ?? When people say “war isnt a game” is this really true ?? Or is war for most soldiers just like a sportsgame, like an extreme sport. Just a deadly risky exciting adventure ?? Is war really all hell ??
ps: I really dont wanna offend any soldiers, I think youre awesome too. I think I might enlist myself. but maybe for a change itd be good to also think about how the people that lost a loved one that got blown up by the militairy got offended by the soldiers shouting “WOOOHOOOOOOO HELL YEAH” like its a sportgame

Do you agree with the policies that encourage replacement of hunting and gathering with agriculture? Why or w?
Question by fineagirl1: Do you agree with the policies that encourage replacement of hunting and gathering with agriculture? Why or w?
When agrarian cultures run up against non-agrarian cultures, the farmers often believe that they have a mission to “civilize” the non-farmers and to make better (more efficient) use of their resources (particularly land). Farmers tend to see non-farmers as “dogs in a manger”–there they are, sitting on a useful resource, not letting others put it to use for their purposes, like the dog who could sleep anywhere but makes a bed of hay and won’t let the cows eat it.The difficult question I’d like to ask is this: under what circumstances can a social group compel the forfeit of resources in order to use them “for the greatest good for the greatest number”? Is farmland like hay in a manger? To make the question particular: in the Amazon basin today, rainforest is being cleared to make way for agriculture. The tribes who get their living from the forest are being displaced; agriculture seems a “higher and better” use of the land.

Apparently this guy didn’t get the memo that you don’t drown, electrocute, and torture the deer when you hunt them. Nor do we fight them illegally for entertainment and kill the losers. Not to mention that it’s socially acceptable to eat deer in our society and I don’t think too many people would be comfortable with eating a pitbull.

Tough “Call”?
Question by Karen: Tough “Call”?
It’s always tough to decide when to call after meeting someone new, but what do you think?
Here’s the basics:
1st date: Mutually planned/asked
2nd “date”: He asked me. Quotation marks because he just brought me over to hang out with his buddies– I was just “one of the guys.” But the night ended with a sweet, long kiss (for the entire length of a romantic song).
3rd “date”: I asked him to a football game. At the last minute he brings along a buddy. I’m “one of the guys again.”
I can’t tell if he’s interested in me, or if he just wants me to be a “pal.” Should I just play coy and wait for him to make the next phone call or date? Or should I be the forward one?
What do you think guys? Is he into me? Would you want the “hunt” or for her to call you?
Best answer:
Answer by half dog
if he initiated the kiss then i would play coy if i were you. if you are too foward it can freak a guy out

In Hearts Wake: www.facebook.com/inheartswake – Lyrics Below Directed and Edited by: Juliet Carrington ‘The Night Is For Hunting’ by In Hearts Wake – Featuring guest vocals from ‘Dan Brown’ (Confession). Taken off In Hearts Wake’s ‘SPLIT CD’ 2010: www.inheartswake.bigcartel.com LYRICS: I am the night sky hunting you down, I am invisible, out of sight, like truth to the world. I am the starless emptiness you feel. You are the epitome of “vacuous.” Fucking suffocate. And as the streetlights start to fade away, You feel the sudden change. I know I’m better off without you in my way. My hands around your neck, taking away your breath, The air is leaving you but you don’t feel a thing. I am here. I am the starless emptiness you feel. You’re the epitome of “vacuous suffocation” And as the streetlights start to fade away, You feel the sudden change. I know I’m better off without you in my way. My hands around your neck, taking away your breath, The air is leaving you but you don’t feel a thing. I cannot be heard. I can’t be felt. I exist in your surroundings so therefore I am here. Fucking suffocate. I cannot be heard. I can’t be felt. I exist in your surroundings so therefore I am here. I am here. With weapons being words, I’ll surround you all. I am the night sky hunting you down. I am invisible, out of sight, like truth to the world. I am the starless emptiness you feel. Starless epitome, so fucking suffocate. We’re waiting for the end.

My “Ideal” USMC Career?
Question by : My “Ideal” USMC Career?
I would love to enlist with the UZ Recon contract and become a 0321 Recon Man after Boot Camp and SOI. I would then like to apply for MARSOC. I would be very content with that, but I would also like to try and get selected into Scout/Sniper School.
Now lets say I excel in everything physical and get expert marksmanship, what do you think my chances of getting into MARSOC and/or Sniper School?
I’m asking because not much is guaranteed in the Marine Corps and I would just like to know the chances from a “numbers game” standpoint.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
Please don’t tell me about how hard the training is or anything like that, if I wanted to know that I would have asked.

Answer by *ash*
You’d probably like The Darkest Powers Series by Kelly Armstrong. The first book is called The Summoning, and the second is The Awakening. the 3rd is coming out soon.
anyways, it’s about a girl who can see ghosts..but everyone thinks shes crazy, so she is sent to a home for ‘troubled teens’ but while shes there she learns that the other teens are alot more like her self and not so ‘troubled’
it’s really good, and it’s suspenseful..there hasn’t really been any romance yet, but i do think there will be some in the next book.
and i also like the house of night and the blue bloods series that your reading

Book illustration, “The catcher in the rye” really need advice!?
Question by : Book illustration, “The catcher in the rye” really need advice!?
Hey, I need to illustrate the book “The catcher in the rye” as part of a book report for school, and i was thinking of drawing Holden on a cliff in a field of rye with his arms wide open (connotes savior which is what he wants to be, but is also ironic because Holden is not very religious, and even though it doesn’t say so clearly we can assume he is an atheist) in his red hunting hat,, which seems to appear in every symbolic moment in the book. there will be children running around him and some of them will be falling off the cliff and holing on to it, as the original poem which Holden thinks of (If a body catch a body in the rye) is everything but innocent, so the falling children shows how naive Holden is, and how he is still a child forced to live in he adult world.Does this make sense? Do you think it is a good idea or should I change it?
Thanks in advance!!
