Only those with somthing to hide will mind - right ?

All credit card expenses for federal to local politicans will now be published in the news papers

If there is nothing to hide then the politicans won't mind if we the people have a look

From now on all cops will have their internal dicipline record published -

If there is nothing to hide they won't mind

1 billion tax generated from X etc

All salaries of public employee's will be posted at entrances of public buildings - No names just job titles

Example
Desk clerk 28,500
Accountant - 45,000 - 60,000

----------------

Since we the people pay for all those things the knowlede belongs to the public

And again if there is nothing to hide --- then

Why don't Engineers get paid as much as that Doctors or Lawyers?

Is it just me or is the engineering profession considered a joke to all other professions. Don't get me wrong engineers get paid well compared to most other jobs, but it seems like business workers or financial workers get paid more than engineers. Yet I feel like their jobs are far more important and effect more people on a day to day basis. There isn't a single item you can touch that hasn't been designed or optimized without an engineer. Engineers make our cars safe, make our planes fly, make computers work, our roads safe, our buildings strong, etc.

Yes, doctors save lives, treat the ill and needy, but on the whole, their impact on society's future, is small in the sense that they do not make it better than today; they just keep it going. The same applies to lawyers, but again

Questions about law school?

How many yrs does it take to finish law sch after finishing a B.A? What do you do in Law Sch? Do you make a lot of presentations, have debates and mock trials? I ask because I'm kinda shy and know I wouldn't like to do these, but if there're only a few, then I can cope, Do you get loans from the gov't to help pay for it, like how you get loans for undergrad studies? How many yrs is it for law sch? Is it hard to get a job after law sch? Do all lawyers go to court to fight for the defendant/plaintiff? Pls don't laugh, but I don't think I'll want to go to court and talk in front of people, but rather work behind the scences. Besides going to court and representing the client, what else can I do as a lawyer and still make good money? On average, how much do you pay each yr (tuition) for

Height and weight discrimination?

My husband was hiring by a mining company(open pit) he was informed the other day not to come in for his next shift as he is simply too big to do any of the jobs. He is 6'6" and 350lbs. The job he was doing that day was outside directing trucks where to dump. You cannot tell me he is bigger than the great outdoors! They did not terminate him just said they will not be calling him. He was suppose to full time after his 3 months probation which would have been in 3 weeks. He was told his work was great and his co-workers enjoyed working with him he is just too big. Were they blind when they hired him and it took them this long to see?? He is also Metis...hum makes you think? Does he have a valid law suit and any lawyers out there want to try this

Mortgage Question: is it Legit to Offer a Mortgage Broker More Money than he normally Charges!?

Hi,
I am a real estate investor and a landlord. I applied to refinance one of my properties.
The mortgage broker told me and had me sign a document saying his fee is 1% of the loan he is arranging.
My question is:
I worked with him before and he is a great guy! my application is not easy to approve and I really want to compensate him for the effort if successful. Is it legit to offer him 2% of the loan instead of the 1% he mentioned? I obviously don’t want it to look like blackmail or something but… I really want to pay him more for the service! is it legit/legal to pay him

Is anyone here familiar with Nova Scotia Maintenance Enforcement & what happens if the payer is on parole?

My ex was incarcerated for appx. 6 mos. & is now on parole & working.
I haven't received any child support for almost a year, even though he has a garnishee in place for any money the federal government owes him.
If he's working and on parole I would assume that the job has to be legit (not a cash job)...so why wouldn't any support be coming through for my daughter?
I'm in the process of writing to Maintenance Enforcement...but I know very little about his situation other than what I've learned from someone in his family.

So...the main question is "Does the maintenance enforcement program have the right to check the criminal court records to locate this man & find out exactly where he's working?"

Thanks

How do I deal with my BF's lazy 18 year old son?

I need help. My BF’s 18 year old son has been living with us for the last 6 months and is starting to cause major problems.
He is lazy!!! He won’t get a job and he won’t help around the house, no matter what I do. All he does is sleep and play video games. Round the clock. Now my BF is doing the same thing. And I am fed up. This is now 6 months of sitting on his lazy ass!
I am the only one working right now and I have to constantly clean up after 2 grown men. I am tired and frustrated. I have tried talking to them about it. And they both act like I am a bitch.
I have tried asking him nicely and he says he will take care of whatever tomorrow, and never does. I tried to offer him money to do some jobs that I wanted done. He just refused to do them. When I finally have had enough

can i be sued for comments made about someone on a forum?

