Basically, you can get fired for nothing and there’s nothing you can do. 2: The right of ...

Oh Teresa, I can certainly see now why you were so critical of Bethenny when she lost her baby weight so quickly and why you’re so jealous of her. Obviously there will be some baby weight on Teresa only weeks after giving birth but that’s why you don’t wear skin tight clothing so soon after giving birth. Yikes! I was actually glad to see Teresa’s kids taking Karate lessons, Karate is an excellent discipline for kids and teaches them respect and good values. Parents have to support those learning’s, however otherwise it isn’t going to take. Danielle is actually doing the smart thing learning to defend herself and teaching her ...

On his blog, Nobel prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman called the numbers " truly amazing ." Though income inequality has been growing for some time, the paper paints a stark, disturbing portrait of wealth distribution in America. Saez calculates that in 2007 ...

I'm sorry I was unable to write this blog last night, but I've been an emotional wreck ever since the conclusion of Thursday's TNA Impact. Watching Tommy Dreamer fight back the tears while waxing nostalgic for his beloved Extreme Championship Wrestling left me a misty eyed mess. No matter how many times I see Tommy shed tears for ECW, I never think to myself that this guy needs to get a grip and move on with his life, nor has the thought ever crossed my mind that he has some type estrogen level issue. Sure, I may wonder what Jeff Jarrett thinks about Dreamer stepping on his turf as the emotional father of ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
First, Democratic Socialism is a proper term. True Democracy is one vote per citizen and majority rule (which leaves the minority at the mercy of the majority). What that fosters in a society is the fear of being in the minority. So, individuals abdicate their individual rights in favor of forming large groups of like minded (fearful) people. These groups tend to be comprised of uneducated laborers who form unions which adhere to the "party line". The net result is loyalty to the ruling party in return for a sense of security in a violent society. So, labor unions are the result of socialism, not the other way around. And by the ...
Personally I think all forms of abuse boil down to control sooner or later. That can be control out of fear, or a sense of inadequacy, or it can be malevolent control, driven by the need to establish dominance for its own sake, even as a proxy for an unresolved issue from the past. "Vendetta by proxy," if you like. All these attitudes can be any shade of conscious or unconscious motivation. Here are more answers and opinions from other FAQ Farmers: Abuse is almost entirely about control. It is often a primitive and immature reaction to life circumstances in which the abuser (usually in his childhood) was rendered ...
