I guess this is the born out of the SIN thread what is the worse thing someone can do . . .but it is still legal. I think CEOs that f*ck their employees out of the retirements via various underhanded methods Like Firing a person 2 months before they get full retirement to just save money Rocket River
Well I would say lying or misleading people to start a war is about as bad as it gets. It is technically against treaties and international law, but since the U.S. doesn't believe it should be accountable for that the laws don't apply to the U.S. So it isn't a crime, and yet thousands and hundreds of thousands of people can die as a result. I think if there is going to be a war, the people that fight in it deserve to have the truth.
nah. lying under oath, no matter the subject, is already against the law! a blowjob is exactly the kind of thing that gets lied about in a sexual harassment suit.
For me, I'd probably say abortion is at the top of my list That and cheating on a spouse and that type stuff came to mind first. I'll have to think about it some more.
What are some examples of this? I have never seen this done, it would be very bad for business from both a morale perspective for the remaining employees, as well as reputationally. Please list your examples. Enron was fraud, that is a crime, so they are exempted from your list.
My father in law worked for Eastman Chemicals in Arkansas. He had worked there as a PhD Chemist for 22 years and was less than a year from early retirement. They had layoff, he got axed, and got no special severence package or anything. He also was undergoing treatments for prostate cancer at the same time. Very caring management.
he was not looking for real examples he wanted to derail the thread Notice he put up nothing of his own so basically. . if it is legal .. he is fine with it Rocket River
No, I was looking for real examples. What you described, River, makes no business sense at all. Please share your examples. I eagerly await your response.
Oh Hayes you are such an idealistic young lad. Let me know when you sign up to go fight the Janjaweed militia in Darfur - or when the President does, or when you have finished your moral indictment of [Every President or high level official ever] for [tolerating/dealing with/allying with/shaking hands on camera with/doing nothing about] the [genocide/human rights violations/other bad stuff] in [the Balkans/Darfur/Rwanda/East Timor/Former Soviet Union/Iraq/Somalia/Liberia/Argentina/Tibet/China]
Not sure why I have to go to Sudan to say that allowing genocide is bad. I am, of course, a baaaaaaaaaaaad man - but I don't think I could hop on a plane and stop that conflict myself. Some of us don't live in moral vaccuums, and unsavory choices are sometimes necessary, but allowing genocide is pretty bad IMO. I guess you disagree.
You don't have to go to Sudan, but are you indicting the President for not doing anything about it? Yay or Nay? Or is it just an "unsavory choice". You've managed to take two diametrically opposed positions (the moral crime of ignoring genocide vs. "unsavory choices are sometimes necessary") in the span of a few sentences, so pick one and run with it.
No, I was thinking more of the Cold War when I said unsavory choices. I would certainly say the administration should be doing whatever possible to stop genocide in Sudan.