An individual took money to restore our truck and we took our truck back 2 years later because it was sitting in an unlocked compound with no motor in it (motor was left in bed of truck to rust). We found him on a car forum and wrote, basically an open letter, advising these people to watch out for him because he took our money and that he was taking money from new people to fund jobs he had already been paid for. He served us papers this morning saying we defamed his character with this group and is now asking for over $ 250,000 in damages (from a $ 7,000 restoration job). can we really be sued for comments made on the internet in a forum? We received a letter from his lawyer in January advising that if we did not cease and desist from further damaging his reputation, he would

How does communism work in Cuba?

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering this.

-How does it work?
-Do janitors and doctors make the same salary?
-Are people allowed to leave the country?
-How does their education system work... are there universities?
-Would students alllowed to participate in student-exchange programmes?
-Why would someone study further if they will only make the same salary doing a job you don't need a diploma for?
-Is the population of the country content about living in a communist country?

Sorry for my ignorance... I'm 19, and trying to learn more.

Mainly because in my class at school, some guy (copying michael moore) said that we should try to reform our health care system to be like Cuba's. In my mind I thought: perhaps there are so many doctors there because they aren't allowed to leave?

Is travel agent a good-paying job?

Starting salaries for travel agents are around $ 18,000 to $ 25,000 a year. After they have some experience, agents generally make between $ 30,000 and $ 35,000 a year. Those with many years of experience often earn around $ 45,000 to $ 50,000 a year. Some senior agents—usually those who move into managerial positions or who run their own travel agencies—can earn $ 75,000 a year, or more.

Anaesthesia awareness - why use a paralytic?

According to a 2004 US study, approximately 1-2 in a thousand patients who undergo general anaesthesia in the US (this amounts to 20,000-40,000 people, out of a total of 20 million who undergo GA each year) will experience "anaesthesia awareness"; becoming conscious during surgery, and in 42% of cases feeling the pain of the procedure.

Because a paralytic is administered routinely as a part of GA, patients who experience anaesthesia awareness are unable to notify the surgeons of their pain, and are essentially tortured (albeit accidentally) during the operation.

My question is this - why is a paralytic so necessary that this risk would be taken for it's sake? The only thing I can think of is to suppress reflex movements that could interfere with the procedure, but it seems that

Adrenaline races through my body as the blade neatly slices through my light coffee colored skin, blood rushing to the scene of my committed crime. This hasn’t been the first time I’ve committed this offense, I can’t remember the first time I did it. The only thing I remember is how relaxed it made me feel as I watched my very own blood trickle down my arm, creating a sensation that nobody but us, self injurers would ever understand. After two more cuts, I stop for a moment admiring my artwork or my “real” tattoos as I call them. A few silent moments have now passed and the blood has subsided. I feel so much better now, like a strong release of emotions have been set free my body.
Metaphorically, my body is a prison. Emotions and I are the prisoners trapped within my body,

Bill to criminalize presence of illegal immigrants in Arizona

Over the past several years, immigration hard-liners at the Arizona Legislature persuaded their colleagues to criminalize the presence of illegal border-crossers in the state and ban soft immigration policies in police agencies — only to be thwarted by vetoes from a Democratic governor.

This year, their prospects have improved. A proposal to draw local police deeper into the fight against illegal immigration has momentum, and even opponents expect the new Republican

How can I get it into my dads head about reconstructive surgery?

Hi all, so in about a month I have to do a deviated septum surgery for my nose. Besides that, my nose is crooked a bit in general and has always been like that. Usually most people that go into deviated septum surgeries and get some reconstructive surgery done at the same time because the surgeon is already cutting cartilage and reconstructing the septum anyways so it is simple to do it at the same time since its essentially the same procedure.

My specialist told me that since my nose is asymmetrical and has grown crooked it will be near impossible to completely straighten it perfectly, but there will be a significant improvement.

My dad thinks that is bollocks, and that it should be possible for it to be 100% straightened. How can I get it into his head that its not possible if my
